        Overall
        Professionalism

        As an archivist, I hired PhotoArts several times to digitize and conserve photographs and audiotapes. Knowing that they had the highest credentials and a great deal of experience coupled with a love for their work and pursuit of excellence made it easy for me to trust them with our valuable materials. Their reasonable rates and nearby location were great bonuses.

        As a photographer, I hired PhotoArts to make archival-quality prints of my digital work. Finally, I found someone to print my work the way I like it! After the first time they did prints for me, there was no question that they'd be the ones to print more of my work when the need arose again recently.

        In short, I would recommend PhotoArts with no reservation whatsoever. If you want it done correctly and with care, this is who you want to hire.
