About
Offering great attention to detail and critical eye for color, I handle and treat everyones vision as if it were my own. When I'm restoring antique photos and need to replace a piece of fabric, I research materials from that era for specific stitch, styles and coloring.
The ability to help someone recapture a memory once thought to be gone. The reward is the smile and the glory on their face.
Another service offered is Digital Scanning, where you can allow me to scan all your photos from memories past and/or present to keep in a medium that you can save forever without the worry of fading or getting damaged. However, if damage does occur well, that's when I restore.
Additionally, once scanned I can do overall/blanket cleanups or neutralization and contrast to old B&W photos which will put life back into them.
I am here to help you save or restore you precious moments.
Thanks,
Ron

Ron was terrific! He helped me digitize some photos taken of my grandchildren at an amusement park. Very nice person to deal with, very responsive and has fair pricing. Will not hesitate to use his services in the future.

Ron has an incredible talent and I am so glad I chose him to do my project! He's easy to work with and reasonably priced. My family was so impressed- tears came to my dad's eyes when he saw the finished product of a restoredphoto of his father's business front. My mother even commissioned Ron for several projects! I would recommend his services to anyone in need of photorestoration!

Ron is great to work with. He did a photorestoration of a great grandfather on my paternal side and he did a fantastic job on it. I look forward to use him for more photorestorations and scanning of many photos which are cherished.

Ron was very accommodating with our time line. Enlarging a small photo is not an easy feat but the outcome was "Divine." A spectacular job. I would highly recommend Ron without reservations & use his services again. I am sure my parents will be delighted with the restoration & enlargement of their photo.

Ron did an outstanding job on restoring a photo, which was sent to him by text. I was fine with his price, he was very professional and he had a sense of humor. I showed the before & after photos to others and they were amazed with his skills. Ron provides excellent service.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Not complicated at all, I know what companies charge for inferior quality and I try not to insult anyone so, I make it so it is affordable to my customer. I want to help so, I am very flexible with your budget.
It is very important to let me know the service you are looking for and be specific about the number of photos to either scan, retouch or restore.
I do accommodate those looking for "bulk" scanning as well, on average it's $1 per photo for scan, crop and deliver hi resolution imagery.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Chat via email until we are both happy with what I will be providing, meet at a location comfortable for both to exchange photos and discuss the end result. When complete, exchange original with new print and copy of image with payment.
For scans only it's the same process only the exchange will be a thumb drive unless it's a small enough amount, I can drop ship to your email address.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Yes, since I work for a High End "Boutique" Studio, I have all the latest updates and software at my disposal. I have been a color and retouching professional for over 30 years lending my skills to companies like Victoria's Secret and Harley Davidson
