I never got a Memory Mate Coupon - what do I do?

If the coach doesn't have the coupon call our office at (530) 621-0400 Monday - Friday & we can look up their code. Note: If your child was NOT shot on picture day they do NOT get a photo coupon. If they are shot on a makeup day they will get a coupon at that time. Return to Top

Will the photo I receive have similar quality to the one I see in the proof on the screen?
The proofs you see online are lower quality and resolution than the actual images from which enlargements are printed. This technology allows visitors to the web site to view images which load up quickly, even over slow Internet connections, while still allowing our customers to receive top-quality prints. Return to Top

 

How will the photograph be cropped for enlargements?
As photographs are enlarged, the height/width ratio changes, so the print you receive may require cropping from the pictures' edges. Please note: Our ordering software now allows the end user (you) to crop the images on almost all the products we offer... Be sure to crop your images when you order! Return to Top

 

What type of process is used to print the photos?
All images are printed professionally on the highest-quality photo paper. Return to Top
