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.

Maybe it’s one that makes everyone laugh.
Maybe it’s someone no longer here.
Maybe it’s just so unmistakably them, it’s become a kind of shorthand for your whole family.

We call these the “repeat favourites” – the photos that get talked about, passed around, printed for others, stuck to fridges, and pulled out of albums like old friends.

And if they’re looked at that often, they’re probably worth preserving properly.

If your favourite family photo is starting to fade, crack, or crease, we’d love to help you restore it so it lasts another lifetime.

Maybe not every photo needs restoring. But the ones we return to again and again?
Those are worth saving properly.

This is just for fun – a little photo challenge for the sharpest eyes out there and a nice way to show off what a difference detail can make!

We all understand the power a photograph can have to transport us back to moments filled with laughter, love, and nostalgia, and whilst black & white photos are fantastic, sometimes a vibrant colour photograph can make all the difference.

Here’s the before and after

The post Grenadier Guards Photo Saved! first appeared on Photographs Forever.

2020 has been a very unusual year in so many ways for all of us. One factor that has occurred to many of us is the importance of the family and close relationships as we have had time to reflect.

I will be moving to a smaller house soon and, as I have to get rid of quite a lot of ‘stuff’,  it has occurred to me that when I look around the house to decide what’s precious, there really is very little that I couldn’t live without. Except photographs. Photographs are one of the very few things that can’t be replaced and they are therefore possibly our most important and valuable possession.

Because we have all had more time on our hands than usual, photograph collections that have been overlooked for years have finally been finding the light of day and getting them scanned and either optimised or fully restored has enabled these very special photographs to be enjoyed so much more. 

So, if you haven’t checked out your own photograph collection yet, there is no better time than the cold dark winter months. Apart from anything else, it is actually a very enjoyable exercise. So make that diary note to do it. You’ll be glad you did.

I am now very excited to be able to offer you a top quality bespoke framing service. This means I can offer custom size prints, mounts and frames to show off your restored photographs in the best way possible so they can receive the attention and admiration they deserve.

The most popular moulding is the solid wood satin black or mahogany with single or double mounts.

I can also provide multi aperture frames – the one below is 20in x 16in with two landscape format 8in x 6in prints and two portrait format 5in x 7in prints. There are several multi aperture options available and the frames can be any size you choose. Heavier mouldings are available for larger sizes.

I can even show you what your photograph will look like before you order including all the relevant dimensions. This is particularly useful if you want a specific frame size to fit a specific space in your house.

Ann M was very happy with the result. She told me “My Mum’s picture has pride of place on the mantelpiece and is a great talking point for everyone who comes in!  My brother and sisters back in Ireland have been astounded and delighted with the copies I sent them. It has given us all so much happiness.”
