Hello, all! This is Picture the Past's new owner and operator, Elijah Davis.

Operations are up and running after a smooth transition, and we're starting the week strong with some new ink, deliveries, and a few 13x19 prints for our photographer friends!

We're caught up on past projects and ready to tackle some more scans, prints, restorations, and VHS digitizations!

And check out our parent brand https://www.vitromedialab.com/ for all of your digital needs!

Where Memories Come Alive ✨

Those old slides, VHS tapes, audio recordings, and photo albums are more than just things in a box. They’re laughter, adventures, family moments, and stories that deserve to be seen again.

We help bring them back to life. Slide scanning starts at $1 per slide (volume discounts at 30+), and in many cases, we can even digitize and print while you wait. Need a slide viewer? We’ve got a few you can borrow or buy while you’re here.

Bring in your memories, and leave with them alive, visible, and ready to enjoy.
