Got an old photo that could use a little touch up? Maybe you have one that needs a full restoration. I can repair or restore your old pictures and make them new again.
I can take a group portrait and remove one or more people from photo, or make a blow up of one of the people in photo. I can even put Dad's head on Mom's body if your ready for a family feud. (Not responsible for injuries to the jokester) If I can't restore your picture, there will be no charge. The original photo is necessary for good results, no matter the size or damage. The charge varies with the damage or difficulty of the photo, but unless it's extremely simple, a restoration starts at $35.00 and is rarely over $100.00. This includes two copies of finished photo and a disc so you can make extra prints and you'll never have to pay to have the same photo restored. Unless requested not to, I keep a copy of all photos that I've restored in case of emergencies, so you can even purchase copies later.
Take a few minutes to see some of the work I've done.
 
 
This Civil War photo was in extremely good shape. It needed a bit of work to clean and sharpen the image, but not a lot of damage. It's not possible to tell by the image that you can see, but the writing at the bottom of the photo was very readable in the actual picture. It's a good example of what you can get for just $35.00. plus S/H
This was also a friend that we needed a good photo of before she was sick to remember. While her husband didn't like the picture of him, it was a good picture of Lynn, so I took Lynn and all the unwanted background away. I increased the size to an 8' X 10' from the original polaroid snapshot.
 
 This was definitely not your ordinary restoration. With Historic value as well as family value. The original was a wallet size tin photo that had been through a fire. There was even a fourth person in the photo that the owner had not even seen. There wasn't enough of the fourth person to save, but I was able to restore a good bit of the features of this couple and the child. This is one of the rare photos that I had to charge more than $100.00 for. I was still able to keep it under $150.00
 
The original here was less than three inches by less than four inches. I like keeping the original edges on these old photos when possible, so I blew it up to include the edges in the framed picture. Using the white outside area behind the photo, it looked matted in an 8X10 frame. Roy (Peck) & Addie West
 
These two below, are friends that one in each photo passed away. Once again, we found ourselves looking through snapshots for a good picture to blow up.
 
The picture below was restored from a tiny original with some damage. The original photo was 1.5" X 1.78". I was able to get a good 5" X 7" finished photo.

I'll be adding more soon, so check back. I have quite a few photos prior to 1900. Some are Civil War photos.
 
If you are interested in having a picture restored, send me an email and I'll let you know what I can do. If you have a good scanner, I can restore your picture without you taking it anywhere. If you don't have a scanner, we can still take care of your original until I get it on my computer, then I'll mail it back to you right away, insured of course!
