US Passport and US Visa Photographs


You cannot get US visa or US passport photos from your standard photo booth. The US (and a number of other countries) have different sizes for their passport photographs.

In the case of US passport or visa a 2 inch square image is required, with the head placed within strict limits within the picture.

We can provide a 30 minute turn-round service, including the shoot, fitting the image to the specific format required and providing either prints or digital images.

In particular for the US, you should not try to take these photographs yourself, the US are very particular in their requirements and your passport or visa application can be refused, which for the US can easily turn into a major trauma.

Best regards,

Dressing for an Autumn Family Session

Dressing for an Autumn Family Session


** ON LOCATION PHOTOGRAPHY **

Autumn (or Fall) is a great time for family photo sessions. Those lovely, warm autumn/fall colours and some gorgeous light make for great photographs.

Here are some ideas of how to dress for your autumn/fall shoot:

1) You are always trying to keep clothes a little coordinated. If it comes to jackets you may not have a set that works for each of you. In that case see if you can swap jackets for sweaters.

2) Denim's works really well. If you can all wear jeans it automatically joins you all together.

3) Use layers, scarves, sweaters, jackets and hats can make great outfits.

4) Go for appropriate shows - riding boots, wellies or fur boots are great. If not then sneakers and flats also work perfectly.

5) Try and choose colours that match the autumn/fall tones, so think warm browns, burnt orange or natural creams.
