It's been a few years but over the course of several months I had brought in several 35mm slides, and maybe some negatives, to have photos made to send out to family members and friends of my dad after he had passed. LP did great work and had a quick turn around.

Extremely high quality work completed ahead of schedule and reasonably priced. I couldn’t be happier with this company. All of my photos have been scanned, one less thing to worry about during Hurricane season.

They restored a priceless picture of my grandfather who was killed in WWII. The copy was even better than the version that I dropped off. Everything was crisp and shiny and not blurred. I am very pleased.
