Protecting Your Restored History
Once we have completed your photo restoration in Halifax, the journey doesn't end there. Proper storage is vital to ensure these memories never fade again. We recommend keeping your new archival prints in a climate-controlled environment, away from direct UV sunlight and humidity—the two primary causes of photographic decay in Nova Scotia’s coastal climate.
Can all photos be saved? While most images with cracks, stains, or fading can be restored to near-original condition, the success of a restoration depends on the amount of remaining detail. Even if a face is partially missing, our advanced digital reconstruction techniques can often "rebuild" features by analyzing the surrounding data and lighting.
By choosing Moments in Time Photography, you are choosing a studio that understands the emotional weight of a single image. Whether it’s a 19th-century tintype or a 1970s color slide, we treat every piece of your family history with the respect it deserves.
Photo Scanning & Digitizing FAQ
How does volume print scanning work?
Volume scanning is for large collections of family prints. You drop off your prints in a box, we scan them all, and you receive your digital files. Pricing is based on the number of prints, so the more you bring, the lower the cost per print.
How do I prepare my prints for volume scanning?
Please place your prints in a box with the prints lined up by size and all facing the same direction. Sorting them this way helps us scan them quickly and keeps your price as low as possible.
What size prints can be scanned in a volume order?
Volume scanning is for prints no smaller than 2.5x3.5 inches and no larger than 8x12 inches. Larger prints can be scanned individually using our single print scanning prices.
Will my photos be scanned in order?
No. Prints are scanned in random order, so the digital files will not be in the same sequence as your prints.
How much does volume print scanning cost?
- Up to 50 prints: $38.99
- Up to 100 prints: $58.99, then $0.60 for each additional print
- 300 prints: $150.00, then $0.50 for each additional print
- 500 prints: $225.00, then $0.45 for each additional print
- 1,000 prints: $400.00, then $0.40 for each additional print
How much does it cost to scan a single print?
- Up to 8x12 inches: $7.50
- 10x13 to 12x18 inches: $25.00
- 16x20 inches: $40.00
- 16x24 inches: $60.00
- Larger than 16x24 inches: $75.00
Can you scan 35mm negatives and slides?
Yes. 35mm negatives and slides are digitized to JPG format for $5 each.
Is photo restoration included in scanning?
Scanning creates a digital copy of your photograph as it is today. If your photo is torn, creased, faded or water damaged and you would like it repaired, restoration is $25 per 15 minutes of work.

Preserving Your Family History in Halifax
At Moments in Time Photography Studio, we believe that every photograph is a piece of history. Since founding Moments in Time in 2005, we have helped hundreds of Halifax families rescue their most cherished memories from the effects of time. Photographs are inherently fragile; they are susceptible to light damage, humidity, and physical wear. Digitizing and restoring your family heirlooms now is the only way to ensure they don't degrade further and are lost forever.
Our Professional Restoration Process
Unlike basic automated filters or mobile apps that often "smudge" fine details, our restoration work is performed manually by hand. We utilize high-resolution scanning to capture every nuance of the original print. From there, we meticulously repair physical cracks, remove water spots, and eliminate "silvering" or mold damage. We perform expert color-balancing to return faded sepia or black-and-white tones to their original depth and clarity, treating your photo with the same care we would our own family legacy.
The Final Result
When the restoration is complete, you receive more than just a fixed image. We provide a high-resolution digital file that is safe from physical decay and easy to share with relatives across the globe. Additionally, we offer professional archival prints on museum-quality paper, ensuring that your restored memory can be framed and enjoyed in your home for another 100 years. Trust our Halifax studio to save your history today.
