I hired David to digitize and retouch hundreds of childhood photos, and the end product exceeded my expectations. Preserving these memories was extremely important to me, and David handled the entire collection with great care and attention to detail. Throughout the project, he was personable, professional, and efficient in his communication, keeping me updated every step of the way. The restored digital files look fantastic, bringing original prints back to life while retaining their authentic feel. I recommend David to anyone seeking photo scanning and retouching expertise.

About Photo and restoration
I always work to please my customer and to create beautiful and relevant images that will accomplish precisely what my client requires. At the same time, I bring a wealth of experience, great technical knowledge and an unerring eye for being able to conceive of and create an attractive image out of an otherwise chaotic world. I like getting to meet new people, learning from them, and collaborating with them. Mostly, I just love the process of bringing beauty and unexpected visual excitement to people with my unique way of visualizing the subject at hand.
Reviews
David did a wonderful job with restoring an old family photo with a tear, and producing new prints. His pricing was reasonable, without sacrificing quality or timeliness. He was also great with communication and patient with questions and explanations. Definitely recommend!
Mr. Franklin is top notch in every aspect! He was always available or replied very quickly to any questions or concerns. Mr. Franklin has a passion and excellence in producing the highest quality work pieces. I’m totally satisfied with my photography restoration job and I’ll use him again in the future.
This was my first time using this app and I was thrilled with the quality of work and care taken in the digital restoration of my grandmother’s portrait photo from the 1940’s. I would definitely use him again!
David did an amazing job restoring a picture of my dad and I.
It was nice to meet David Franklin. He is very personable, with high professional standards and skills. I very much got my moneys worth!
Mr. Franklin's finished product(s) exceeded my expectations. He finished the project on time, in fact before the delivery date, a real accomplishment because he did significantly more work on the photos than initially anticipated. He also gave me an analysis of the composition of one of the images, over 100 years old, that was surprising and informative. Skilled, professional and a delight to interact with, I recommend David Franklin and his services without reservation.
We gave 2 5x7 prints to be colorized and enlarged to 8x10 of our mothers. The work and schedule was performed perfectly. I would recommend Mr. Franklin to anyone wanting to restore a precious picture. A++++
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Mr. Franklin and the service he provided for me. I noticed that the 35 year old baby photo of my first born son was fading away. Mr. Franklin used his incredible expertise to not only bring back the fading image but enhanced the photo. I am beyond impressed with the quality of the work as well as how personable Mr. Franklin is. I plan on having him restore another photo!
David was really good and was patient taking photos of my kid along with my parents and would recommend anyone to use his service
I loved working with David! Our pictures turned out so well. We had a very small wedding with our immediate friends and family and just wanted some pics of us and our loved ones. They turned out so nice. The photos look natural but well composed. David also went the extra mile to make sure they turned out beautifully. He was on time and was flexible with our location.
I’ve never had headshots done before booking with David so I was a little nervous about how the shoot would go. I can tell you David made it very easy to relax, he was very professional and welcoming. The process was relatively quick once everything was set up. I thought it was cool he allowed me to pic three pictures that he would edit himself no charge and let me tell you they turned out amazing! I am very happy with the work David and I did. I encourage you to book with David.
It was truly a pleasure to work with David. Since it was a big year for our family with an anniversary, graduations, etc. we wanted professional photos. David did a fantastic job advising us as to location, the best time of day for lighting, what to wear/not wear for the best looking pictures, etc. We were well prepared for the photo shoot and were able to capture some beautiful pictures. David is an absolute professional with integrity who takes his craft seriously because he genuinely wants his clients to be satisfied with his work. He was easy to work with, gave us great advice and information to insure that our pictures would come out great and they did. We would recommend David without reservation!
I gave David a photo of my mother. They only photo I have of my mother, the rest of the photos were lost in a fire. He took a badly damaged photo and worked magic with it .I was blown away with the finish work. Thank you, David for your professionalism. You do good work. I have my family going through their photo albums to try and find more. Thanks again, David.
We are so happy we chose David to do our family pictures! He was very patient with my young children and we love all of our photos! We will definitely hire him again!
We had graduation/engagement photos taken by David. The work was excellent. We have photos from three outdoor locations in a cold snow Michigan morning. Thanks to David, we had nice and smooth experience.
David came to our offices and shot portrait photos of all attorneys for our website. The quality was excellent and he went beyond the basic touch-ups. We couldn't be more pleased. I will call him in the future for any and all photos I would ever need.
Such a great experience! So thorough! From start to finish everything was amazing. Photos came back quickly and the edited photos looked amazing. So patient with the location and so nice to talk to through the whole experience!
Very professional, great images, punctual sharing of images and an extremely friendly guy. Hope I get a chance to work with David again!
