George at Advanced Photo was so helpful! I had a copy of a photo with poor resolution and printed on low quality paper. My family has no idea where the original could be, so this was all we had to work with. George admitted there was not much we could do, but was willing to give it a shot and at least get it printed on nice paper. It actually turned out much better than both expected and I am so grateful he didn't just turn me away. It means so much to my family. Thank you George!

George hands down took the best passport (and visa!) photos I have ever had. You might be thinking - "How could a passport photo be different from one place to another?". Well, it comes down to George's professionalism, humor, good nature, and overall skill. He isn't just some random guy, or machine, taking a photo.I had to get passport photos for 2 adults, and 2 kids (both under 6 yrs old). Somehow the kids were able to take fantastic photos, and we did not need to re-take multiple times. Everyone's photo turned out clean. And no surprises here - all of our photos were accepted on all of our applications.George is knowledgeable of passport photo requirements along with commonly sought visa photo requirements. Our family also needed visas, and George was able to pull and use the same photos for the visa requirements, no need to retake the photo. If you need a visa for a less travelled country (like ours) just share with George the requirements you need and he'll be able to figure out if the same photo can be used or if a new one needs to be taken.Sizing is not an issue and George can easily get you a metric or imperial sized photo.Do-it-yourself photos will of course always be more budget friendly, yet I felt the value, expertise, and convenience of what we got with George far exceeded what we paid. The photos were printed relatively quickly and in less than an hour we had high-quality professional passport and visa photos ready to go. For what we paid, versus all the time, research, and headache it would have taken for us to figure it out on our own - it was a bargain.I highly recommend coming here for your passport and visa photo needs. Supporting a local small business is also a huge plus, and I recommend George to anyone needing professional passport photos taken.

So happy to have found Advanced Photo!I went in this morning looking to take a new passport photo, and honestly it's one of the best I have ever gotten. They have a great set-up, and the photos are far superior in quality to any printed at a pharmacy.George was super, and I was able to get the new photos in less than 10 minutes. There is easy parking on the side of the building, and you can't miss the big sign from the street.As a small business owner myself, I couldn't be happier to support, and will be recommending them to everyone!Thank you again for the stellar service!

I can't say enough good things! We reached out to Advanced Photo to get a few photos printed that we took on vacation. We (1) know very little about photography and (2) we needed weird size proportions based on our frames and matting. George was super responsive via email and made sure that the photos would turn out right: no important part of the image would be cropped (he sent us what it would look like to make sure), checked for imperfections, confirmed that our edits to the color wouldn't look weird printed, etc. I was absolutely blown away by how helpful he was when we clearly had no idea what we were doing. The photos were also printed immediately once we were all in agreement. Fast forward to now, and we have beautiful prints hanging on our wall! Advanced Photo is located inside KH Art Framing (on the corner of the building), and has a few dedicated parking spots to the right of the building if you're facing it.

Simply Amazing Passport Photos!!! DO NOT go anywhere else. No appointment needed. It was so fast and efficient and saved me from going on multiple trips to CVS. If you value your time just go here:)

The place to go for passport photos. Waited about about an hour at Walgreens for my passport photos to be ready- came back HORRIBLE. My daughter was green, I looked like I had a weird skin disease and half my hair had been photoshopped off. My daughters pics were also badly cut, no two pictures were the same size. Did a google search on my phone in the parking lot and found this jewel, there is an actual place in the store designated to take pictures in, good lighting, a professional camera, and a person who is clearly knowledgeable about what needs to be done. You know how they say nobody looks good in the passport pics? I learned that if you're saying that you probably had your picture taken by someone who didn't know what they were doing and you're going to oh the price for the next 10 years every time you open your passport and feel your self esteem draining from your body. Need passport photos? Come here. You won't regret it.

George helped me get a photo with a different metric size when others such as CVS could not. I needed them for visas for my family and he was able to get them done in a short visit. He's professional and patient. Especially since i had to get two toddlers to take photos looking straight at the camera without some silly faces that they were definitely making. Good looking photos and the correct metric size!

10/10 would recommend! I was quoted $600 somewhere else for restoring my boyfriend’s photo of his dad that passed. That price didn’t even include having one printed let alone framed. I took this photo to Advanced Photo, and not only were the prices fair and around what I expected/hoped to pay but also by time he was finished it was under the quoted price and I still chose to get it framed. The quality was so good and he was extremely happy about it . I was so pleased and excited about how it turned out I gave it to my boyfriend earlier than Christmas. He was like a kid again haha! I’ll definitely be back.

I came here to get my passport picture taken a couple weeks ago. The process was quick and easy, the people were nice, the photos came out nicely, and it was reasonably priced (two professional photos with a Department of State passport photo holder for about $15, if I remember correctly). Highly recommend using Advanced Photo for passport photos needs!

I took a badge with a photo on it to Advance Photo with the hope of getting a reasonable 8x10. I was assisted by George who explained what had to be done to get the best result. When the photo was done George emailed me and I went back to pick it up. I was very impressed with what I saw. George had produced a high quality 8x10 image from a very difficult source image and the price was very reasonable. This is an important picture that my mother has been asking me for so I'm very glad I took the time to read the reviews and I'm happy to add my review of Advanced Photo for a job well done. Thank you George.

If you want a good quality passport photo, look no more and save yourself some time and energy and just go here. I took two rounds of photos at CVS before, all low quality (they use old and low quality cameras, so no surprise. And don't get me started on the customer service!), and I was charged pretty much the same amount as here and not necessarily/significantly cheaper. Here I got a really nice photo, I had the opportunity to see the photos before printing and choose my favorite one, and they use a good camera. I want to thank George for being so responsive and doing a great job. I'm finally happy with my passport photo!

I came by to have my college bound kid's photograph taken after the local pharmacy had botched up big time. I was honestly surprised by the quality of the work. I was expecting it to be good but not this good. And I was blown away that the rates were no different than at the pharmacy. In fact I even received the free digital version and an extra set at no charge. I would highly recommend Advanced Photo.

Although I've never had photos repaired, scanned and printed until recently, I can't imagine there's a service in the DMV that does it quicker or more professionally than Advanced photo. From the first inquiry email to the store sending me my photos via mail, each step of the process was seamless. The prices are fair and they do fantastic work. If you live in DC or Maryland it's worth the trip out there!

I recently came into negatives from my parent's wedding, which took place in 1950. The negatives were in an old church envelope and were a medium format, so I could not just get them printed anywhere. I took them to George on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. I wanted to have the negatives cleaned up and 4 sets of photos printed. He originally told me about a week, as he was going out of town. He emailed me the Saturday after Thanksgiving to tell me the job was completed! When I picked up the photos, they were better than I could have expected! Crisp and clear prints and now a family treasure. The other three sets are going to my siblings as Christmas presents. This was simply a great experience! Advanced Photo is now my go to shop for my photo printing needs. A job very well done and Thank You.
