Why I Started Photo Doctor
When God Closes a Door, He Opens a Window
My name is Renee Dubuc. Meet my grandmother, Lucia (above). When she passed in October 2022, we wanted to use a beautiful portrait of her from the 1950s for her obituary photo. The glass in the frame broke long ago, and the photo fell victim to a small child with a blue pen, plus stuck-on dust, scratches, and UV damage. Zoom in on the left photo above to see the damage. I was not about to let that blue pen tarnish Mimi Lucy's legacy.
I cleaned up the photo in Photoshop and handed out glossy 5x7 copies to all my family members at the funeral. They were all touched by the love and care I put into her portrait.
Fast-forward to November 2023: My aunt's mother, Elaine passed. Aunty Cathy knew just who to ask for help with the photos! I scanned 200 photos and restored four severely damaged photos from the 1940s. I digitally repaired the scratches, tears, creases, and water damage and reprinted the photos.
Everyone at her funeral was amazed that I was able to save our precious family photographs so quickly. To this day, the water-damaged photo of Nana Elaine featured below is my one of my proudest restorations.
I was unemployed at this time, plus I enjoyed the labor of love. I decided to capitalize on this skill, and Photo Doctor was born.
