I’ve worked with Sophie since 2003. She is creative and intelligent. Her graphics abilities and design experience are excellent. She has developed graphic processes that had not previously existed at our company. Her design and creation of our firm’s website have been outstanding. What I found most exceptional was her ability to keep a cool head under extreme pressure. Additionally, you will find her to be pleasant, hard-working, and a reliable person.

About Us

Who We Are aboutus
Green Couch Studio is a photo restoration and freelance graphic design group located in Vancouver, Washington (just minutes from Portland, Oregon.)

We’re a husband-and-wife team by the names of Sophie and Todd. Sophie is the photo restoration and design guru (that’s me), while Todd specializes in photography. We love what we do. So you can be confident that every project is whipped up with a pinch of love, a dash of enthusiasm, and a sprinkle of fun.

How We Started
Our business started as a gift to my mother. Using our background in graphic design, we meticulously restored an irreplacable childhood photo. After being floored by the final product, she spread the word to her friends and family. And then to their friends and family.

So we started Green Couch Studio as a way to combine our love of history, antiques, family, and great design. It’s our goal to provide the kind of service your mamma would be proud of. That means we’re not satisfied until you’re satisfied. When you put your project in our hands, we handle it with care… as if it were our own.

So Why a Green Couch?
Green Couch Studio is named after our favorite (you guessed it) green couch, which currently sits in our living room. We felt it represented us well: it’s comfortable, cheerful, and dependable.

Do you provide photo restoration, or reconstruction?
Although what we do is commonly referred to as ‘restoration’ we do not alter your original piece in any way. Our all-digital process begins by making a high-resolution scan of your piece, followed by corrections using computer software, and finishes by printing out the new ‘restored’ image - delivering both it and the untouched original to you. (Click here to see our photo restoration process.)
