Horrors of Holding Memories on Film - Part 1: Got Kids?

The hard thing about any physical item?  It can be ruined in a flash!  Holding your memories on film is no different.  Today, we will discuss a scary occurrence that can happen to your priceless past if kept in photo and video form.  The following is a true story.

Got Kids?

I was going through my mom's old photos and found some really cool pictures of my grandparents.  I had set two photos aside in a pile of "most importance" to convert to digital, and walked away to complete some motherhood duties to my beautiful, innocent, perfect kids.  After getting some work done, I decided it was time to resume my project of going through my mom's old pictures.  I got to the doorway of the room where they were resting.  I see the prized photos from afar and I immediately feel terror run through my body.  I took a couple of steps closer to be sure if the fright I felt was warranted.  I was nauseous.  As I stood there, I saw pieces of my mother's pictures lying on my desk.  Torn.  My wonderful children were destroyers of the past.
Immediately, I took my photos to Larsen Digital to see if they could restore the damage that had been done.  I feel so lucky and grateful that they were able to digital fix the photos, and no appearance of rips, tears, or damage are prevalent.  Would this whole situation have been easier had I already converted my mom's film and photos to digital?  YES!  Would it have saved me money in the long run?  YES!  Was getting the photos restored, and converting them to digital worth it?  ABSOLUTELY YES!  Now that it is in digital form, no child can rip or tear it again.

Monday Makeover: Halloween Edition


All your precious memories deserve the royal treatment when it comes to bringing them back to life. Whether they are from a holiday, a birthday, or a treasured vacation, each piece of your film will stand out with our color correction services.

Our editing process occurs after your film has been scanned and converted to digital on our high quality equipment by trained PhotoShop experts.  While some images and files may require a little more help and time due to storage conditions or tragic mishaps, all memories are worth it.

Automated color and fade corrections are included in the price of your scan, but you can opt to spend a little more for a finer tuned, individualized editing option.  For those photos that have been innocently colored on, or film that has been ripped or is moldy, our restoration services are the route for you.  We have seen photos that have been crumpled, as well as those who want persons taken out of their photo, and we can do it all.  

Check out our different editing options depending on the state of your film.

Hiding Halloween Memories


We document the most important and special events with your cameras.  Whether it is a birthday, a holiday, a wedding, or a much needed family vacation, the moments that we want to cherish the most are the ones that we choose to capture with our film.  In earlier years, it used to be that film for cameras was so expensive to purchase and then to develop, that people could only afford to spend their frames wisely on momentous occasions.

Why then, are so many influential memories kept on film where they are degrading each day, when they could be preserved forever in a digital format?  

Often times we forget the joyous events that our film holds.  We forget the emotions we had on certain days, and we forget some of the activities done with those we love the most.  When you convert those priceless pieces to digital, re-living those moments is incredibly easy and also extremely convenient.  You have the opportunity to view your legacy anytime, anywhere.

Take care of your most prized possessions by converting them with the best.  Larsen Digital is a family run company who knows what it takes to make the most of your family's greatest moments.  Treating your film and photos with the care and respect they deserve, Larsen Digital guarantees that your past will come back to life and bring smiles to the faces of all who see your digital images and videos.
