What customers say
This shop recently repaired a very old picture of my grandmother. The owner serviced me in a professional caring manner. I now have a picture of my Nonnie to pass on to my children and grandchildren. Many thanks to Giant Photo.
I came to this company last minute for help with enlargement of a picture of my dad for his funeral. They staff was quick and kind. Very communicative and helpful for a fair price. Thanks for making it easy when life was rough.
Brought in two family photos from the late 70s/early 80s that were scanned, digitally edited, and reprinted. Both turned out amazing. 5 Star all day.
I have had the best experience working with Tess at Giant Photo. As a new artist wanting to get fine art prints made of my work, I have been so pleased with my experience. She has been so patient and super helpful and offered great advice.
