On :hover, image expands past the div container?

I'm making my first website and I have a few images that increase in scale in hover state. I would also like there to be a box shadow around it. I added the box shadow, but when the image "grows", the shadow extends past the div container. Any ideas how to keep the image and the effects inside the div? Thanks.

<div id="wrapper">
          <div id="container">
              <div id="gallery">
                <figure class="mashedHover">
                <a href="mashed.html"><img src="img/Mashed2.png"><figcaption>Mashed</figcaption></a>
                </figure>

                <figure class="clamHover">
                <a href="clam.html"><img src="img/Sherm2.gif"><figcaption>The Ballad of the<br>Purple Clam</figcaption></a>
                </figure>
                <figure class="timberHover">
                <a href="timber.html"><img src="img/Timber3.jpg"><figcaption>Timber</figcaption></a>
                </figure>
                <figure class="booHover">
                <a href="boo.html"><img src="img/Boo_3.gif"><figcaption>Boo!</figcaption></a>
                </figure> 
               </div> 
          </div>

Probably because, of not modifying the images size right.

What ever, the hover won't know how big it'll be so it oversize without you telling what size the actual images is.
