"I got a shot I loved"
I had the BEST experience with Paul getting my passport photo taken! He was so incredibly kind, knowledgeable and helpful and really made sure I got a shot I loved and that I felt confident in! He even printed a couple of sizes to make sure it’d definitely be accepted at a post office. 10/10 for service and outcome, can’t recommend this enough ☺️"
