My name is Robin Clark and I have a passion for restoring photographs that are a part of our history. I started my professional life when I joined the US Army in 1978 and was trained in photolithography at the Defense Mapping School (DMS) at Ft. It was at the DMS that I was introduced to the printing and graphics world. After a brief time in the private sector, I joined the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and enjoyed a 30 year career there. While at the CIA I learned a great deal about traditional and digital photography, I am now using those skills to bring the past to life and help you re-experience your families' history. I specialize in restoring photographs that are faded or damaged due to water, mold or years of neglect. I am particularly excited about colorizing photos -- bringing them back to life and making your ancestors more real to you. I also offer other digital photography solutions, such as scanning, color correction, photo organization, and photo presentations. Today's digital photographs are preserved electronically, but older images of the past are vulnerable to destruction through environmental events such as fires and floods. My services can help ensure your precious memories are protected. I work with digitally scanned images and take great care to protect and preserve your original images.

A young child poses for a playful studio portrait in Maine, likely around 1905 to 1915. The enormous flower trimmed hat, white outfit, bare feet, and carefully arranged pose give this photograph a wonderfully theatrical quality.

His parents are composed and ready for a formal portrait. He appears to have had another idea. That small grin gives this Gainesville photograph a completely different personality.

Long before Albert Einstein became one of the most recognizable figures in history, he was simply a five year old boy posing for a photograph. Taken in 1884, this remarkable childhood portrait has been restored, colorized, and brought to life, giving us a glimpse of Einstein decades before his groundbreaking work changed our understanding of the universe.

A graceful 1910s portrait from Phillipsburg, Kansas, showing a woman turned slightly away from the camera in a dress with elaborate lacework across the shoulders and sleeves. George A. Locke’s careful posing gives the image a quiet elegance.

Photographed by Wiley J. Ramsey in Gainesville, Georgia, likely during the 1920s, this baby was posed against a richly patterned studio covering with nothing else competing for attention.

This is one of those photographs where the setting matters almost as much as the people. Five family members gathered outside a Gainesville home, with different ages and relationships all contained in one frame.

A young child sits on the wooden steps of a Maine home beside a curious cat, likely around 1905 to 1915. The bonnet, simple white dress, worn steps, shutters, and relaxed outdoor setting make this feel like a quiet everyday moment rather than a formal portrait.

This is the third of four photographs I used to create the earlier panoramic view of this Massachusetts room. Taken in the early 1900s, this angle lets us look much more closely at the remarkable interior and all the details that can disappear when several photographs are combined into one view. The bookcases, framed artwork, furniture, lighting and decorative objects give us an extraordinary glimpse inside a home from more than a century ago.

A softly lit portrait from Phillipsburg, Kansas, showing a woman in a beaded dress and pendant necklace. George A. Locke’s studio lighting gives the image a gentle, almost modern quality despite its 1910s date.

Two men sit for a formal portrait in Michigan around the turn of the century. One holds a small book while the other rests his hat across his lap. Their clothing, posture, and serious expressions make this a wonderful example of studio portrait photography from the period.
