Preserve Your Precious Memories, Right Here in Lethbridge

For over 40 years, I’ve been helping people in Lethbridge bring their cherished photo memories back to life with high-quality copy prints. Whether it’s making prints from old photos, slides, or negatives, all work is done in my secure, climate-controlled building, your originals never leave Lethbridge.

As time passes, more and more photographic memories are being lost, faded by time, or damaged by fire, smoke, or water. Too often, people realize the importance of those memories when it’s already too late.

Creating copy prints ensures your memories can be shared with family and preserved for generations. Our modern printing methods give you vibrant new prints that age much slower than the originals.

When you bring in a photo, slide, or negative, I scan it on-site with professional care. I always recommend saving the digital version to a USB stick, one small device can hold thousands of images and can be safely stored off-site or with a trusted family member.

Unlike many companies that now ship your valuable photos across the country or even overseas for processing, I handle everything here. Your images are scanned as soon as they arrive, and in many cases, you can take them home the same day. From retouching to printing or digital storage, it’s all done locally, by someone who cares about your memories as much as you do.

Let’s protect your photos before they’re gone. Visit me in Lethbridge and keep your memories safe, secure, and shareable.
