Review from Kath:
I was so happy to get a recommendation for Samantha's photo service after a request from family members for some old photos that included some that were taken before the invention of digital. I was saved hours of going through old albums, previously taking up valuable space and time, and some with poor quality. With little chance of re-printing them, it was brilliant to hand them over to Samantha, who returned them very professionally and promptly for quick and easier viewing on a stick, with some enhanced to a better quality. Wonderful to be able to also easily be able to forward to family and friends to enjoy the memories. The space saving by getting rid of old photo albums was an added bonus. I can highly recommend the service provided by Samantha. Kath
Review from Joanne:
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 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.
Questions?
Is this a real business or just someone doing it at home?
I run a small local business with a dedicated setup for scanning and organising printed photos. I am fully insured and registered for taxes. I work 2 days a week on this business and 3 days a week Bid Writing and teaching for local charities in Leeds.
I’ve scanned everything from faded baby photos to 100-year-old family portraits — and I take great care with every single one.
Yes, you could post your photos to one of the big scanning companies
But why risk putting them in the post and waiting weeks, when you can drop them off locally with me and have them ready in just a few days?
If you’re unsure, why not try me out first?
Just drop off 5 photos — I’ll scan them for free, no obligation.
You can see the quality for yourself and decide if this service is right for you.
Will my photos get lost or damaged?
I never post or outsource your photos, you drop them off with me, and I only take one job at a time to give it full attention.
Your originals are safely returned.
How do I know what you’ll actually give me back?
You’ll receive clear, high-quality digital scans, organised into folders — either on USB or via a secure download. I’m always happy to scan you 5 examples first for free if you’d like to see the results.
Can I trust you with my family photos?
I understand your concerns, these are your precious photos and you don’t know me.
I started this business after scanning my own family’s collection, so I know how important it is to treat every image with care and respect.
I’ve also worked in the charity sector for over five years, supporting older people across Leeds. If you search my name on Google, you’ll find articles about my past work so you can feel confident that you're dealing with someone trustworthy and local.
Why should I do this now?
Because photos fade, get lost, or stay tucked away in a drawer
And once they’re damaged, they’re often irreplaceable.
Because someone in your family would love to see them again,
even if they’ve never asked.
And because you’ll never regret preserving your memories
Only waiting too long to do it.
Once uploaded to a clound storage or hardrive you have a back up which you can share with others.
Isn’t this something I could do myself?
You could do it yourself — but it’s slow, fiddly, and time-consuming.
Most home scanners aren’t made for prints, and organising everything can quickly become overwhelming.
I scan your photos at 600 DPI, carefully name and organise the files, and save you hours of hassle and frustration.
If digitising your photos has been on your mind for a while, let me take care of it for you — so you can finally tick it off your list knowing it’s done properly, with care.
