Thankful that local places like these are still around. Joe took me for a passport photo an hour before closing with no appointment. He was incredibly kind and we enjoyed some conversation. Processed the photos right then and there and I was out in less than 30 minutes. Thanks Joe & Marfione Studio!

I was referred to this studio after having my newly made passport photos from another studio being rejected by the Irish Consulate because they did not meet that country's requirements, Owner was extremely knowledgeable, concerned with detail and accuracy. Aware of most countries' requirements. On street metered parking. Easy to get to location.

I got my 3-month-old daughter's passport photo done here. Pro: Quick in and out. Con: I went to a real photography studio thinking I'd get a better photograph, and that's exactly *not* what happened! The man working didn't have a sheet to lay her on--instead he had me hold her sitting up on something vaguely like a music stand, about five feet in front of a blank screen in a very dim room.
He then did some quick photoshopping to make the picture brighter (why he didn't just turn the lights on in the room, I have no idea). It's not a flattering photo of my kid (she's all slumped, because she's not old enough to sit up yet), and there's a grey dot right in the middle of her forehead from dirt on the camera sensor.
All this for the underwhelming price of $20. I wish now I'd done it myself--I've got a professional dSLR and a great portrait lens; I just thought it'd be a pain to find somewhere to print a color photo. :P
