Old Photos Come Back to Life

My mother asked me to frame this old photograph she acquired as a young adult.

It was given to her by her Austrian exchange family. So it was carefully rolled and carried to the USA from Germany and with it came some seriously sentimental feelings. Despite her insisting that I frame it “as is”, flaws and all, I had a better idea…

With a quick trip to Moon Photo Lab in Seattle, it was retouched and reprinted!

There are several printing options for “tone”, and they also offer digital copies and various sizes. Not only are the reprints crisp and fantastically detailed, but they can be reprinted with white borders, making framing and conservation easier.

These before and after photos are stunning! - MoonPhoto’s expertise is unmatched in Seattle; offering a variety of services (fine art prints, scanning, etc.) and all the guidance you need to make the best decision.

With a new photograph in hand there were a few more details to decide…a mat and frame to complete the presentation.

Framing the new image at Baas Framing Studio ensures it will be fully protected and last for a lifetime. Baas Framing offers a staggering variety of matting and glazing choices as well as more than 2,000 frames, to accommodate every aesthetic and budget.

The photo in all its icy white glory!

An ornate carved frame in subtle black helps give life and ambiance to the Austrian castle. A white mat against this photo was so much cleaner than the sepia-toned paper match that was the best option before with the original, stained photograph. All around, it was worth the extra step and mother agrees!
