The prices are comparable to other speciality art stores and the fact that I'm supporting a local shop is super important to me! Allard's also offers classes and there's usually student art on display to show off what students are learning!

Location: Milne Photography Date: July 31st, 2025…read moreService: High School Portraits It's the time of year in the Central Valley area for school yearbook and portraits. I received email notification weeks ago it's time to schedule my child for school portraits. Once we arrived we checked in the book and we were greeted immediately. We informed the staff my child is special needs with ADD and ADHD. They were able to accommodate and give him step by step instructions during the 15 minute photo session which we appreciated as a family. We paid online in advance for the scheduled session and at the session is when you actually purchase the photo packages range from A to C. The photo packages value prices are very reasonable for the area. We bought our own tie and suit jacket for the session. They offer a wide selection of poses and pictures for you to choose from. Overall the session was very enjoyable and fast especially when you have a child photo session. We strongly recommend you check out or schedule your next photo session for family, school, business or etc.

Would Never Recommend We scheduled a large family photo…read moresession with Milne Photography this past July because our father, who is in his late 70s, wanted one last professional photo with the entire family. This was a very meaningful occasion for us -- and unfortunately, the entire experience was terrible from start to finish. After spending over $2,000, we expected professionalism and care. Instead, we got weeks of delays and excuses. Our photos weren't ready until mid-October, nearly three months later, because (as we were told) they were "behind with senior photos." It was clear that our family wasn't a priority -- unless you're a high school senior, you're put on the back burner here. To make matters worse, after being told our photos would be ready by Friday afternoon, we got a call from Heidi at 3 p.m. saying they still weren't ready and we'd need to come back Monday morning. It really felt like they just wanted to leave early rather than finish our order as promised. Then came another disappointment: we were charged over $200 for facial retouching on a few of the grandkids, and the edits looked unnatural and distorted. When we finally received our photos, the faces looked off -- not something you'd proudly frame after spending thousands of dollars. Lastly, we were told that, given the size of our purchase, we'd have access to a digital album with all of the photos taken during our session. That turned out to be false -- they only shared seven photos of their choosing, and some of the photos we actually ordered weren't even included. Overall, our experience was deeply disappointing. This was supposed to be a cherished family memory, and instead it was a frustrating ordeal. If you're not a high school senior, don't expect to be treated like a priority here. We will never use Milne Photography again.

Knowing nothing about framing or the Modesto area I spent a lot of time on Google/Yelp reading reviews of large chain stores, I found Norm's Frame Shop on the list and the reviews raves about his extensive knowledge and attention to detail. On my first visit, Norm was extremely welcoming and not pretentious about his work- he explained to me what he thought I needed and how he would choose materials that would ensure the longevity of my documents. He was extremely communicative and found ways to work within my budget. Norm is such a great business man, who cares a lot about his work and about his customers. We never were able to finish my second diploma because time got away from me and I was moved to Memphis for work. Still, Norm shares notes with me to give to my next framer so they can complete the Job. I don't know if I'll find another framer as good as Norm, but I'm so happy I own one of his pieces.

He ended up doing way more than I expected. He not only repaired the frame, but he also hand painted the frame and gold trim. He put new paper on the back and new hangars and wire.

So I did a tribute poem and screenshot a picture and had it matted and framed. It is absolutely PERFECT! It's honestly as if Mr. Reeves knew my friend and her sweet little dog. If Mr. Brooks was still around and in business the competition would be fierce! There aren't many artisans in this line of work who can read a project with such finesse. Believe me, as I've had a lot of items framed. I do miss Cornwall's, but thanks to Mr. Reeves I will definitely return to Reeves Frames. And a special thanks for the marvelous job! Please note: I had to choose 3 business categories for this business (and the choices were bleak to say the least) as far as I know, he does not restore art.
