Our Mission
My promise: slow, careful work—because these photos aren’t replaceable.

How the restoration process works
Every photo is different, so I don’t do “one-click fixes.” We’ll start by talking through what you want (and what you don’t want) so the final image still feels like your original. I restore by hand—repairing damage, balancing tones, and improving clarity while keeping the look natural. Before anything is printed, you’ll review the restored image and we’ll make any needed adjustments.
Step 1: Details & expectations
We’ll go over what you’re hoping to fix, what matters most, and any reference details you remember (colors, uniforms, eye color, missing pieces, etc.).
Step 2: Restoration & proof
I restore the image carefully and send a proof for you to review—so you can tell me what feels right (or what needs tweaking).
Step 3: Final corrections before print
We’ll make final changes together before printing, so you feel confident in the finished result.
Customer Satisfaction
I’m not happy unless you’re happy. I’ll guide you through the process, keep communication easy, and make sure your final images feel like you.

FAQ’S
How long does restoration take?
Turnaround depends on the damage and how much detail work is needed. After I see the photo and hear what you want, I’ll give you an estimated timeline.
Do you need the original photo?
Not always. A high-quality scan works great. If you don’t have a scanner, we can talk through options to get a clean scan or photo of the original so I can work from the best file possible.
What kinds of photos can you restore?
Most common issues are fading, discoloration, scratches, creases, tears, and small missing areas. If the photo is severely damaged, I’ll tell you what’s realistically possible after I see it.
Can I request changes after I see the restored proof?
Yes. Proof review is part of my process. You’ll see the restored image before anything is printed, and we can make corrections so the final result feels right.
