Healing the Past…

I have this friend who is magic. No…really. She is.

She takes pictures like this—

J-3

And turns them into this.

Pretty magic, wouldn’t you say? Here’s one she did for my birthday last year.

From this…

JoEll is also offering–to Gracious Rain readers a 20% discount—during the month of July—on her already incredible prices—just be sure to mention this giveaway.

Need a heart-warming precious gift  to give to your spouse, parents, grandparents, or relative for Christmas, birthday, or anniversary?
Let me digitally restore your damaged photos and bring back to life that nostalgic image. I can digitally remove rips, tears, blemishes, soil, water damage, unwanted objects, and bring back missing pieces of backgrounds, clothing, hair, etc. I can enhance the image from sepia to black and white or bring the color back to the original (depending on the severity).
 
Email me your photo and what you want fixed and I will reply with a price quote. Minimum per photo is $20, more based on severity of damage and enhancements.
