Despite the fact that the original picture I provided her with was severely damaged to the point where other vendors declined the job, the quality of her work was exceptional. Additionally, the cost was very reasonable, and I was anticipating it to be much more expensive. Furthermore, she completed the task efficiently within a few days.

I cannot praise working with Sara Hertel enough as it was an entirely positive experience—something I rarely say! Preferring to write reviews of dissatisfaction, I reached out to Sara regarding the editing of over two hundred WWI era letter and photo images for a book. Without hesitation, Sara responded with confidence and eagerness to contribute to my project. Throughout the entire process, she maintained a high level of professionalism while offering helpful advice and kind words. She even worked on my project while on a trip, showcasing her dedication to timely completion. Sara went above and beyond what was expected, all while charging a significantly reasonable fee for her outstanding expertise. Above all, the finished product met and exceeded all of my expectations. ~Renee Oberdorf

Sara is a remarkable professional who successfully digitized a century's worth of family photos and portrait shots. We presented her with a dozen shoe boxes filled with the pictures and, within a week, received them back beautifully organised. Moreover, in just one to two weeks, we collected the zThumb-drive containing five to six copies, including those for our kids. This entire process was carried out seamlessly via drop off, phone, email, and text, making it ideal for COVID-19. In every aspect, Sara proved to be a delight to work with. She was friendly, thoughtful, professional, knowledgeable, capable, and highly organised, exceeding all of our expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend her without hesitation. We couldn't be happier with the outstanding results, which I would rate a perfect ten.

Sara proved to be a true gem. Unfortunately, our photographer backed out mere days before our wedding day. In a panic, I reached out to Sara and without hesitation, she saved our day and captured some truly special moments. Not only was her photography outstanding, but her company was equally enjoyable. Our experience with Sara was so delightful that we plan to enlist her again for our family photos. Thank you, Sara!
