I've been going to the local darkroom, so I needed B&W 35mm negatives to be developed. As for film development, Fullerton Photographics is an amazing resource. I dropped them off, paid around $15, and got them returned within a week -what a great turnaround time! Plus the negatives came in perfectly. Way better than Walgreens (where they don't even return the negatives). I will be definitely back!

Photographer Natalie was the best for my passport pictures! She's so patient, she fixed my hair and out of the 6-7 poses, she let me pick which picture I wanted to get printed. Passport photos last 10 YEARS so make sure you get a great photographer like Natalie!

I got a custom photo created for my best friend from someone on Etsy. I didn't want to go to a CVS with a bad quality print. I found this place, of recommendation, and it came out beautifully, they have many different types of materials, custom sizes and my simple 12x12 print was ready in a few hours. I can't wait to give it to her!

I ordered prints and they were ready for pick up super fast! I used curbside pickup, which was great. My baby was able to stay asleep in the car. Pictures turned out beautifully. Price was fair.

A great experience! I needed a 16x20 picture of my father that has just passed. They enlarged the picture from a 4x5 centered it and cleaned it up. We were very happy with the results. Thank you Lisa and everyone at Fullerton Photo.
