Unlike automated restoration services, each photograph I restore is carefully repaired by hand to maintain the authenticity of the original image.
How much does photo restoration cost?
Historical family photographs are often priceless, and restoring them can be a meaningful investment. Because every photograph and every type of damage is different, the cost of restoration varies from one project to another.
Most restorations typically fall in the $30–$50 range.
Very simple repairs may cost as little as $10, while complex or time-consuming restorations may cost more.
I am always happy to provide a quote before any work begins.
What if I decide not to proceed after receiving a quote? If you decide not to move forward after receiving a quote, your photograph will be returned to you. I simply ask that you cover the cost of return shipping. (Sending an image by email avoids any shipping costs.)
Finished Files and Prints
Will I receive a digital file of the restored photo?
When the restoration is complete and payment has been received, you will receive a high-resolution digital file of the restored photograph. You are free to share the file or have prints made wherever you prefer.
If you would like, I can also have prints made for you through the professional photo lab I work with.
Shipping
A flat $15 shipping and handling fee covers the safe return of your original photographs and any prints ordered.

Payment
I accept checks by mail or PayPal.
When using PayPal, you do not need a PayPal account. I will send you an invoice that can be paid securely with a credit card.
A 5% fee is added for credit card payments to cover processing costs.
For new clients, payment is required before restoration work begins.
