First, know that you won’t have to worry about the details when you work with us for passport photos in Calgary. We take all the uncertainty out of it and guide you step by step. But, there are a few things you should know in advance.
Just come as you are, but try to wear something in a solid color that isn’t white. Think about what will stand out against a light background. Keep your hair out of your face so we can clearly see your whole head, and try for a neutral expression – big grins will get the photo rejected.
You might be stressing about getting the proper photos for your little ones, but don’t stress it. Our photographers are super patient and know all the tricks to get a compliant photo, even if your kids aren’t cooperating perfectly.
The main thing is just to show up. We’ll handle the lighting, the angles, and making sure everything meets the specific requirements, so you don’t have to worry about a thing.

Avoid hats or head coverings (unless for religious or medical purposes)
Avoid sparkly jewelry or jewelry that covers your face
