It's rare, but bring the rejection notice and we'll reshoot at no charge.
A neutral expression with the mouth closed is what most documents require. We'll direct you.
Yes. Bring a plain white blanket and we'll work with you — it usually takes a few attempts.
Call, message, or walk in — we'll tell you what it needs and what it costs.
Getting a passport photo rejected means starting your application over. We take photos to the exact specification your document requires — size, background, lighting, expression — and print them while you wait at either store. No appointment, no guesswork, no second trip.

Walk in any time during store hours — no appointment needed. The whole process takes about ten minutes: we take the shot, check it against the requirements, and print it while you wait. Digital copies are emailed before you leave the counter. Saturday mornings are our busiest time for photos, so if you're in a rush, weekday afternoons are usually quietest.
No — just walk in during store hours at either our Georgetown or Acton location. The whole thing takes about ten minutes. If you're coming on a Saturday morning, which is our busiest time, you might wait a few minutes for the camera to free up.
Just yourself. Wear a plain top in a colour that contrasts with a white background, and take off glasses if you can — reflections are the most common reason photos get flagged. We'll handle the lighting, positioning, and sizing. No need to bring anything else.
Yes. For Canadian passport and citizenship applications, IRCC requires the photographer's stamp or signature with the date on the back of one photo. We do this as standard on every set, so your application package is complete when you leave.
Absolutely. Alongside your printed set, we can email you a digital file sized and formatted to IRCC's online specifications. It's ready to upload the moment it hits your inbox — handy if you're applying for a passport or visa from your laptop.
For a Canadian passport, the photo must have been taken within the last six months. We date-stamp every set we produce, so there's never any question about when it was taken. If your application drags on and the photo ages out, come back and we'll reshoot it.
Yes — citizenship and PR cards, US/UK/Schengen/India/China visas, Nexus cards, PAL firearms licences, student cards, and workplace ID badges. Each has its own size and background rules, so tell us what it's for and we'll shoot to the right spec.
