Photos, tapes, and memories stranded on media nothing can play.
Media and Memory Service problems are the kind of thing that is easy to live with and annoying every single day. You don’t have to.
We come to you, work out what’s actually going on, and fix it — then show you what we did, in plain English, so it makes sense afterwards.
What it costs
Published rates. We agree the price before we start.
VHS/VHS-C to digital — $25 per tape · $20 per tape for 10 or more.
Photo scanning — $1.50 per photo, $75 minimum.
The full catalog — keepsakes, restoration, preservation, and everything quoted — lives on the Memory Studio page.
Let’s get it sorted
Serving Midland, Saginaw & Bay City and the surrounding Mid-Michigan communities.
Photo rescue and restoration
Boxes of prints and tapes, and no machine that plays them
Tell us roughly what you have — photos, VHS, VHS-C — and we’ll send a written quote from the published per-item rates before any work starts.
One tote, forty years, no idea where to start
We go through the collection with you, sort it, and tell you plainly what’s worth doing and what it would cost — before you commit to anything.
The only photo of them is faded and creased
Fading, small tears, and light damage repaired per selected photo. Send what you have and we’ll quote it in writing before any work starts.
Assessments and preservation
Half the photograph is missing and it’s the half with the face
Severe damage, missing areas, colorization, and heavy reconstruction — quoted individually in writing, so you decide with the number in front of you.
The photos are stuck to the album pages and you’re afraid to pull
Don’t pull. We assess what can be separated safely and what shouldn’t be touched, and nothing happens without your explicit go-ahead.
Some of them might come apart safely — you’d like to know which
After an assessment, we attempt separation only on the photos we judge low-risk, only with your written go-ahead, at per-photo rates quoted first.
Keepsakes made to order
A whole family archive, and nobody has opened it in years
Organized, catalogued digital preservation of a mixed archive — $299 base for up to 10 GB, and any size beyond that confirmed with you before it’s charged.
Some memories should hang on a wall, not sit in a folder
A personalized keepsake plaque, sized and finished to a written quote from $199. Reserve with no payment — you approve the design proof and the final price before anything is made or charged.
