SOME GET-READY TIPS:
Please see photos on this page for samples.
1. Wear darker color clothing because the background is white or lighter color. Avoid neon and all-white shirts.
2. For babies, please make sure they are awake when arriving at our studio. We need the baby to be awake and preferably in good mood. Dress the baby in color clothing. Avoid white color.
3. Please make sure your hair is not covering the eyebrow. Do not use headband. Avoid large earrings.
4. [ UPDATE ] Beginning November 1, 2016, glasses are not allowed on all USCIS photos per requirement.
5. We also have shirts in the studio in case you do not have the ideal clothing
6. Do not worry if you have darker skin tone. Our photo-taking, lighting and processing technique will ensure proper skin color exposure for each individual.
7. For Newborn / Babies - Please avoid bringing in babies when they just receive immunization shots. They tend to be less settled for a good passport photo.
