Your Memories – Perfectly Framed

13 January 2026

Sometimes one photo just isn’t enough. Multi-aperture frames let you display several meaningful images together in a single frame, creating a mini gallery on your wall. Whether it’s a series of special moments, siblings, or “then and now” comparisons, grouping your favourite photos this way brings your memories to life and makes each one feel even more connected.

After something different? Ask us about our floating frames!

It’s also a good moment to check the frames you already have. Over time, we see so many photos that have become stuck to the glass, warped by moisture, or damaged when the glass breaks.

Our frames are built to last, using shatter-resistant acrylic plates instead of traditional glass. They’re clearer, lighter, and far safer for preserving your precious photographs.

Sort the Photo Pile – And Frame or Canvas a Favourite

Posted by Richard Haines on

9 December 2025

Now the days have draw in and become quite short maybe it feels like the right moment to pause, sort, and bring treasured memories back into focus.

Perhaps now is the time to finally restore that photo you’ve been holding onto and give it the place it deserves in a frame or on canvas.

Can’t decide between a canvas print or a traditional framed print? Our floating frame canvas prints offer the best of both worlds. Your canvas sits within a frame so it appears to float, giving a subtle depth and modern feel. You can choose a a frame in black, white, or natural wood – an easy way to display your photos beautifully without committing to one style or the other.

It’s also a good moment to check the frames you already have. Photos pressed against glass can sometimes stick, fade, or become damaged over time – and the longer it goes, the trickier it can be to restore them fully.

Our frames are built to last, using shatter-resistant acrylic plates instead of traditional glass. They’re clearer, lighter, and far safer for preserving your precious photographs.

Sentimental Framed Photograph After Restoration

Posted by Richard Haines on

14 September 2016

I received this message from Irene after I has restored her photograph and I was quite touched –

“Thank you so much for your recent work which was excellent as usual. The photograph you restored fits beautifully into the frame and looks wonderful surrounded by a verse from one of my favourite songs. No apologies for the sentimental nature of the words! I’ve sent you a copy so you can see the end result.

There were some lovely surprises with the negatives. Some photographs I have never seen before and others have not been seen by the family for years. I have no idea who the people playing football are! I have included several of the photographs in my writing – which is nearly finished by the way.”

Always very gratifying to receive this kind of message.

8 Great Tips to Help You Make The Most of Your Photographs

Posted by Richard Haines on

1 September 2016

There is no better way to remember all the great times in life than through the photographs you have from the past, present and future. Previous generations have very few photographs compared with the number we have today. Photographs are so important yet they often remain locked inside our phones or packed away in a box.

So make the most of your photographs. Here are 8 tips….

Download the photos from your phone – either onto your computer or a cloud-based storage site such as MyKnowHowCloud.com where you can store all your photographs and any other important files.
Make prints and enlargements of the best photographs, frame them and get them out on display so you can enjoy them.
Photographs are a great way to remind you of good times that you’ve had and important events in your life.
Photographs are the best way to remember parents, grandparents and past generations. In many really old photographs the people in them often look very serious in formal poses in studios. These were sometimes the only photographs that existed and they have a special charm and look great when enlarged and framed.
Create a photo book of your favourite memories. Your photos are the record of your life so far. A photo book of your family life in pictures is a wonderful thing to have and will give you and others a huge amount of pleasure.
Taking photographs today is a fantastic way of spending time that costs virtually nothing. It’s creative, social and rewarding. We take as many photos each day now as in the first 74 years of photography. It’s important to remember to do something positive with the photos you take.
If they’re not right, fix them! With the fantastic technology available today virtually any photo that is is in some way not as good as you’d like it to be can be resolved with digital software. You can fix lots of elements yourself with free programs such as Google Picasa.
Use Photographs Forever as a resource for any advice you may need with your photographs. You can call me any time. It is my passion that you make the most of your photographs. Get them on display, and get them scanned so you have digital copies in case the original prints get lost or damaged. If they need improving either do it yourself or let me do it for you. Let there be photographs!

Make The Most of Your Restored Photograph – With a Framed Enlargement

Posted by Richard Haines on

14 July 2012

People often think that when they have a photograph restored, the finished restored print will only be the same size as the original. It’s true that it can be, but what is often overlooked is that after a photograph has been digitally restored, the finished image can be printed virtually any size. It can be printed smaller for a locket or a special frame and, more importantly, it can be enlarged to a size at which you can see the detail of the original photo.

Here’s an example…
Below is the print that I was given to work from, originally a good quality studio portrait and the only remaining print was this deteriorated one, which was about 4 inches x 3inches.
Compare the “before” print to the finished enlargement after I had restored the image and you can now see the original detail in all its glory….

If this was your grandma, what a great picture to frame and put on the wall for all to enjoy
