Memories are IRREPLACEABLE!!! How many times have you found an old photo of your parents or great-grandparents, only to be dismayed by the condition of the print? Fortunately with today’s technology, some experience, skill and an eye for artistry, much of that image can be recaptured for your family.I am, first of all an artist and a photographer nearly all of my life. Restoring photos has been a natural progression to an extra service we can offer clients. Because we want you to be happy with the results, we will either email you the final image so that you can approve it before we print it, OR upload the restored photo files to my Shutterfly Professional account for your review. If you’d prefer, you / your family can view / order the prints and enlargements from there, if you’d like.
The price categories listed below will give you an idea of the typical costs you can expect for restoration services. Please keep in mind that it is impossible to accurately quote a photo restoration, photo retouching or photo archiving project without first seeing the condition of the original image. We will not proceed without first providing you with a quote and receiving confirmation as to what work you want done. Also, rest assured that we will never alter your original.
Estimates are provided free of charge. If you refuse the estimate, the only charge you incur will be the shipping and handling charges involved with returning the original photograph (see fixed charges below).
