ABOUT US
Custom Photo & Framing / Photo Lab Boca Raton
Custom Photo Images began in September 1991 as a professional photo lab dedicated to producing exceptional fine art prints and high-quality photographic services in Boca Raton. The company quickly earned a reputation for outstanding craftsmanship, attention to detail, and personalized customer service.
In 1992, Courtenay Gilbert joined the business, bringing her expertise as a professional photographer, printer, and designer. Under her creative direction, the company expanded to include custom framing services, offering clients beautifully designed frames tailored to their individual style, needs, and budget. Special pricing has long been available for artists and designers.
Over the years, Custom Photo Images evolved from a traditional darkroom and film processing operation into a full-service digital lab, photography studio, and in-house custom framing shop. In 2022, the company was rebranded as “Custom Photo and Framing” to better reflect its wide range of creative services.

OUR TEAM

As a professional photographer, printer, designer, and custom framer, her expertise in photography, printing, color correction, framing, and design has earned her a reputation for exceptional quality and artistry. Her fine art photography has been published, exhibited, and collected internationally.
With decades of experience and a passion for creativity and innovation, Courtenay continues to lead the company with an artistic eye and commitment to excellence.
