Restoration
Both time and elements are a photograph's worst enemy, especially when they haven’t been stored properly. Age alone can cause scratches, folds, tears, fading, extreme color changes, and other damage. Water and mold damage can cause photos to dissolve or stick together, bleed ink, weaken, and stain. With photo restoration you can return your damaged photos back to near perfect condition.
Our photo restoration services can repair rips and tears, recreate missing pieces, restore faded colors, re-balance exposure, and repair damage from water, fire, light, or mold. We can retouch photos upon request for things like teeth whitening or editing out skin blemishes. We can also colorize Black & White photos!

Our Restoration Process

Organize & Prepare Your Photos
- Gather & Organize: Gather and organize your photo(s) that you would like restored. Organize them chronologically, by event, or any order you like. If you would like to have your photo(s) custom-named, have them labeled with the name you want for each photo.
- Photo Prep: Remove any items attached to your photo(s) that could damage them during scanning, such as paperclips, staples, rubber bands, adhesive tape, glitter, or glue. Gently peel off any corner tabs or protective sleeves that might be stuck to the photo(s). We cannot scan any photo(s) that are glued into albums. If you would like those scanned, please remove them and clean off the glue or adhesive backing.
- Flatten Out: If your photo(s) are curled or bent, gently place them under a heavy book for a few hours to flatten them out. This will ensure the best possible scan quality.
