Welcome to the family!

At Black Lab Imaging, we’re not just a business, we’re a community. A retro photographic artist community, to be exact, with a deep love for everything analogue. Our hearts beat to the click of a shutter and the countdown of a darkroom timer.

We’re experts in color and black and white film development, masters at restoring damaged photographs and preserving old memories by digitizing them. We’re even adept at developing and digitizing motion picture film. But our passion doesn’t end there. Need prints or digital scans from negatives? We’ve got you covered. Slide film to scan or develop? No problem.

Curious about the magic of the darkroom? Our traditional darkroom is ready for you to explore. We even provide classes in film development and printing, as well as in film and digital photography. Plus, if you’re in the market for vintage analogue photographic equipment, we might have just what you’re looking for.

Our team is our strength and our customers are our friends. Word of mouth is our legacy, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Feel free to drop by, get to know us, and become part of our retro photographic artist community.

By the way, the “Black Lab” you’re wondering about? His name was Fitz, a black lab, the best friend of our owner, Bob Heil. Fitz might be gone, but his memory lives on in every snap, click, and whir of our photo machines. 

Join us in celebrating the craft we love!

Yours in shutter speed and aperture,

The Black Lab Imaging Crew
