My Mom passed away in January, 2018. Preparing for the funeral services, I had an original, beautiful picture of her that belonged to her Mom which is about 60 years old that had some water damage that I needed retouching to display at the services. I came to the Southgate Shopping Center and visited Thomas Photogenic on 1/13/18. I explained what I needed and the business owners were very friendly with me and told me that the picture was still in good shape. They were very gentle and able to remove the original picture covered in plastic and taped on the backside and suggested I go next door to Art Corner where they could frame it. I thanked them and went next door to Art Corner.
I walk in with the picture and met Pam, the owner. She took special care with the picture and complimented how beautiful the picture was. They were able to make a scan of the picture to save and touch up the original picture. She showed me a frame that looked antique and when I put frame with the picture, it looked like it would work nicely. So, Pam went in the back to work on putting the picture in the frame to secure it. When she finished and brought it out from the workroom in the back, I started crying because it looked so beautiful together. She hugged me like I was family and told me this is what makes her job worthwhile. I thanked her many times.
In December, 2018, I came back to Art Corner to get a scanned copy of the picture of my late Mom made for my sister and a copy framed to give to my grandmother as a surprise. She's in a nursing home now and thought all of her belongings in her apartment were disposed of. When I walked in, I was greeted by Ryan and Stephanie who both were pleasant to work with. They explained that Pam had sold the business and that they were the owners now. Both of them worked hard to give me what I wanted at a more than fair price. I picked the same frame as the original picture is in, it had to be ordered which took several days to come in. They are so customer service oriented that Stephanie came in on Christmas Eve to meet me to pick up my order as both were Christmas gifts. How rare & awesome is that?
This review is long overdue but I am happy to share about this outstanding business. Trust them, they know what they are doing and care about their craft and product.
Thank you Art Corner, I smile every time I see your name and you have made so many of my family happy, including in the heavens. A+++! read more
