“Em is professional, affordable, communicative, timely (especially for being a one person operation), & super talented!”
What customers say
My fiancé Alex and I had Em process and develop 8 rolls of film - had no idea what was on them or how old any of them were (besides a few we just used on our recent trip to Italy) We are so thrilled with the quality of the scans and the process in general was very easy and smooth.
Em is an incredible resource for those in the Fort Collins area who are interested in film photography. It feels so much better supporting a fellow local photographer and artist for all of my film developing needs than having to ship off my film elsewhere to be developed.
Em is so great to work with! We picked up an underwater disposable camera for our babymoon without a plan on how to get them developed. I searched extensively online and debated between a few companies where you send in your film to get it developed but I was hesitant.
Em has been nothing but great with developing the film I have brought in. The price is always great and quality is amazing. EM has taken the time to walk me through the process of developing film and the passion they have for the process just adds to the whole experience of getting film developed.
