BE A HERO

With an affordable session fee, and plenty of optional products to choose from, you can give yourself a gift and help the rescue!

We have a lot of fun preparing for our sessions and so should you!

  • Don’t stress. Children & pets generally react negatively to a parent’s stress.
  • Ensure your dog is people friendly.  Aggressive pets will not be tolerated.
  • Fed, but still a bit hungry. We use treats liberally during our sessions. Feel free to bring your own, or use ours.
  • Sit, stay down.  Work on these with your pet for best results.  If we have to chase your baby, you’ll receive fewer images in your allotted time frame.
  • ARRIVE EARLY ,,, but not too early. Sessions may be cancelled if you are more than 10 minutes late.
  • 268 Red River Road.  Downtown PA next to the parkade entrance and The Lovely Body. Please familiarize yourself with the location before the session.

Yes and No.   If your dogs are extremely obedient to sit, stay, and down commands then yes.  If not, one dog per session is the general rule.  We wouldn’t be doing you any favours by trying to manage two or more fur-babies in one single mini session.

Absolutely!  Come prepared, and looking sharp!

Your private proof gallery contains fully edited images from your session. We offer prints, packages, digital files and digital file packages, as well as wall art, heirloom albums and novelty items such as Christmas ornaments, key chains, blankets and more.

  • Saturdays by gosh and by golly.

WHAT IS AN EDITED IMAGE? When we say that an image is edited, it means that it is correct overall and ready for print. Edits include cropping, color, exposure and white balance correction and possibly the addition of a global filter. Filters can add warmth or lighting effects and are added only as means of enhancing the image. Not all image series have filters added. All of our mini session images are fully edited when you purchase them. Because we don’t know the printer, paper, ink or lab choices that you make in printing our digital images, we do not guarantee your personally printed results. Choose our prints over digitals to receive our quality guarantee.

WHAT IS A RETOUCHED IMAGE?

Retouching is additional work done by an expert in a post processing program that enhances skin, cleans backgrounds, and even does some heavy lifting like slimming, face thinning, and makeup adjustments. We divide retouching into two categories: Standard and Restorative. When you purchase a print at Shine Photo, standard retouching is always included free of charge and has usually been done before you even see your proofs. This includes eye brightening, teeth whitening, acne removal, sometimes facial or arm slimming and any other retouch we deem necessary to make your image stunning. In general, standard retouches are applied to any item in the image that the subject wants touched up but has no control over … such as blemishes. Restorative retouching can be done for a reasonable extra charge. These retouches include glare removal in glasses, fixing teeth, removal of braces etc.

Although Dr. Photoshop is on our permanent staff, we do not retouch everything for free. If you come in with logos or stains on your T shirt and want them removed, we charge for that. Super wrinkled shirt? Lots of pilling? We charge for that. Poorly applied makeup? We charge for that. Didn’t remove that chipped red nail polish from your child’s fingers, or the residue of a temporary tattoo before you came? We can usually fix it, but there is a fee.

One final thought on additional retouching. It adds TIME to your order. Retouching is done by hand using software by real people who are highly skilled in the use of the software. We live in an era of instant, but timeless images take time to prepare.
