ABOUT US

Custom Photo & Framing / Photo Lab Boca Raton

Our success as a business is a result of our evolution, which began with world-renowned panoramic photographer Peter Lorber printing his super-sized fine art prints in a self-built warehouse darkroom. Encouraged by fellow photographers who were disappointed with the printing quality of local labs and awed by the beauty of Peter's prints, Peter and his wife Addie, who was a teacher at the time, decided to open Custom Photo Images, a professional photo lab, in Boca Raton in September 1991.

 

Soon after opening, Courtenay Gilbert, a photographer, printer, and designer, joined the team and became Peter's creative partner. As the business grew, we added custom framing to our services. With Courtenay's keen eye for design and our expert framers, we provide our clients with the perfect custom frame for their specific needs and budget. We also offer special pricing for artists and designers.

 

Over the years, Custom Photo Images has continued to evolve. What started as a darkroom and film processing operation has become a full-service digital lab, photography studio, and in-house custom framing.

 

Peter, Addie, and Courtenay work as a tight-knit group and strive to provide our customers with beautiful images, the highest quality products, and professional service.
