During an outdoor photo shoot conducted by Gloss’s experienced shutter savants, you and your fellow subjects will be carefully posed and allowed to let loose in front of the lens for up to 30 minutes. Armed with top-of-the-line Canon equipment, photographers will snap between 20 and 40 shots during the session. Afterward, subjects can select the glamorous-est shot and have it printed in 8”x10” form in a precision lab. You’ll also receive a digital copy of the chosen image, which means you can digitally edit, email, or print it to your analog heart's content. Whether you are married, soon to be married, or a child reading at an eighth-grade level, Gloss's professional photo services can freshen up any headshot, holiday card, or driver's license.

Household textiles also kowtow to Natural Cleaners' expertise as draperies, bedspreads, and feather pillows return home spic and span.
