Film Processing

Why Boutique Film Lab?

Boutique Film Lab is a full-service film lab dedicated to the preservation of analog photography. We provide a high-quality service at an affordable cost, giving everyone an opportunity to create on an analog medium. While the convenience of the digital world is nice, we want everyone to experience the joy of shooting with film.

Professional Film Processing Services

For our premium scanning services, we provide post-processing correction for color, density, and contrast for just about any type of film from 35mm, 120, 220, 110, 126, 4×5, and even rare formats such as XPAN, Disc film, and APS. We offer C-41 processing, B&W processing, and E6 & ECN-2 processing.

Basic scanning includes in-scanner adjustments only, but premium scans include post-scan processing (final corrections for color, density, and contrast). We utilize different developers depending on the type of processing (for C-41 we exclusively use Kodak Flexicolor chemistry and for B&W we typically use Kodak HC-110; however, other developers are available upon request). We also offer push and pull services at no extra charge.

Being the small boutique shop that we are, we take a personalized approach to every order and treat it as if it were our own. The end result is fully edited images (corrected for final color, density, and contrast) that are ready for you to enjoy or deliver to your client.

C-41 Premium Scans

Our C-41 premium scans include in-scanner adjustments and post-processing corrections These corrections include corrections for final density, color, and contrast. The end result is a fully edited image ready for printing and proofing.

C-41 Basic Scans

C-41 basic scans are ideal for photographers who want full control of the editing process. Basic scans include in-scanner adjustments only, additional post-processing correction such as color, toning, and density may be needed to achieve a finished product.

Black & White Scans

All B&W scans include additional post-processing for final tone curves, contrast, and removal of dust as needed. All of our B&W film is developed in a leader-card processor using Ilfotec RT developer, producing what we believe to be the best results for tonal range and control of the grain structure (other developers; D76, XTOL, and ID-11 available upon request).

E-6

E6 film, also called “slide film”, is the process for developing Ektachrome, Fujichrome, and other color reversal (slide) photographic film. Characteristics of slide film are that it is typically bright in color, has vivid saturation, and clarity. E-6 is the standard process for color reversal (slide) film, while C-41 is the standard processing for color negative (print) film. Although the end result for both is colored photos, the coloring is different due to the different chemical processes of each type.

ECN-2

This film was originally intended for motion picture cameras. It cannot be machine processed since it has a REM-JET coating (a black carbon layer which protects the film as it travels through the camera at high speeds). However, it is available for use in still photography and can be processed in special equipment where the chemistry it discarded after every batch. Film stocks such as (KODAK 500T, 50D, 250D) will be cross-processed in C-41 chemistry. NOTE: We DO NOT process motion picture lengths and can only accept roll film shot in a still camera.

If you shoot negative film, it will probably require C-41 processing. If you shoot positive film, it will require E-6 processing.

I have been obsessed with Boutique Film Lab since I found them in the pandemic and they are my go-to place for developing! They do an excellent job processing my negatives and more often than not their turnaround time is faster than advertised, if only because I do my own scanning. They're also one of the more affordable places in town if you drop-off/pick-up so it is always worth the longer drive for me to go to them in Mt Juliet! Cannot recommend them enough!!

There are many things to love about Boutique Film Lab--one of my favorites is that they label each scanned folder with the film stock used. So helpful! It's the little things like this that keep me coming back to Boutique Film Lab.

I’ve been using BFL for the past couple years and I’m so glad I found them. Prices are great and turnaround times for developing are really good. Recommend to anyone looking for a good, consistent lab.

I started shipping my 35mm film to Boutique Film Lab last year during my journey back to film photography. They have developed several rolls of film for me and I have never been disappointed. They have my highest recommendation.

Boutique Film Lab is the best! Once I went with them I have never looked anywhere else. I have people ask me all the time where I get my film processed because of how good the photos turn out. Seriously the best film lab out there!

So this lab was affordable, family owned and returned decent quality photos. There was some confusion about where to drop off your film that wasn't specified on the website and is a private home not a storefront? But the turn around time was 4-5 business days as mentioned and the system for payment was easy!Overall happy but a few kinks here and there!

Absolutely recommend this place for getting your film developed. Super easy to order online and the film gets developed super quick! I take film/disposable photos very often and I always bring them here to get them developed and scanned and they have never disappointed. Pictures always turn out great, even for disposables, and the prices are good! Always very helpful if I have any questions, too.

Phenomenal service. I never have any worries when I drop my film off. BFL is professional, customer-minded, locally-owned, communicative—and arguably most importantly—consistent in their work. I'd absolutely recommend BFL's services to any photographer: professional or amateur.

When my mom passed earlier this year, we found lots of disposable cameras that she had used but never taken in to be developed. When I started researching how to get them developed, I found all of the big name stores ship them off to another state to be processed and developed. I didn't want to trust those memories in the mail or to change hands 4 or 5 times, and that's when I found Boutique Film Lab. They are a local company that went above and beyond to answer all of my questions and I cannot recommend them enough. Super easy drop off and delivery, fast turn around time, great communication along the way. Thank you so much for helping me preserve these memories and check "take film to be developed" off my mom's to do list

The best place to get your film developed in my opinion! I haven't been many places, but they had every option I could need, and were very open and thorough on what I sent them. One of my rolls wasnt exposed accidentally and they gave me credit back because they only processed the roll. The pictures I got back were perfect, and I feel they have a much more personal touch compared to somewhere like Walgreens. Support non-chains and at least give them a try, you won't be disappointed!

I live states away in Jersey and had a concern. When I called the store I talked to the sweetest man. He was so nice and friendly and answered all my questions with great patience. My photographs came out incredible. The quality is just amazing and I am so happy to have found such a great photo lab.

PERFECT! Part of the reason I enjoy film is waiting to see how your pictures turned out. The excitement builds up as each day passes. This time however, I needed something ASAP. These guys did a wonderful job taking a 2 day rush order especially under quarantine. Could not ask for better service :)

Very friendly staff. The variety of services they offer is incredible! Prices and turnaround times are lovely. I am so happy I discovered this business because I do not know how to develop Kodak 500T, but they have saved the day by doing that for me:) they send an email once film is checked in if you send it in the mail, and they give you a range of time when it will be uploaded/sent back. Thank you, Boutique Film Lab!

Unparalleled service.In a world that is becoming increasingly disposable, it is comforting to know there are still others that champion the permanence of film.As of this writing, I've used them for 18 months & roughly 140 35mm rolls; flawless quality control each and every time. Also the best value I've found in eight surrounding states.We should all aspire to be as devoted to our art & our passions as they are to theirs. I thank them for keeping up & winning the good fight.

So happy I trusted Boutique Film Lab with processing my first ever film photos! The online ordering process was simple, turnaround time was quick, and most importantly the scans and prints turned out beautifully. No extra charges or complications for a single-use camera or unusual film either- I used an Ilford XP2 B&W camera that processes like standard color film (C41) and the pictures came back from Boutique's C41 processing in perfect crisp black and white. Couldn't be more pleased with the results and I will definitely be sending my future film here!

Ryan does fantastic work. I had 90 rolls of 35mm film...all of my girls growing up. Ryan did a fantastic job in developing and scanning them into digital files, saved me a lot of money and time. Glad I came acorss Boutique Film Lab, highly recommend. Cannot say enough about Ryan and his business. Barry Goodwin, Nashville TN

Great service! I recently had my first roll of film developed here and had lots of dumb questions. All were answered patiently and quickly! The scanning was also very well done, no dust or scratches that I could find (see images below). I'm definitely planning on sending more film in!

Ryan is so passionate about what he does and it shows in his amazing customer service and care. He develops my black and white film and goes out of his way to make sure everything is perfect. When you run your own business, you are only as strong as your weakest link, so having really strong vendors behind me is so important to me, and Ryan is totally that! Definitely recommend his services!

I have tried all of the labs out there and could not find a lab that was consistent to my style. When the Boutique Film Lab opened I was excited to give this lab a try. And what I found was amazing communication and consistently. It is so important when having your film developed and scanned to be comfortable communicating with your lab. Ryan makes the whole process easy and pleasant. You can tell Ryan takes the time on each image to make sure they are not only looking great but flow together. I am so happy that I have found the boutique lab for my wedding photography.
