What customers say
My wife and I came in here to get our son’s passport photos taken only after being disappointed with a previous photo studio only minutes before coming here. The prices here are way cheaper and the quality was night and day different from what we received a few minutes ago from somewhere else.
I had an amazing morning today. I needed to have a photo printed from my phone. I called and Saïd he said he could do it. I wanted something better than the pharmacy instant machines. He did a spectacular job, helping me edit, which only enhanced the photo.
Super kind, super sweet and excellent photo quality. I went here before he closed his store and I didn't think he would be available but he welcomed me with a smile. He then took my pictures for my passport application and I liked them as soon as I saw them. These passport photos were needed immediately.
I went to 59 Minute Photo in 2023 to have my daughter's quinceañera photo enlarged. Service was professionally well done. I visited store last weekend to have a friend's photo enlarged and was emotional with how it turned out. I brought Mr. Saeed a photo that was blurry and grainy.
