PRICING/ HOW IT WORKS
For $39.95 we specialize in bringing new life to old photographs. Our retouching and restoration services include correcting exposure, contrast, color balance, cropping, and removing minor imperfections such as scratches, lines, and spots. Whether it's a color original or black and white photo, we can enhance it to perfection. We also offer colorization of black and white photos and restoration of damaged areas. Should a job require additional work, the cost may exceed $69.95, and we will notify you accordingly.
Additionally, we provide discounted prices for restoring four or more images at once.
We offer prints in various sizes at affordable rates.
Getting your images to us
You can bring your photograph to us if you live in or near the Tidewater area of Virginia. Phone 757-771-6860 to set up an appointment to meet with us. We will ask to hold on to your photo, if possible, to use for comparison with our work in progress. We handle original photos with great care and store them safely until ready to be returned to you. If you choose to have prints made of your completed digital image, your original will be returned along with your printed photos. Should you choose to receive only the digital file, your original will be returned either by U. S. Postal Service Priority Mail, UPS, or FEDEX. We will send an invoice to reflect shipping and handling charges to be paid prior to sending your original. There is a $15.00 fee for shipping and handling.
