Services:
Photo restoration is a very personal thing. With today’s modern technology, we are no longer limited to dark room restorations and airbrushing, and therefore should not have to pay the heavy cost of such techniques in order to restore our family heirlooms. I have prepared a variety of restorations/gifts, and the list continues to grow as each project is as unique as the customer. My goal is to make photo restoration and photo collages affordable, especially in support of honoring our ancestors and veterans.

Some of the more common services requested include:

• Black and Whites to Color (avg. 2-4hrs)
• Combining people from separate photos to one photo (avg. 2-5hrs)
• Photo collages, especially denoting genealogy (maternal/paternal family tree) (avg. 3-6hrs)
• Basic photo restoration (avg. 1-3hrs)

These time estimates are based on typical projects. The actual time for your project will really depend on how much restoration must be done to each photo involved, and the number of photos to be integrated.  Email me a copy of the photos you desire to use and I will quote you up front my cost.  Should my time exceed what I estimate, it will be of no additional charge to you.

Again, my goal is to make this an enjoyable experience for both of us. I want you to receive the best work at the best cost, and I want to have fun doing it! Be creative, but be clear in your expectations/vision. It may be that you do not require my services, nor those of any other professional photo restoration service. There are some basic photo services readily available on a do-it-yourself basis almost everywhere in the country, through the use of special printers in many national chains.

I would recommend these machines for:

• Scanning
• Red eye reduction
• Adding text to photos
• Basic photo copying
• Photo enlargements

Feel free to contact me and I will discuss with you how you can find a printer near you for such do-it-yourself projects. Otherwise, if you have a special project in mind or are looking for great gift ideas, I would be glad to help!

As always, I do not accept projects with photos that have an active copyright. If you have questions about copyright, feel free to contact me. For photos with a copyright, I must have a copyright release form in order to work on the photo.
