I have been going here for years for passport photos. In my experience, it costs about the same as a pharmacy but is better quality. If you need passport photos of a young child, they know how to get the job done correctly, which is not easy. Great customer service, a pleasure to work with.

Lev and his team handled a difficult printing job for me, and they did a great job. They had a consultative approach, where very responsive during the planning phase, and delivered a excellent product. Highly recommend!

I have to give this small business all the stars. Two different employees helped me today, both incredibly kind, patient and skilled. My child is not a fan of getting his picture taken, and they were as understanding and helpful as they could be. I got the passport and Canadian citizenship photos that I needed both in one place. They have gorgeous photo prints in the shop. Not very many skilled photo printing and photographer places left, give these guys your business!
