What customers say
I just worked with Joe on an extremely complicated job and I was absolutely astounded with the work he and Kathy did. I’ve been a photographer in the city for the last 18 years, worked with framers all over, I’ve even framed myself, and I can say without a doubt there is nobody I would trust more as a framer after…
Found this place online, and went in to get my Passport Photo taken and it was absolutely painless, quick and so professional. The Team was helpful, and very much do a great job in setting you up for a GOOD passport photo - which I feel like is a rarity. $25 for the process, and was in and out in less than 10min.
I’ve been here twice. I’ve rebooked, but something came up in my schedule, and I had to cancel multiple times. First time, I was serviced by ViKTORiiA. She did an amazing job. Second and most recent time, I was serviced by Gugush. She also did an amazing job. My feet and toes were in bad shape.
I highly recommend Photo Mission Studios for their exceptional service. I needed an ID photo for a visa application, and they were quick, professional, and friendly. The quality of the photos is excellent, and their prices are reasonable.
