Based in Allerton Bywater near Leeds & Castleford — Drop off or post to us from 10p per photo
Struggling to find the photos you want?
Maybe you’d love to create a photo book for your family but need digital copies — or you only have one set of prints and several family members who want them.
Whatever your reason for scanning your photos, I am here to help.
I will guide you and make it easy, safe, and tress-free.
Your printed photos will be scanned at high resolution, so you can keep them safe, reprint them, or share them with family. I offer optional photo restoration and enhancements to bring old or faded images back to life.
I use professional photo scanning equipment to scan your photos. Our machines are regularly maintained and cleaned to provide the highest quality scans. We don't use AI for restorations as it can give un natural results.
The first 200 photos are charged at 20p each, and any photos beyond that are just 10p each.
For example:
300 photos = £40
500 photos = £60
1000 photos = £120
You'll only be charged for the number of photos I actually scan. As a guide, 1 inch of stacked photos = around 100 prints.
Message me on WhatsApp/text or through my contact page to get started.
For drop-offs:
Just get in touch to arrange a time to drop your photos off in Allerton Bywater. You will pay when you collect your scanned images and photos.
For postal orders:
Pop your photos in a well-packed, tracked parcel and send them to me . Once scanned, I will send you your scanned photos and an invoice. As soon as payment is received, your photos and USB (if ordered) will be returned via tracked and signed for post.
To get the best results and help me scan your photos efficiently:
Remove all photos from albums, frames, or sleeves
Make sure they’re clean, dry, and free from glue, tape, or staples
Group them into bundles of up to 50 per envelope or folder
Write a short folder name on each bundle (e.g. “Holidays 1992” or “Mum’s Birthday”)
You’ll get everything safely returned:
Your original photos returned in the condition they arrived. Where possible they will be in the same order but I use different machines so this can't be fully guaranteed.
Your scanned photos will be on your choice of download link or USB.
Most scanning jobs are ready within 7 days depending on how many photos you have
If you’re working to a deadline (like a birthday, anniversary, or funeral), just let me know I will always do my best to help.
I can only scan loose photos, so you’ll need to remove them from albums. If they are stuck please don't remove if it will cause damage
I want you to be completely happy. We scan the photo at high resolution and results will always depend on the quality of the original photo
If anything’s not right, I will re-scan for you or offer a refund on any photos you are not happy with.
One client had inherited several photo albums but no space to store them — and her siblings all wanted copies too.
She removed the photos and dropped off 1,000 photos. I scanned and sorted them into named folders, then saved the collection onto USBs for each sibling.
They uploaded everything to the cloud and, for the first time, their children saw photos of their great-grandparents and younger grandparents. One family member even made a new photo book, adding their own stories.
Too often, one person ends up with all the photos — and others lose that shared history.
Scanning might not sound exciting — but the impact lasts generations.
Samantha retrieved lots of family photos I had stored on old discs, as I no longer had access to a hard drive. I was able to drop these off and Samantha transferred them on to a memory stick for me in no time at all. It’s been great to be able to see these old photos once more and I’d recommend Samantha for a speedy and personal, service.
