      Too often people do not realize the value of a photo until it becomes damaged. Remember all those old family pictures stored in a box somewhere at your parents house? Well, one day they will be yours. What shape are they in? Can you identify the people in the pictures? Probably not. At least not if you are like me.

That's how my business got started. I inherited two large boxes of photos of my parents and grandparents. Some were in excellent condition, others were damaged. I then began a mission to find a way to properly handle the good pictures, and restore the damaged photos. In the end I started a business doing photograph restoration and special effects.

Shown below are links to before and after pictures that I worked on for customers over the years that I operated the business. The first two photos were done by my daughter when she worked with me in the business.

Another feature we offer is sepia toning of your picture.

Sepia tone refers to the colouring of a photographic print to simulate the faded brownish color of some early photographs. This process can be simulated using a computer and digital photo-editing software.
Please follow this link to see an example of sepia toning.
