Custom Photo Restoration & Laser Engraved Family Portrait
Some photographs are worth more than the paper they're printed on.
Turn a treasured family photograph into a handcrafted keepsake designed to be displayed for generations.
Send me an old, faded, damaged, or meaningful photograph and I will carefully prepare the image for laser engraving while focusing on preserving the people, expressions, and details that make the photograph special.
Your restored image is then permanently laser engraved onto a 12" × 16" solid black acrylic panel and displayed inside a handcrafted pine frame built and finished individually in the Custom Canela Crafts workshop.
MADE TO ORDER
Every portrait is created specifically from your photograph. This is not a printed photograph placed inside a store-bought frame — your photograph becomes the engraving itself.
PHOTO RESTORATION & PREPARATION
Depending on the condition of your photograph, I may be able to improve:
• Fading and low contrast
• Scratches, dust, and imperfections
• Minor damage and discoloration
• Poor lighting
• Distracting backgrounds
• Lost facial detail
• Older scanned photographs
Every photograph is different, and the final result will depend on the quality and condition of the original image.
CHOOSE YOUR HANDCRAFTED FRAME
Hand-Torched Pine + Osmo Finish
Each pine frame is individually torched by hand to bring out the natural grain and create a deeper, rustic appearance. The frame is then carefully sanded and finished with Osmo oil.
Natural Pine + Osmo Finish
For a lighter and more traditional appearance, the natural pine is carefully sanded and finished by hand with Osmo oil to enhance its warmth and natural grain.
Because genuine wood is used, every frame will have its own grain, color, and character.
SIZE
Laser Engraving: Approximately 12" × 16"
Finished Frame: Approximately 20–21" wide × 15–16" high
Final outside dimensions may vary slightly because each frame is individually handcrafted.
