Questions

What kinds of photos can you restore?

Black and white, sepia and faded color photos, with tears, creases, stains, scratches or blur. Wedding photos, portraits, soldiers in uniform and whole family groups are all welcome.

Do I have to send you the original?

No, your original stays safe with you. A phone picture of the print or a scan is all we need.

How do I take a good picture of an old photo?

Lay it flat near a window in daylight, turn off the flash, hold your phone straight above it and keep the whole photo in the picture. If it is in an album or a frame, take it out first if you can, to avoid glare.

What if my photo is badly damaged?

Please try it, seeing the result is free. We can repair a great deal, but we cannot bring back what the photo no longer shows. If a face is missing or very blurred, it may not look the way you remember.

Will it still look like them?

That is what we care about most. The faces, clothes and setting come from your photo, and a real person checks every picture before it is printed. If something is not right, write to us and we will make it right.

Can I keep it black and white?

Yes. Choose "Keep the original look" and the photo is repaired without adding color. You can try both and choose the one you love.

Can I add a name, a date or a verse?

Yes, if you wish. Once your restored photo is ready, type your words under it and you will see them on the picture. They are printed just as you type them, so please check the spelling.

What shape and size will my canvas be?

Your canvas takes the shape of your photo, so nothing important is cut away: wide, tall or square. You then see every size that fits, with its price, before you order.

Can I order one for each of my brothers and sisters?

Yes, and it costs less. Buy 2 and save 10%, buy 4 or more and save 20%. The saving is applied by itself.

How long does delivery take?

Most orders arrive in 6 to 12 business days: 2 to 4 to make your canvas, and 4 to 8 on the way. We ship to the United States and Canada, and we email you a tracking link when it ships.

I was so touched by the canvas I received. The details that were incorporated, the way my husband was sitting with Jesus, the way he was dressed in jeans with hiking boots… it took my breath away as this is how I see my husband in Heaven. Thank you. It’s a treasure and brings me much peace.

I am very happy with my Shepherd’s Walk - Personalized Canvas. The artist used a picture of me and my deceased husband standing in a field of blue flowers and combined it with an image of Jesus. The addition of the blueflowers in the foreground make it even more personal. I love this image because it shows that my husband is now with Jesus and that Jesus walks beside me every day.

I lost my sister to covid in 2020 and was in the middle of a very busy work season. Her children decided not to have her services until the following spring so I never really had the quiet time I needed to morn her passing. I love the canvas that was made with her in the arms of Jesus. She lived Christ and knew where she would go after this like. Seeing this canvas has made me so happy to know she is with Him and no longer in pain or suffering. Thank you so much for this amazing piece. I will cherish it for life.

It is uncanny how My Guardian Art took a photo of our son, with one leg due to Osteosarcoma, and have him walking with Jesus. He has both his legs and walks next to Jesus at the ocean’s shore. My husband was so touched and happy that he put the portrait on his chest of drawers rather than on the wall. Thank you for such an amazing gift!
