Simply send us the clearest photograph you have of your subject. For photo restoration, you can provide a digital scan (300 DPI recommended) or a flat, well-lit smartphone photo of your physical print. For memorial or custom portraits, send separate photos of each person and explain who you would like added or reunited.
HOW IT WORKS
How It Works
From Your Photo to a Carefully Crafted Result
We make preserving treasured memories simple and respectful. Our dedicated human artists handcraft every restoration and memorial portrait with close attention to lighting, shadows, and natural detail.
SIMPLE 3-STEP PROCESS
The Three-Step Journey
Here is exactly what happens from the moment you submit your photograph to the final delivered portrait.
01
Upload Your Photo
Send us your photo and tell us what you want — add a loved one, restore, or create artwork.

STEP 01
01 — Start With Your Photo
Every project starts with your image. You begin by selecting the service that matches your project on our Services page. You then provide your photo and describe what you want created — whether that means repairing tears on an antique heirloom, adding a departed parent into a modern family portrait, or blending multiple generations into one frame.

STEP 02
02 — Careful Handcrafted Editing
Once your project begins, our artists work manually in Photoshop stroke by stroke. We examine light angles, facial warmth, perspective, and shadows so that added loved ones look completely natural alongside family members. For damaged photographs, we reconstruct missing paper textures, repair deep scratches, and restore historically accurate colors while respecting the original integrity of the photograph.
STEP 03
03 — Review Your Result
After your portrait is created, you receive a digital proof to review. You can inspect every detail closely on your computer or mobile screen. If any nuance needs refinement — such as adjusting clothing tone, softening a shadow, or fine-tuning facial balance — you can request changes to ensure your portrait is a faithful and emotional heirloom ready for framing or printing.

HELPFUL GUIDANCE
How to Prepare Your Photo
Getting the best possible restoration or portrait starts with clear photo submission. Here are four practical guidelines:
✓
Choose the Clearest Available Image
If possible, scan physical photographs at 300 DPI or higher, or take a flat, glare-free smartphone photo in bright natural daylight.
✓
Tell Us What You Want Changed
Specify whether you need torn corners repaired, fading corrected, a person added, or an entire group portrait re-balanced.
✓
Provide Clear Source Photos for Additions
When adding a deceased loved one, submit clear reference pictures showing their face, smile, and natural head angle.
✓
Explain Details to Preserve
Tell us about specific eye colors, birthmarks, jewelry, military medals, or heirloom clothing nuances you want honored.
