What customers say
Great small business to support for film and development. I buy my Polaroid film here. I also recently got some disposable cameras to try. They were very helpful and kind. They have a book with example photos from each type of disposable camera to help you select the right one.
I absolutely love this film lab! It's hands down my favorite spot for developing my film rolls. The quality of their work is unmatched, and I'm always impressed with the results. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, making every visit a pleasure.
Was a little tricky to find with all the construction, but Im so glad I did. Dropped off two rolls of film to be developed and they emailed me a dropbox with scans within 7 business days. The pictures developed so beautifully, way beyond my expectations, and I will 100% be returning!
Ballard Film & Foto is the best! Each time I’ve dropped off a disposable the turn around time has been quicker than expected. I popped in today to see if they could do a quick print and Dogwood got it done right away! Everyone has been so kind and happy to help every time I’ve been in. Thanks Ballard Film & Foto crew!
