At first glance, it's just a portrait. The great-grandmother of one of our customers. Look a little closer, and it's a remarkable piece of history. Hand-finished portraits like this combine photography, craftsmanship, and artistry. Enlarged in our Summerfield studio and enhanced with pastel work, they can be displayed proudly in homes for generations.

Over the years, many of these portraits have suffered from water, insects, and time itself. We've restored thousands of them—carefully preserving not just the image, but the family story behind it.

Some photographs are more than pictures. They're heirlooms.

Not every photograph can be made perfect. But many can be made better. Time, light, and handling have a way of leaving their mark on old family photos. Sometimes, preserving a memory is less about perfection and more about giving it another chance.

If you have a photograph that's faded, damaged, or simply showing its age, give us a call. You might be surprised by what's still there.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "I brought a photo from 1937 to Bill and he did a spectacular job with restoring and enlarging the photo, revealing details that had been lost in the wallet-sized original. He included the hand-written inscription from the back of the photo on the restored and enlarged version, which made it all the more special. I highly recommend Bill for his conscientious care and creative eye! He is a master at his craft!" - Lindsay J., Google Review

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Bill did a wonderful job of both restoring a damaged 100+ year old convex photo back to its original condition and also producing a stunning new copy of it. From our first conversation it was clear how knowledgeable he is about this type of picture and photo restoration/printing in general, so I knew my family heirloom would be in good hands. He was in constant communication throughout the project- keeping me updated every step of the way, explaining what he was doing and seeking my input to ensure that the results were perfect. I had tried for years at local photo, art and antique businesses to find someone who knew about this type of photo and how to restore it but nobody did, so was relieved to come across Old Photo Specialists online and hopefully this review can help someone in a similar situation have a much faster search than I did." - David S., Google Review

Today, she's a daughter. One day, she may be a mother. Maybe even a grandmother. That's why we print precious memories on archival giclée paper designed to last for generations. Some moments are simply too important to fade.

Size doesn’t scare us. You only see my fingers holding this massive 22" × 96" water-damaged San Francisco skyline—but after two months of careful work, it became a flawless, full-size giclée print for our client in Idaho. From tiny to towering, we’ve got you covered. - Bill
