Film Processing
I process 35mm &120 color negative films. Each roll is carefully hand-processed. Your negatives are stored in archival protective sleeves and returned to you.
Scanning - Digital copies of your negatives
Scanning is done on my Epson V600. Scans are delivered in a personalized web gallery or via Google Drive. The high quality scans are perfect for sharing online as well as print sizes of up to 8x10. Please see scanning examples below.

mail-in orders
Difficult to get to Nanaimo? Fill out the form below, indicating in "special requests" you'd like to mail in your film. You'll get an email with invoice & lab mailing address and then simply pop your film in the post! I'll let you know when your film arrives and you can pay your invoice at that time.
Please include the following info in your package:
•Your Full Name
•Return address to send negs back to you
Return shipping will be reflected on your invoice (for one roll, return shipping is about $3). I can keep your negs for up to 1 month if you prefer to pick them up in person, please note this on the "special requests" part of the form below.

What Customers are saying...
Aviva is a godsend for anyone in the Central Vancouver Island area. She makes drop-off and billing very simple while keeping developing prices low. All my negatives from colour to black and white have come back as clean as possible. Further, her expansive knowledge on film photography is a unique trait you would be lucky to find. As someone that has used Aviva’s developing services for years, I highly recommend her.
-Marcus M.
The only lab I take my film to be developed is Aviva’s. She makes it quick and easy to drop off and pick up your film and is always friendly and accommodating! I’ve never been disappointed with her results.
-Cam S.
