Had passport pictures taken yesterday and was thrilled by the quality. MUCH better than the scary pictures taken at Walgreen on B'way in the Bronx where I looked like the crypt keeper's mother. David took pictures that made me look natural. He is the ultimate professional and will treat you with respect and kindness. I'd definitely recommend paying his modest fee for the results you will get. The end result are photos you won't end up having to explain because they actually look like you. I'll recommend David Beyda to everyone I know from this day forth. Thank you David!
