What if my photos are in albums?

Loose photos are fastest and most affordable. Album removal or hand-scanning may add labor. Stuck photos and extra-large albums need an individual estimate. Dan confirms the cost before work begins.

A rough count is fine. You can still ask for a quote if you're unsure.

A few things you might be wondering.

Will I get my original photos back?

Yes. Your original photos, slides, and negatives are returned after scanning.

How long does scanning take?

Most projects take 5–10 days. Timing depends on the collection; shipping adds time for mail-in projects. Tell Dan if you have a particular date in mind.

Do I need to remove photos from albums?

Not before we talk. Don't force stuck or fragile photos off a page. Send a picture of the album so Dan can explain the safest approach and any extra handling cost.

How do I get the digital files?

Free cloud delivery provides a private download link, available for about a month. Download and back up your files. A USB drive is available for $20.

Can I drop off my photos?

Yes, by appointment at the Hamburg home studio. Text Dan to arrange a time or ask about pickup.
