Photo Restoration & Animation Services

Preserve the photos that matter most.

Old photographs hold more than faces. They hold stories, voices, and memories that deserve to last.

I specialize in restoring aged, damaged, or faded photos and carefully enhancing them for modern use. Whether your image lives in a shoebox, an album, or a frame on the wall, I treat every photo with patience, respect, and attention to detail.

This is not one-click automation. Every image is thoughtfully restored by hand.

Photo Restoration

I repair and revive old photographs while preserving their original character.

Restoration services may include:

• Repairing scratches, tears, stains, and creases

• Correcting faded or yellowed colour

• Improving clarity and sharpness

• Rebuilding missing or damaged areas

• Maintaining natural skin tones and expressions

Each photo is assessed individually. You’ll receive a restored digital image that still feels authentic to the original.

Print-Ready Resolution Enhancement

Many older photos were never meant to be printed large. I can carefully increase resolution so your image is suitable for professional printing.

Perfect for:

• Framed wall prints

• Memorial boards

• Photo books and albums

• Canvas or large-format prints

Your final file will be optimized for crisp, clean printing without harsh sharpening or artificial-looking detail.

Photo Animation

For clients who want something truly special, I offer gentle photo animation.

This service brings subtle life to a still image, such as:

• A soft blink

• A gentle smile

• Natural, minimal movement

Animations are designed to feel respectful and realistic, never exaggerated or cartoonish. This option is especially meaningful for memorials, gifts, and family keepsakes.

A Thoughtful Approach

I understand these images are often irreplaceable. Many belong to parents, grandparents, or loved ones who are no longer with us.

My goal is simple:
To preserve your photo’s history while helping it live on beautifully.

If you have a photo you’d like restored or brought to life, I’d love to help.
