As a child, Doug Mayer was always interested in photography. His family had their own dark room, and every Christmas morning his father would record the event using 8mm cameras and large, blinding lights. For his senior project in high school, Doug took color photographs, then developed and printed them himself. Customers of Fairview Photo, Doug and his wife Linda learned the business which was founded in the mid 1950s was for sale. They purchased the business in 2001, and have continued to build the company's reputation as one of the area's finest photographic services shops. We met with Doug recently, and listened as he outlined the services Fairview Photo offers;
Fairview Photo provides a wide range of photographic services. We offer photographic processing, digital and optical printing, multi-media presentations, DVD authoring, and video transfer services. For schools, organizations, churches, and day care centers, our ProEventPhoto service offers individual and class pictures that will provide cherished memories for years to come. Although we are primarily a wholesale lab, we also work directly with individuals needing our services.
As a photo finisher, we are one of the very few true black and white labs. We can optically enlarge all types of negatives, ranging from civil war glass plates to present day negatives. We provide very robust digital photo finishing and can produce prints in virtually any size from digital files. In addition, we also do re-touching and photograph restoration.
Not only do we print on normal photographic paper, we also print on non-traditional photo paper, canvas, water color paper, fine art paper, mouse pads, coffee mugs, and key chains. We can place your image on greeting cards, gift tags, and custom backgrounds, such as magazine covers, calendars, and trading cards. Your favorite photos can be printed on beautiful 20 x 30 pieces of canvas, suitable for mounting above your fireplace.
We offer video transfer services and can digitally transfer images from slides, prints, old movies, film, or artwork and make DVD videos. These are truly long lasting family legacies. For some people we've added their own verbal recollections to those DVDs.
Fairview Photo is a family owned and run business. We view quality as the most important part of our work, and take pride in the trust our customers place in us to preserve their fondest memories.
Fairview Photo specializes in creating lasting family legacies. Call or stop by Fairview Photo today, and don't forget to tell them The Advocate sent you!
