Michael VaughAn photo restoration and photography

Before you throw out unfixable photos call or text me first. For over 25 years I have restored literally thousands of photos, slides, negatives, Tintypes, and artwork. Whether stuck to glass, cracked emulsion and tears, liquid stains, sun damage, missing and torn pieces, I produce your best image possible for a restored print.
