Services - I'll help you preserve your family history, whether over the web, by mail or in person

Custom Photo Restoration over the Web

Photos may be mailed:

When mailing your photo, be sure put the photo(s) in a zip lock bag, and use a USPS protective mailer or place the photo between 2 stiff pieces of cardboard if placing in a thinner envelope. Be sure to write “Photos: Do Not Bend” on the outside mailer. Upon receipt, I will examine your photo(s) and then email you an estimate. If you choose not to have me proceed, notify me by email and I will promptly return your photos. If you accept the estimate, respond with a confirmation by email and I will proceed as requested.

You may Scan & Email your photos:

For the initial estimate, send a small jpeg version of your photo (800 pixels wide); I will examine your photo and respond with an estimate. If you accept the estimate, you may email me your request to proceed - for best results, please scan your photo at 300 DPI in TIFF format and send as an email attachment - I will proceed with the restoration as requested. If you would like the photo to be enlarged significantly, ask me and I can advise you as to what would be the best scanning resolution.

(Note that once acceptance of estimate is confirmed and work commences, order cancellations will not be accepted.)

Upon completion of Restoration I will mail:

• your original (unless emailed)
• restored photos on premium photo paper
• CD with a digital copy of the restoration

General Policies :
Since results are subjective and there is an artistic aspect to photo restoration, we do not offer a "money back guarantee" of satisfaction on completed work. That said, we want our clients to be happy, and are open to discussing minor revisions on request. Please view samples on our portfolio page, to determine if our studio is a fit for your needs.

Other fine print: Unretrieved Projects & Originals - we will hold originals and completed projects for pick up for 3 months, during which time we will attempt to contact the owner for pick up or other arrangements for delivery. We do not guarantee storage for unretrieved items beyond 3 months. Thank you.

"Fantastic results! Jason brought an old family photo back to life. He took time to discuss the details of what could be done, beautifully restored the photo of both my great grandfather, great grandmother and great great grandfather. The photograph's integrity was maintained and details enhanced. The work was completed within the time frame we had agreed and Jason personally delivered the final results. Now I have a superb gift for my Dad, Uncle and brothers."
