Dear Parents:

It was a pleasure photographing your kids at Encore Showcase Minneapolis 2006. Here are few important notes. Please read through them as they will make your ordering easier.

Here is an example of our standard editing (without any additional charge) consists of cropping, color correction, and exposure correction. For other custom editing questions such as custom text, removal of foreground or background… etc., please visit our Frequently Asked Questions section of our website.

Before
After

Focus Point for Photos Containing More than One Person:
If more than one person is in the photo, it is possible that not all persons are in sharp focus. This happens when the kids appear in different rows. Please make sure your kid is in focus prior to placing your order. If you are not sure, you are always welcome to send us an email photocard to verify if your kid is in focus.

Encore Cover Girl/Guy Search or Photo Sign Up:

If you already Signed UP:

You are all set then just skip the below and go on to the next topic.

If you DID NOT Sign Up:

We had many disappointed parents telling us they did not realize or forgot to register therefore no photos were not taken of their dancers. We have discussed this concern with Encore Showcase and came up with a solution that hopefully will accommodate everyone:

If you did not sign up for either the Encore Cover Girl/Guy Search or the regular Photo Sign Up, we will do our best to photograph the routine with some photos. This way if you found an exceptional photo, you will still have a chance to enter the Cover Girl/Guy Search. Please note, because you did not sign up and we do not know if you are interested in either entering the search or purchasing photos, there will be a slightly higher charge for each photo. In the future, in order to get the best coverage and best pricing, be sure you take the time and sign up for photos prior to the beginning of the routines.


Cropping for Photos Containing More than One Person:
We will generally crop for the subject in the center of each photo. Please make sure to tell us if your kids appeared in the edge of a specific photo so we can crop accordingly.

Removal of Partial Body Parts:
If an arm or leg of another person appears on the photo, we will do our best to remove them if there is a clear separation between your dancer and the other person. But please note that we are unable to remove the unwanted bodies if there is any touching or overlapping of the part of the body from another person. We are also unable to remove the unwanted parts if the background is not homogenous.

Digital Files
Yes, we have digital files for solo dancers available for personal usage. Click here to read all about it.

Sincerely,

Action Snapshots, Inc.

* Please Note * We will generally keep event photos online for at least six months. However, about 30 days after the event, the original images will be archived (deleted off our hard drive and archived on DVD). The price of photos at that time will be a minimum of 30% higher because it will take us time to find and to retrieve images. Please place your order as soon as possible.

Please note due to limitation of the software, if you order photos from different sessions, there will be a separate $5 S&H charge.  However, you can subtract $5 S&H charge for each additional session by deducting the amount from your final figure.  Please indicate the order # of your original order which you are paying the S&H and any subsequent orders where you are deducting the $5 in your message to us (either at Paypal message window or on the print out of your order to be include if you are mailing us a check).  Combine S&H is only available to the same parent that is shipping to the original address. 

Reporting Errors and Missing Routines:

We have improved our services this year from before. We have devoted significant resources to organize the photos by routine names. We hope you will find this improved feature to be convenient.

However, there are five people and five computers processing over 20,000 photos and 400+ routines in some events, it is likely we will make mistakes or forget to post some routine. If you discovered any errors, please let us know by email . When inquiry about a specific routine, please tell us the following information:

  • “Event City”
  • Date of Performance
  • The “Level” of the routine
  • “Routine # and Name”
  • A description of type of dance (solo, duo, trio, small group, large group or lyrical) and costumes.
