If You Want To Give The Ultimate Personal Gift You Need To Plan Ahead.

Start with your own collection of photos. Then look at photos your parents have,

ask your brothers and sister if they have any special photos that you may restore and copy. These type of gifts take time and planning. The person you give it to will know that. Be ready for those birthdays and anniversaries through the year, that are coming up sooner than you think. Any ordinary photo can be made special and given for whatever reason on any off season to lift someone's spirits.

When looking at photographs use your imagination on the possibilities to bring life back into tired old photos. E-mail us a photo and we can tell you if we could improve it. Look at our Photo Gallery Categories to see photos similar to what you have. You may a have photo that was not a great shot but could be cropped and fixed to look like a professional portrait

After fixing his collar and cropping it for a professional looking composition, we turned this 5x7 color photograph into black and white portrait by enlarging it to an 8 x 10

Decorating with photos is another custom gift option. How many times have you been attracted to a decorative frame and the photo you think of just will not fit the frame or is too damaged to want to display, never mind giving as a gift.

These are National holidays but don't forget those personal ones! Birthdays and Anniversaries.

February 14 - Valentines Day

Give Custom Memories

Valentine's day doesn't have to be about chocolate, roses and balloons, attach a sentimental photo! That says you planned ahead. The time to express your love to anyone you love, not only your romantic love. Don't forget your family.

Create a scrapbook with a theme thanking them for everything they do to show their love for you with photos throughout the year. If you don't have these photos start catching your loved ones doing the things you love about them, throughout the year and get busy scrapbooking for next Valentine's Day, birthday or Christmas.

Turn any photo into a puzzle. It comes in a little box in 30 pieces. As they begin put it together, watch their expression change as their sentimental photo appears before their eyes! Just think of a photo you have of your sweetheart that may have been damaged and you give it to them repaired. Or a small photo they liked so much and you had it enlarged and frame for them!

Buy a single or a double locket and have photos reduced to fit. See "Custom Gifts"

Decorating with Photos

So you fell in love with a picture frame and took it home only to find that the photo you thought might fit, did not. You have two options, take it back or come see us to fit everyone of the photos you wanted for your theme. Ever notice how nice the frame looks with the store photograph in it? and when you get home and put your photos in it, your not so in love any more? It's because none of your photos were made for that space. Next time you find a photograph frame to die for, go ahead and buy it and call us.

Chinese silk screen replica, front

If you thought about just cutting the original photo...think again. Not a good idea. What happens when the frame gets tired looking or you change your decorating theme? Never cut your originals, they should always be in an acid free environment. See more...on decorating with photos.

Photos to Video

We receive so many request for this service that it's worth saying...we do not provide this service. If you are interested in having your photos transferred onto CD or video, transferring your video to DVD or transferring an 8mm film to DVD you may want to try some of these below.

One stop shopping is not always a good idea. Restoration is all we do that's why we are the best. We only charge $2. per scan photos to CD. Some of these video people are big chain stores that do a great job with the video but not on the restoration. Restoration is our specialty. Did you know it is possible to get still shots from your old films? If you do manage to get still shots and they need restoration do call. They almost always need restoring.

would you like to see together?

These two Sisters enjoy this photograph today, taken from the two photographs, making it twice as special.

The image of mother behind them in the 1900s didn't have to be a quality photo. This one was cut out from a collage on poor paper, you can see part of one photo at the bottom. Since it was going to be faded out a bit anyway giving it a heavenly appearance.
