In this comprehensive guide, learn about our services, pricing, what to expect, and how to prepare for the perfect passport photo.
Supported Passport Photo Standards (US, Canada, UK, Schengen & More)
We are experienced in taking passport and visa photos for a wide range of countries. Different countries have specific photo requirements – and we make sure to get them all right. Here are some of the major standards we support:
United States: 2x2 inch (51×51 mm) color photo on a white background with a neutral expression. We ensure the correct size and head position per U.S. Department of State guidelines.
Canada: 50×70 mm photo with a neutral expression and specific face size requirements. Canadian passport photos are strict – we follow the official standards so your pictures will be accepted.
United Kingdom & Schengen (EU): 35×45 mm biometric passport/visa photos meeting ICAO standards. This size and format is used for UK, European Union, and Schengen visa photos (as well as many other countries).
Bahamas: 2x2 inch passport photos as required by the Bahamian Passport Office (color photos with white background). We’re very familiar with local Bahamian passport and immigration photo specs.
Other Countries: Need a photo for another country’s visa or ID? We can likely accommodate it. From biometric photos for international travel documents to custom size visa pictures, just let us know the requirements and we’ll make sure your photo meets them.
No matter the country, Tonya Alexis Studios produces compliant, high-quality biometric photos that adhere to the latest regulations. You won’t have to worry about your passport or visa picture being rejected for technical reasons – we stay up-to-date on all guidelines.
Passport Photo Pricing – All-Inclusive Package for $25
We offer a flat rate of $25 for our passport/visa photo service, which provides excellent value with everything you need included. Here’s what you get for $25:
Same-Day Prints: You will receive printed copies of your passport photo on the spot. We typically provide at least two high-quality prints (cut to the exact size required). These are ready to submit with your application.
Digital Copy via Email: We email you a digital file of your photo at no extra charge. This is perfect for online applications or as a backup. The digital photo will be formatted to meet online upload specifications (for example, U.S. online passport renewal or visa applications).
Compliance Guaranteed: We ensure the photo meets the official requirements (correct dimensions, background, lighting, and crop) for your specific passport or visa type. Our team double-checks everything, so you can be confident your photo will be accepted by the authorities.
Blemish Removal Touch-Up: Complimentary retouching is included – we’ll do minor edits like removing a blemish or shine. (See below for our touch-up policy.) This ensures you look your best, while still looking like you.
Fast Service: The entire process is quick – the photo shoot and printing usually take just a few minutes. Many clients are in and out within 5–10 minutes for a passport photo. Even with editing and printing, you’ll have your photos the same day.
There are no hidden fees – retakes during the session, prints, and email delivery of the digital file are all included in the $25 price. We take pride in offering professional quality at an affordable rate, so you don’t risk delays with DIY or drugstore photos.
Professional Touch-Ups (Blemish Removal Included)
Worried about a pimple or blemish on photo day? Our studio includes light retouching as part of the service. We want you to look great in your passport or visa photo, but still meet the strict requirements:
We will remove minor blemishes, soften harsh shadows, or reduce shiny spots on your skin as needed. These small touch-ups help you look fresh and professional.
No heavy editing. We do not alter your facial features or do anything drastic – you must still look like your everyday self. (Major alterations are not allowed on passport photos.) Our edits are subtle and adhere to official rules.
The result is a polished photo that shows you at your best. Professional lighting and a little editing can make a big difference compared to a quick snapshot booth image.
Example: If you wake up with an annoying pimple, we can edit it out. If your shirt had a lint speck, we can touch that up too. We’ll also ensure the background is pure white or the required color, and there are no distracting shadows. All of this is included in your $25 package – no extra charges for basic retouching.

Passport Photo Do’s and Don’ts (How to Prepare)
Taking a passport or visa photo might seem straightforward, but small details matter. Here are some essential do’s and don’ts to ensure your photo meets requirements and looks good:
Do’s:
Do dress appropriately: Wear normal attire that you would wear day-to-day. Solid colors are best (a medium or dark color shirt provides contrast with the white background). A collared shirt or business-casual outfit often looks nice in a passport photo.
Do keep your appearance natural: Light makeup is fine, but keep it natural. Make sure your hairstyle doesn’t cover your face. Tuck away any stray hairs, and if you have long bangs, clip them back so your eyebrows and eyes are fully visible.
Do maintain a neutral expression: Passport standards typically require a neutral facial expression. Relax your face, open your eyes, and look straight at the camera. You can have a pleasant look or slight smile, but no big toothy grins. The key is to appear with both eyes open, mouth closed, and a natural gaze.
Do ensure good posture: Sit or stand up straight and face the camera directly. We will adjust the camera height so it’s at eye level. Good posture helps center your face correctly in the frame.
Do remove eyewear (if possible): Glasses are not allowed in most passport photos (for U.S., Bahamas, and many other countries) due to glare and coverage issues. If you wear glasses daily, take them off for the photo to comply with regulations. (Exception: ONLY if you have a medical requirement, and even then documentation is needed – when in doubt, it’s best to remove them.) We will photograph you without glasses to be safe.
Don’ts:
Don’t wear hats or head coverings (unless for religious reasons). No fashion hats, caps, bandanas, or headbands. Your full head and hairline must show. If you do wear a religious head covering daily, you can keep it on but your face must be fully visible and the covering should not cast shadows. (We can work with you to ensure it’s positioned properly.)
Don’t wear sunglasses or tinted lenses. Your eyes must be clearly visible. As mentioned, even clear glasses are discouraged. Definitely no sunglasses or anything that obscures your eyes.
Don’t wear uniforms or camouflage. Official guidance prohibits wearing uniforms or clothing that looks like a uniform in passport photos. For example, avoid military fatigues or even a top that might resemble a uniform. Choose simple civilian clothing instead.
Don’t overdo jewelry or accessories: Small jewelry is fine, but avoid large earrings or anything that could cover part of your face or create glare. Remove any facial piercings that are very large or cover your features (most small nose or ear piercings are fine as long as they don’t cause glare). Also, no headphones or wireless earpieces during the photo.
Don’t use heavy photo filters or editing on yourself beforehand: Come as you are – don’t worry, we will handle any minor retouching. It’s important the photo accurately represents you. Extreme makeup, beauty filters, or Photoshop alterations can lead to a rejected photo. Trust our professional process instead for any needed touch-ups.
Don’t stress! We know it’s a lot of little rules, but our photographer will guide you. If something isn’t right (like a shadow or a tilt of the head), we’ll notice and adjust during the session. Your job is simply to follow our prompts and be yourself.
By following these do’s and don’ts, you’ll be well-prepared. We’ll take care of the rest – from proper lighting to final compliance checks.
What to Expect at Your Passport Photo Appointment
We strive to make the passport/visa photo process quick and easy for you. Here’s what happens when you come to Tonya Alexis Studios for a passport photo:
Arrival and Check-In: When you arrive at our studio (walk-in or at your appointment time), our friendly staff will greet you. We’ll confirm what country/passport or visa the photo is for, to ensure we use the correct settings. If you have any questions or specific concerns (e.g. “I need a baby passport photo” or “I’m worried about my hair in the photo”), let us know upfront.
Preparation: We might ask you to remove your glasses, heavy jewelry, or adjust your hair as needed for the photo. We have a mirror available so you can fix your hair or clothing. If you’re bringing a baby or toddler, you may need to help position them (we have tips and will assist – see FAQ on baby photos below).
Taking the Photo: Our professional photographer will position you in front of the camera with the proper lighting and background. We use high-quality lighting to eliminate shadows. You’ll be asked to look at the camera with a neutral expression. We typically take several shots (e.g. 2-4 photos) to ensure we capture a good one without blinks or off-expressions. Don’t worry, this part is very quick – usually done in a minute or two.
Review and Selection: Right after taking the photos, we’ll review them on our screen. If something was off (maybe you blinked or the pose was slightly wrong), we’ll retake a photo. Our goal is to have at least one perfect shot that meets all requirements. We may also show you the best image to confirm you’re satisfied with how you look. We want you to be happy with your passport photo!
Editing and Compliance Check: Once a final image is selected, we’ll perform the included blemish removal and editing (as needed). We adjust brightness, contrast, and crop the photo to the exact required dimensions. We also double-check things like head size, background uniformity, and overall compliance using a checklist for the country’s specifications. This editing step only takes a few minutes.
Printing: We print your passport/visa photos on high-quality photo paper with a professional photo printer. Prints are produced in the correct size (we use templates so that, for example, two 2x2 inch photos can be printed on one 4x6 paper and then cut out precisely). The prints are ready almost immediately; we cut them to size for you. You’ll receive the required number of copies (commonly 2 prints, but if you need a different amount – e.g. Bahamian passport applications require 3 photos – just tell us, and we’ll provide extras at no additional charge).
Digital Copy Delivery: We will send the digital copy of your passport photo to the email address you provide. Often, our staff will email it to you before you even leave the studio, so it’s in your inbox by the time you get home. The digital file will be in JPEG format and meet the pixel size and file size requirements for online submissions.
Payment and Receipt: You can pay the $25 fee (we accept cash and major credit/debit cards). We’ll provide a receipt if you need one for your records. Then you’re all set!
Overall, expect the appointment to take around 5–10 minutes in total. We know you’re busy, so we’ve optimized the process to be efficient. Yet we never rush so much that quality suffers – we take the time to get it right. If you have multiple family members getting photos, it might take a few minutes longer for each person, but we’ll maintain a smooth flow.
When you leave, you’ll have your printed photos in hand and the digital copy in your email. You’re ready to attach them to your passport application or upload for your visa!
Fast Turnaround – Same-Day Prints and Digital Delivery
One of the biggest advantages of getting your passport photos in Nassau at our studio is the speed of service. We understand that in many cases you might need your photos urgently (perhaps you have a last-minute travel plan or a visa appointment). Here’s how we ensure a fast turnaround:
Immediate Printing: As mentioned above, we print your photos during your visit. There’s no waiting for lab processing or next-day pickup. You get your prints on the same day, usually within minutes.
Digital Copy Emailed Promptly: The digital file of your photo is sent out right away. This means you can quickly upload it to an online application or simply have a backup copy. If you’re renewing a passport online, for example, you’ll have the JPEG ready to go.
No Long Queues: We operate by appointments (and accept walk-ins when possible), which prevents long lines. Unlike some places where you take a number and wait, at Tonya Alexis Studios you’ll be served at your scheduled time. If you do walk in, any wait is typically very short since passport photos are quick to do.
Efficient Process: Because we specialize in this service, our workflow is streamlined. Our photographers know exactly how to set up the shot in seconds. Our editing templates are ready for each country’s format. This expertise means you aren’t sitting around. It’s essentially in and out, with high-quality results.
Same-Day Reprints or Fixes: In the unlikely event you need an adjustment or additional prints, we can handle that swiftly. For instance, if an immigration office notes an issue (very rare because we check carefully), just contact us – we’ll correct it and provide new photos at no extra charge, as quickly as possible.
We take pride in offering fast service without compromising quality. You get the convenience of quick passport photos in Nassau, with the professionalism of a full studio.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Below are answers to some common questions we get about our passport and visa photo services. If you have any other questions, feel free to contact us – we’re happy to help!
Q: Do you take passport photos for babies and infants?
A: Yes, we do! We know that getting a baby or toddler to sit for a passport photo can be challenging, but our team is very patient and experienced with infant passport photos. For parents looking for a baby passport photo in Nassau, Tonya Alexis Studios is a great choice.
Here’s what to know about baby passport photos:
Babies under 1 year old do not need to have their eyes open in the photo (it’s OK if a newborn’s eyes aren’t fully open). We try our best to get a shot when the baby’s eyes are open, but don’t stress if it’s not possible – passport authorities make exceptions for infants.
We will lay the baby on a plain white background or have the parent hold the baby against a white backdrop (making sure the parent’s hands/arms aren’t visible). We often use a comfy blanket or car seat cover in white.
No one else can be in the photo, so the trick is often to support the baby from behind. Our photographer might ask you to help by holding the baby in position (we’ll drape you in white or crop you out). We make sure there are no shadows on the baby’s face.
The baby can be calm or even sleepy; a neutral expression is fine (no need for a smile). We just need them facing the camera (we’ll use toys or sounds to get their attention if needed).
We allocate a bit of extra time for infant photos to get it right. Don’t hesitate to bring your little one – we’ll create a safe, calm environment to capture a usable photo. Many happy parents have gotten their infants’ passport pictures with us, hassle-free.
Q: Can I get passport or visa photos for my whole family in one visit?
A: Absolutely. We welcome group appointments for families or groups who need passport/visa photos. If you have several family members – for example, parents and kids all renewing passports – we can schedule back-to-back sessions so you only have to come once.
Here’s how we handle family passport photo appointments:
When booking, just let us know how many people need photos. We will block enough time for everyone. For a rough guide, we allocate about 5 minutes per person. So a family of four might be done in ~20 minutes total.
We’ll take each person’s photo individually (since passport photos are one person per picture). Others can wait comfortably in our studio area. We can even entertain kids with a quick show on a phone or some toys while they wait their turn.
Each person will get the same package (prints and digital copy). We keep everything organized so no one’s photos get mixed up. For digital copies, we can send all of them to a single family email or separate emails as you prefer.
Group photos are charged per person at the same $25 rate, but sometimes we may have special family deals or discounts if you have a larger group. Feel free to ask about current promotions when you book.
Bringing the whole family at once can save time – you won’t need multiple trips. It’s one stop for all your passport photo needs!
Q: What if I’m unhappy with my photo or if it gets rejected?
A: Your satisfaction and compliance are our top priorities. If you’re not happy with how your photo turned out, we will retake it on the spot until you are satisfied. During the photo-taking process, we usually show you the best shot and confirm it’s okay before printing. So you’ll have input – if you noticed you were making a funny face or you want to fix your hair and try again, we can do that immediately. There is no extra charge for retakes done during your appointment.
In the extremely rare case that a photo we took is later rejected by a passport agency or embassy (for example, due to some technical requirement), we’ve got you covered as well:
Let us know as soon as possible what the issue was (bring any documentation or feedback they gave, if available).
We will redo your photos for free to fix the issue. Since we guarantee compliance, if something was wrong on our end, we take responsibility. We’ll retake the photo to correct whatever the problem was (be it background, size, etc.), and provide new prints and digital files at no cost.
We keep your edited photo on file for a short period, so sometimes minor issues (like needing an extra copy or a different size) can be resolved without a full reshoot. But if a reshoot is needed, we’ll gladly do it.
Our goal is that you leave with a photo that not only you are happy with, but also one that any government reviewer will accept without question. We stand by the quality of our work – and our many clients rarely have any issues.
Q: Do I need an appointment, or can I walk in for passport photos?
A: We recommend booking an appointment if possible, but we do accept walk-ins when our schedule allows. Passport and visa photos at Tonya Alexis Studios are typically very quick, so even if you walk in, we might be able to serve you almost immediately, especially on a weekday. However, to guarantee no wait, scheduling an appointment is your best bet.
Here are some notes on appointments vs. walk-ins:
Appointments: You can easily book a passport photo session online or by phone (details below in How to Book). With an appointment, you’ll have a specific time slot reserved, and you’ll be in and out in minutes. This is ideal if you have a busy day or need to coordinate a group.
Walk-Ins: If you happen to be in the area or you need a photo last-minute, you can try walking in during our business hours (Mon–Fri 9:30–5:30). We will do our best to accommodate you promptly. Generally, if we’re not in the middle of another session, we can take your passport photo right away. If there is a short wait, you can relax in our waiting area.
Peak Times: Keep in mind that around certain peak travel seasons or lunch hour, there may be a slight wait for walk-ins. We serve clients on a first-come, first-served basis in those cases. Again, an appointment eliminates this concern.
Urgent Needs: If you have an urgent need outside of normal hours (for example, a flight the next day and you just realized you need a photo), contact us. We sometimes can arrange off-hours service by appointment for emergencies. We want to help if we can.
In summary, appointments are preferred for your convenience, but we understand life is unpredictable. We strive to be flexible to get you your photos when you need them!

Final Tips:
It’s often helpful to bring your passport application or guidelines if you have them (especially for unusual visa photo requests), but it’s not required – we’re familiar with most specs.
If you wear a uniform at work (police, nurse, etc.), remember to bring a spare top to change out of for the photo, as uniforms aren’t allowed in passport pics.
For babies, feel free to bring a favorite toy or pacifier – whatever keeps your little one calm. We have a few plush toys in studio too, to help get their attention toward the camera.
Don’t leave your passport photo to chance. At Tonya Alexis Studios, we combine expertise, proper equipment, and personalized service to deliver the best passport and visa photos in Nassau, Bahamas. Our goal is to make the process easy and ensure you’re 100% satisfied with the results.

The 5 elements of a high-performing headshot
Clean lighting that sculpts your face and looks premium
Expression coaching so you don’t look stiff or unsure
