Visit us in downtown Ames and you can get your passport photo, visa photo, lottery photo, etc. taken — it will be ready in about 10 minutes! No appointment necessary unless you are not able to sit up on your own (generally babies & small kids). We take passport photos for US passports (US citizens) and international (persons with non-US citizenship) passports. We can take your photo against the standard white background, or we can use an off-white, light blue or royal blue background if your country requires it. Babies and children welcome, just call ahead if your baby or child can't sit up on their own to make an appointment since this requires additional staff!
Need an ID photo? Or a VISA photo? Green card photo? Quick head shot for a website? No problem, we do that too!
