Custom Picture Framing in Ruston, Louisiana — Since 1977.

If it's worth remembering,
it's worth framing.

Lead Terry's been at the workbench on Vienna Street since 1987. Jerseys, diplomas, shadowboxes, the piece your grandmother stitched. Serving Ruston, Lincoln Parish, and all of North Louisiana. Bring it in — he'll take care of it.

A family shop in downtown Ruston. Open since 1977 — Lead at the bench, Christi at the counter, about a hundred moulding profiles on the wall.

The craftsman

Lead does the work.
Every piece. Every time.

He bought the shop in 1987 and hasn't handed the matknife off since. Christi runs the front. You drop something off, Lead is the one who frames it. You come back, he's the one who hands it back.

People drive from Monroe, Shreveport, and all over North Louisiana because they know their stuff isn't going to get messed up.
