As I've gotten older, I've taken my most favorites and kept them in a safe box specifically for storing photographs. When I learned Photoshop in 2006, one of the assignments was to restore an old photograph. I chose my favorite one of her, in a ball gown; it was faded into that awful magenta, so common with photographs from that era, mid-to-late 50s.
Keeping in mind that my grandmother already loved pinks and purples, I painstakingly painted in the wall colors and furniture, the embroidered sampler that my mom still has, and her gorgeous gown. It came to life! I remember calling her to find out the color of the flowers of the corsage, and a few other details. When I presented the photograph to her, in a sparkly, tiara-like frame, she cried, to see it so beautifully restored.
Since then, I've done a few here and there. I've had requests of taking snapshots of people who passed away, and retouching them for their celebrations of life, and had them printed as 16x20s on either canvas or metal. These pieces were especially displayed at these celebrations, so as you can see, turnaround is very quick for this kind of situation.
As it is a luxury service, my rates start at $39.95, and increase depending on the damage of the photograph, such as tears, stains, rips, etc. Please know that I take the utmost care to restore your favorite photographs to their beautiful, original state.
If you have a cherished photograph for which you'd love to have an estimate, please scan it, at 1200 ppi, and email it to meganmartineau6@gmail.com.
