Can't recommend this place enough. Professional, accommodating, competitive prices, high quality work. Each time I go they advise and consult on how best to make my pieces shine so it's a collaborative effort to produce the best result. They truly care about the customer. They also take great, professional headshots and great post-production editing work to make your headshot flawless.

I had a digital print converted to a 16" x 20" wrapped canvas for my boyfriend's birthday, and it came out absolutely perfect. Other stores I had spoken to estimated that their shops could have it done in 2-3 weeks - I emailed John on a Saturday and it was ready by the following Thursday (for a much more reasonable price than what the other shops quoted me). John is also extremely responsive via email; the only time I had to come into the store in person was when I picked it up. Everything was arranged painlessly online. Thank you so much!

I emailed John with my photos after hours on Sunday, and picked them up on Monday! They look beautiful, thanks to his tasteful edits. He also cropped them perfectly for the frames we already had. Next time, I'm buying the frames from him, though. Nice to have such a quality specialist nearby.
