Lauri was so great to work with. I brought my young kids with me, and she was so patient and understanding. She also made me feel so beautiful while taking my headshots. She took an experience I was dreading and made it wonderful!

Took an old photo of my grandfather that was so sun-faded you could barely tell what it was unless you knew. Lauri did an awesome job of restoring it. When it was time to pick up the product, she made it easy for my pregnant daughter with a toddler to do so. I highly recommend her.

Lauri Bridgeforth is amazing! I have been printing for over 30 years. I try to get all my clients to use a professional photographer, INSTEAD OF THERE IPHONE or etc.! I know how important it is for professional photos for your website, printing needs, your professional head shots and all your restoration needs! Also, she did my Family photos. Getting ready to do another head shot and a family photo. Would not use anyone else! I highly recommend Lauri! Thanks Lauri Bridgeforth for everything you do for my businesses.
