ABOUT US

Custom Photo & Framing / Photo Lab Boca Raton

Custom Photo Images started as Peter Lorber's self-built warehouse darkroom, where he printed super-sized fine art prints. Disappointed with the printing quality of local labs, fellow photographers encouraged Peter to open a professional photo lab in Boca Raton with his wife, Addie, in September 1991. The lab flourished, adding Courtenay Gilbert, a professional photographer, printer, and designer, to the team in 1992. Courtenay became Peter's creative partner, and together, they expanded the business to offer custom framing services. With Courtenay's keen eye for design and expert framers, the frame shop provides clients with beautiful custom frames for their specific needs and budgets, offering special pricing for artists and designers. Over the years, Custom Photo Images has evolved from a darkroom and film processing operation to a full-service digital lab, photography studio, and in-house custom framing. Courtenay, Peter, and Addie work as a tight-knit group to provide customers with beautiful images, the highest quality products, and professional service. In 2022, the business changed its name to 'Custom Photo and Framing' to reflect its comprehensive services.

OUR TEAM

Courtenay Gilbert

COURTENAY GILBERT

Master of Creativity

While Courtenay Gilbert has been at Custom Photo and Framing for over thirty years, her photography career began at ten when she first stepped foot in a darkroom. She graduated from the School of Visual Arts, NYC, specializing in fine art, fashion photography, and design. After honing her photography and makeup artistry skills in New York City, she relocated to South Florida in 1991 with her camera in hand.

 

Individually and in partnership with Peter Lorber, her fine art photography has been published, sold, and exhibited worldwide. Adapting from her youthful darkroom days, Courtenay has become a Photoshop and printing expert. With her unparalleled creative vision and passion for innovation, Courtenay has established herself as an ambitious artist and will continue to inspire all for years to come.
