Digital Archiving of Your Own Old Photos
RILYA Photo Services is your best choice for preserving and protecting your family’s precious memories with our picture scanning service.
Are you like most people? Do you have boxes full of old family photos from the film days, just collecting dust in the basement or attic, or just sitting in an album not being looked at? Now is the time to have them digitized!
When we digitize your photos, you will have peace of mind that your precious memories have been preserved and protected from time, fire, water & moisture and natural disasters.
Are family members bugging you for copies of your photos and you don’t want to part with the originals? Let us archive your photos for you so you can share them with everyone!
When you get your photos digitized you will be able to view or store your photos on your computer. Email & share them with family and friends. Order reprints of your favourite photos from your favourite photo processing store. You will be able to have fun scrapbooking with the digital copies rather than cutting up your originals, and preserve & store your dvd archives in a safe place like your safety deposit box.
Old photos can be used for scrapbooking without worries when you let us archive them for you. OR, you can give the archive digital copies to your scrapbooking family to reprint and use instead of the original photo
Getting started is easy! Just give us a call to arrange your order, gather your photos and bring them to us, we will do the rest.

Preparing your Photos for Us
To archive your photos, they should be in a box, or rubbermaid container individually for us to access, not in photo albums. This will allow us to be faster and not have to remove them from sticky albums in order to scan them, and therefore eliminates the possibility of tearing.
You can chose to categorize your photos for a preferred scanning order per DVD if you wish. Some people like to sort their pictures by year, or black and white and colour photography, or by the individuals in the picture- of each child for example. Or just give us the box and well start from the top and work our way down.
Make sure your box of photos is labelled with your name, address, phone number and email address.
If you don’t want to remove your photos from the album due to it being time consuming for large orders, or if you have older photos in albums that are fragile and cannot be removed from the album, we have the technology to take photographs of the images right from the album and archive them for you in this way. The qualit is good, and done in a natural light setting to allow for the best quality. But, remember that this method is a photo of a photo. The quality is good, but scans are always better. Photographing photos is usually reserved for very old fragile photos that are in albums and risk being damaged for good if removed.
Photographing your photos directly in the album to preserve them is $0.50 an image plus $1.00 per DVD.
We understand that your photos are your precious memories, so we handle them as if they were our own, and with cotton gloves while working with them so no oils from our fingers get on the photos.
We only work on one client’s order at a time to ensure no mixups of photos, and as fast a turn around time as possible per client.
