Kelly McLendon has been a local in Las Vegas since 2005. Originally from Panama City Beach, Florida, she discovered photography in high school where she got her first job working as a framer and printer for a local photo store. After graduating high school she went on to get your Bachelor’s in Fine Art Photography at University of Florida. Shortly afterward Kelly moved to San Francisco, CA where she spent 10 years expanding her knowledge and skills in the photographic industry. After spending 6 months in Natal, Brazil on an independent photographic assignment, she found her way to Las Vegas as a product photographer for Upper Deck Sports Memorabilia. Today Kelly works as a freelance photographer and restoration specialist in Las Vegas, NV. Her love of old photographs and the desire to help people preserve their family history was renewed when she met Suann in Las Vegas.

Suann Lester is an "almost native" Las Vegan. Her initial interest in High School Photography continued into college where she completed her Bachelor's degree in Art. She enjoys the combination of technical and creative aspects that is a basic component of photography . Meeting Kelly several years ago rekindled the desire to build from her existing skills and interests. A shoebox of old family photographs prompted her to begin the discussion with Kelly regarding development of a business venture.

We are confident in our ability to restore your photos to their original quality or better.
