Introduction: My combination study of fine art, graphic design, and Photoshop has given me a unique ability to understand and visualize excellence in my work with each photo. I am Adobe Certified in Photoshop CS4. So that your precious and irreplaceable photographs never leave your possession, I can travel to your home and take digital pictures to work from and give you a cost on the project. I then provide you with a digital copy to put on your computer for reference and to make prints from at your convenience. Or, you can scan and email me your photo, and I will tell you what I can do for what cost. With clients I have met, I like seeing the smiles on their faces as they see their precious photos brought back to new life.

Melissa was patient and very easy to work with. She restored my father's old class photo from 1946, that had a few large cracks down the middle. Since the photo is a 'priceless' item, I would say that the ratio of value to service is high. I will definitely use her services the next time I need some restoration!

I am so pleased with the finished product. The picture I had restored was our wedding picture which was 54 years old. It was faded from the sun and age and I didn't think it could ever be saved. After I received the picture I couldn't believe how clear and colorful it was again. It was like the picture had been taken a week ago. I would recommend Melissa and will definitely use her again if the need arises.

I have been using Melissa Worthen’s services for the past few months as I’ve been having her restore a number of very old photos in black and white and sepia tones. I am thrilled with the quality of the restored work and plan to use her services and more old photos are sent to me. There was one family group photo taken in 1912 at a family picnic and it’s a treasured classic photo. The original was in sepia with some color added to the trees in the background which looked very fake. I asked Melissa if she would restore the photo then color it but it would need to look authentic. I think she researched the clothing of that era because the end result is excellent. She has done a wonderful job of colorizing the clothing to make it look very authentic for that era. It looks like it is a real colored photograph and it will be a treasure to our family. When I took the photo to have it printed up for enlarging and framing the printer commented on the excellent quality of the print and color. Also the framer commented on what a beautiful picture it is. I was delighted as the printed version is even better than it looks on the computer. I am very excited to see the finished work when it is finished at the framers next week. I would recommend Melissa highly. Thank you Melissa My sister Jan Molloy brought with her on her latest trip to New Zealandthe photo you restored for her. That photo, almost exactly 100 years old, included our great grandfather and great grandmother, whom none of us had never met - with the sole exception of our 91 year old Mother. It also included our very beloved grandfather, whom we knew very well, albeit far too breifly, along with his brothers and sisters. It has enormous sentimental value for us, as we treasure our heritage and legacy greatly. We found the original tucked away in the home of a somewhat difficult relative. I had a small portable document scanner with me and took the best image I could of what was a small black and white photo. The photo was then whisked away and is in all probability inaccessible to us for some time, perhaps forever. So to see the miracle you had wrought from such a poor platform was a stunning surprise. It was the prize exhibit at our family reunion a week or so back, when almost 100 descendants of the grand old man in the photo gathered to celebrate family and Christmas. And that beautifully framed copy now sits on the wall in our darling Mother’s home. I get a thrill every time I see it. The quality of your craftwork is outstanding. I have no hesitation in recommending you to any future clients. Feel free to quote me in your advertising, on your website, wherever. Thank you from the very depths of our hearts. Paul Molloy
