We are excited and honored to bring another great photo restoration story your way! This is the story of our client Joe Schmidt’s dad Albert Leroy Schmidt. Joe brought in these two photos of his dad that were a little faded and one was in a frame. He was looking to have them restored and some copies made for other family members and the results are fantastic, but the stories are even better! These are quite meaningful for us […]
We love restoring old photos that people bring us – the stories we learn and being able to give them new life when we bring back the detail in a faded memory is just so rewarding! This one was no exception. When Diane brought this incredible 1922 photo (she’s pretty sure it was either ’22 or ’23) which included her dad and grandparents we were mesmerized. What a photo! But it was 100 years old and fading fast… […]
Photo Restoration is one of our favorite things to do – to help people restore and reclaim their history! We also like the stories behind the photos we get to restore, and in this case Jason shared some background on the photo he sent us of his grandparents which was pretty badly damaged. Jason (aka @LionCrownz) found us by tuning in to our Periscope broadcasts and you can join in on the fun there as well by following us at […]

Lisa was referred to us by a mutual photographer friend Heather in Georgia who saw us discussing photo restoration on Periscope. That’s part of the beauty of this […]
I have always had a keen interest in history on many levels. In addition to my own personal interest in reading books and visiting historical sites I’ve tried to find ways to incorporate history into Frameable Faces. Not only are we capturing moments and preserving them forever when we photograph our clients, I have blogged about historical photos of American Presidents, I’ve dabbled with my Life Preservers idea on and off to do interviews with people about their personal […]
Sometimes photo restoration can be just as rewarding as creating a new photo. Mike is a client who brought in an incredible photo that was damaged, creased and tattered to see if we could fix it. You can see the results below and after learning that this was what Mike called home while serving our country in Vietnam we can only imagine what this photo means to him. Actually I’m sure that most of us cannot imagine it, but you can […]
