Digial Imaging Services

Background Info

Photo of Laura

I was a portrait photographer, digital imaging specialist, and IT specialist for Studio 23 in Marlboro, MA for 13 years, before the store shut it's doors in 2008.  During that time, I photographed and retouched thousands of photos.  I also provided imaging services such as restoring old and damaged photos, designing custom greeting cards, business cards, and photo collages.  I am currently offering those services on a freelance basis as outlined below.

 I can be contacted at digitalphoto@fishgirl.com with any requests and/or questions about my services.  Thank You.

Touch Up

Laura is still offering touch up at the same prices as she did at Photo Express - Studio 23 as listed below.  If you would like your order shipped on a CD, there is also a $5 shipping and handling charge per CD.  For smaller orders FTP is available for free ( I upload your finished file(s) to the web, you download them to your computer).
Basic touch up = $10 per file or negative
Basic touch up includes light to moderate blemishes, scratches, bruises, stray hairs, loose threads or lint.

Beyond basic touch up = $30 per hour with estimate before work is started
Beyond basic touch up includes things like severe acne or blemishes, adjusting tooth color, removing tan lines, and head/face switches.

Copies of work from Photo Express

Most digital services, including retouching, restorations, business cards, and custom cards were archived onto CDs before the store closed, and can be purchased through Laura, digitalphoto@fishgirl.com. Depending on the number and size of files there are two options for purchasing them.

The charge to FTP up to 10 meg of files (approx.1-4) is $15.
