Here are some of the emails that we received from clients in 2009.  They were very happy with our photo retouching and repair of damaged old photographs, and you will be too!

DISCLAIMER: These testimonials are generally representative of what our clients write, although many or most clients don’t comment either positively or negatively. Just a handful of clients have sent complaints. We did not provide any discounts, freebies or other incentives to the people who sent the praise shown below, and we do not request testimonials from our clients…but we are happy to receive them!

    Hi [daughter],
    Could you let the photo person you are working with know how much I appreciate the work he has done on the family picture. He does fabulous work and he has been so patient with  all  the change request. You don’t get to work with someone who gives such great customer service very often. The picture looks  fabulous, and I am amazed at his ability to get [another person] in the picture. Grandma was delighted when i told her [the missing person] be in the picture. I realize we have asked for lots of changes and  have really appreciated his willingness to work with us .
