Wow Is the only thing I can say about this place. I went in to get a enlargement done and was instantly welcomed to a man that just has the best attitude about life and on top of that it only took less than10 minutes to print out a 16x20 picture! He also put the picture in the frame that I went to grab from the store. So overall I am very pleased about this place. Will be going back.
Excellent service and impeccable photos taken for government ID’s.
Awesome customer service!!!! Great personality and charisma, you will go from just wanting a photo to having a great and fun time 😀Really liked this place and the conversation we had
Wonderful personalty to talk with! we just went for a passport photo but ended up having a great time and laugh. He knows every minute detail of the task at hand, you can trust him when he says he knows the rules! you will have absolute fun time talking to him.
I needed good quality passport and visa photos. My initial photo from a local drug store looked more like a mug shot and was not something I would place in an official document. APV Studio provide high quality professional photos, exactly what I needed. The service was fast, I was in and out in 15 minutes. Thank You!
Me and my husband visited Terry’s studio after reading raving reviews about his professional photos and we were super impressed. He pays attention to all detail like writing DOB in correct format and makes sure that photos meet the specifications perfectly using scale . We enjoyed having him as our photographer and would recommend him to our friends.He does have some great anecdotes to share as well..
My daughters and I needed Canadian passport photos and I expected to have to give an in-depth description of exactly what we needed. He pulled out the exact same information that I brought to explain. He was very knowledgeable of the specifications. I’m recommending APV to everyone I know that needs passport photos. The experience was Excellent!!
Fast and courteous service. He takes the stress out of immigration photographs and adds a little fun to the process. APV Studios is well worth the fee for accurate, clear photos for government forms and applications.
It was worth the 1 hour trip.You walk through the door and the guy treats you like family. Funny as hell. Will be coming back.Almost forgot to mention his work is TOP NOTCH. Like I said, worth the trip.
I think the reviews all speak for themselves. The owner is such a sweet man, and very fun to talk to. The service took 5 minutes, but my Husband and I stayed to talk for a while. The passport pictures turned out absolutely perfect and he makes sure of that so there are no issues with your application. Great service!
APV Studios has always done great work for me. Top notch friendly service. This is the place to go for great quality photos done quickly and perfect every time. This is the only photography company that we will use.
My son and I couldn’t have had a better experience getting a Canadian passport photo taken. After struggling to find someone to take a proper photo for months, with the needs and regulations met, we drove the hour and a half to APV Studios and were met with the happiest and kindest of service. We laughed and had a great time while getting the photo taken and it was exactly as needed. I will recommend coming here to everyone.
Going to APV Studios was the best chance I’ve ever took after wasting my money with Walgreens and CVS.The owner’s attention to detail and expert eye and practiced perfection made all the difference.He leaves no stone unturned to ensure everything is as per the requirements for the immigration purpose.You will find only the best service and knowledge at APV Studios!
Love this guy. Great experience.
The owner was the sweetest man who took such great of us for our passport photos!! He knew all the details for British passport requirements gave us the opportunity to make sure we were happy with the picture more so we had a blast hanging out while and having a good laugh!! Recommend him over any Walgreens or CVS!!!!!
Forget about CVS & the post office when it comes to taking your government photos and do yourself a favor by coming here instead. The guy is so sweet and made me feel comfortable for my photo. I paid $45 for a set of 6 photos which is great compared to other places. Highly recommend.
Very good experience of getting professional photographs clicked. The owner is a perfectionist and takes joy in his work. We took his services twice and would recommend him to everyone.
I needed to renew my Passport for a trip to Switzerland. I tried Walgreens and was extremely disappointed in the quality of the photographs. I found APV through a Google search. And found APV to be more than 5 Star.The owner, Terry, is warm individual with a great sense of humor. And as a photographer he is a Craftsman. The professionalism and quality of his work is exceptional. I’d recommend Terry / APV to anyone for Passport photos as well as family or business photos. APV is The BestArthur C
I had an extremely positive experience with APV photos. I had been trying to get photos for a Canadian green card, and Walgreens and other stores like it we’re unable to figure out the size of the photo or other differences between American passport photos. I called ahead, and when I arrived, the owner had all the documentation for the dimensions, and was very familiar with all sorts of country requirements. He’s also a really nice guy, and helped me out fast. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
I had my Canadian passport photos done here - then the notary at a local bank made a mistake while notarizing the back of the photos which meant I needed a new set of photos. The owner Terry provided me a new set of photos for free when he saw the error the notary made. I just received my Canadian passport today without any issues. This is the guy you want to go to for Canadian citizenship certificate and Canadian passport photos. Great service all around!
Great place, extremely friendly. Had my Canadian passport photos done quickly and easily.
Awesome place. Visited very recently, and the gentleman working there is very funny, good with kids, and an overall amazing guy. Very knowledgeable about world culture, and geography. You can tell he is very enthusiastic about what he does. Please go here to support this buisness. Thanks!
I needed photos for a Canadian passport renewal...in Dallas. If you need a foreign passport photo, just come here. Dont even bother looking anywhere else. Terry is so good at what he does. Perfect service.
Best passport photo I’ve ever had. The owner is an Irving local, and he has been in business at his location for 28 years.We high-fived over great the picture came out.Super nice and funny guy! Thanks again for the quick service. I will refer anyone I know getting passport pictures done to come here.
The guy is so helpful, friendly and funny. True professional!
Highly recommend! APV Studios takes the stress out of passport photos. I hate taking pictures and my last passport pic (taken at the post office) was a disaster I had to live with for 10 years. The photographer here was super friendly and knowledgeable. I was done in 15 mins and walked out with a pretty picture!!
Excellent customer service.
If you need your passport photo taken, this is an excellent place with a very friendly guy who knew exactly what was needed for my New Zealand online passport application. Well worth going to instead of the usual pharmacies, as the quality of the photo is far superior. I drove all the way from Fort Worth to this place, and have no regrets!
Wonderful man with great service. He knows everything about the photo requirements of different countries. Just visit here and be fine.
This guy knows what hes doing. My passport photo quality is professional and only took around 5 minutes. The person is very friendly and hospitable. He kept me entertained the whole time I was there. This is the only place where you should get your photo taken. The service quality definitely worth the price.
Picture quality is great 👍🏼, service is superb and the guy is very nice... happy and very patient. Will recommend this place to all.
Cash only! Great studio, Terry is very funny, personable, and knowledgeable about passport/immigration photo requirements. Prices are on a sheet under the glass counter at the front. Best passport photos Ive had taken!
After long time I have seen a truly happy person👌👍 Guy is truly professional in his work, very precise. Fun loving and good with kids in his sense of humor.. We would like to go again if we get a chance .... Keep up the good work buddy ....
Very timely. Very accurate. Very friendly. Its a shame I wont go there for another 10 years.
I went to three different places before and no one could get me a digital passport when I should have gone here first. The owner is welcoming, personable and quite funny. Loved my experience and best passport photos.
Terry at APV studio is an expert of the passport pictures of all countries. He is very easy to get hold off even after hours. I needed pictures for visas of Singapore and Malaysia and the specs are very different. Terry seems to know how to get them right.
This man is extremely knowledgeable about all kinds of official documents requirement no matter what country you are seeking for
The guy personally is very nice and helpful. However, the price is a little too high. What I did not understand is that they were charging $38 for a digital copy. They dont have to waste a single piece of paper or a single drop of ink for a digital copy. It would be better if digital copies were cheaper.
Went in for passport photos, got exactly what we needed with fantastic customer service.
If you are looking for immigration photographs (especially Canadian PR photos) in Dallas, then this is the place to go ! They know all the dimensions and measurements required (from memory) and will double check with you to make sure all the requirements are met!Oh and don’t forget to ask about his currency collection, he has some fascinating currencies from around the world to entertain you while the photo is printed.And make sure you bring cash, they don’t accept cards.
I had a very good experience. The photographer is really nice n detail oriented. He took extra measures to make sure our photos r compliant to canada PR requirementThe guy is a very friendly and interesting character
Great customer service. He knows what to do. Fast service.
Awesome place to get photos done for Canadian Passport. Dimensions were perfect which meant no problems and a quick return. The owner is super friendly and quick too! Definitely go here. :)
The guy taking the pictures was hilarious, and he made sure all the measurements were correct before asking for payment. He also date-stamped and address-stamped the photos as required by the Canadian passport agency. I will gladly return here the next time I need passport photos.
The guy who owns this business has a very endearing personality which was great for me because, being a little camera shy, it helped me feel at ease. Since this was my first passport photo I wasnt sure what shirt to wear so I brought 2 extra just in case. He helped me pick out one that would work best and sat me for the photo. He quickly adjusted my posture so I was standing straight and easily got me to smile for the photo. It took no more than 5 minutes for him to go print the photos out and cut them to size. I was honestly surprised how well they came out and very happy with the whole deal, which was quick. All on the first take too.
Really great experience getting my photos for Permanent Residence application for Canada! He was very friendly, efficient, and very knowledgable. Hes the place to go for Canada passport photos, or any country, for that matter, as he will get it right! Worth every penny! You get what you pay for.Did I make an appointment?I called right before I went, he answered right away. He was very helpful and courteous. Told him I was on my way. I had a great experience, so Id definitely recommend him for any passport or immigration picture, etc. needs for any country or situation as he is very knowledgeable and will get it right--worth the price! (Though I didnt make an appt per se.)
We loved our photo session here. Quick and perfect. Guy is humorous and fun to work with. Highly recommend.
I needed to get my photos taken for a Canadian proof of citizenship, and this was hands down the best place to go! The owner is very friendly and precise, and even showed me how the pictures were to a T according to the specifications. I would highly recommend this place for anybody who needs special/international photos done. Thanks Terry, you the man!
This is by far the best photo taking experience I have ever had. The owner is very knowledgeable and professional but also incredibly friendly and funny. The service is quick, and the photo quality is great.Also, the store is full of random goods (like shampoo and toothpaste) that you can buy while youre there. (Im not sure why. I didnt ask.) I cant speak for the competitiveness of the photo pricing (because I dont get my picture taken often), but the prices on the random household items are very good.So if you happen to need to restock on household items and get your picture taken at the same time or if you are someone who appreciates a good laugh, friction free service, and good photos, this is the best place to go.
CANADIAN CITIZENS COME HERE!!! This guy is CRAZY good!!! I drove everywhere in the Dallas/Ft Worth area and spent a lot of money and hours to only be let down with the quality of service and photos. Then I came to APV Studios and got me a perfect photo within minutes!!! He has been doing this for over 25 years and has NEVER had a photo rejected!! Dont waste your time anywhere else and come here!!
$35 for 2 passport photos!!! We were thrilled to find a place that would do Canadian passport photos in Dallas. Honestly we wouldnt mind paying $20. But $35 is just ridiculous and humiliating for something Costco would do for $6.99. It clearly took no skill or time to do. There was no sign on the wall to show the fees. It was all cash and no receipt. I feel ripped off, even though the man was very polite and pleasant to deal with. Also, this place was a hole in the wall!
Great place to take any kind of pictures. The owner is very nice and friendly person. I recommended people to try that place and you will not regret it.
Amazing service.Best photography ever....Definitely recommend everyone.
Super fast... in 5 mins the job is done...
APV is the best place to get your passport photo done he takes the photo professionally and he is very friendly and nice makes you feel real comfortable. He is up to date about the requirements that the passport needs. And the pictures are much better than Walgreens or CVS.
I went here in 2011 to get a Canadian Passport photo. When I had previously gone to CVS, they used a cheap camera, the girl seemed like she didnt care about the job. The picture was excellent.Thats why I came back with my wife for her to get her Canadian passport photo and my Naturalization photo.The guy that works here is very friendly and knowledgeable. He knows all the photo requirements and uses proper equipment.Dont be turned off because he sells stuff in the front of the store. It has no bearings on his photography abilities. Will go back here again and again, even though its a long drive where I now live.
The first and only place to get a good photo done and also get to have a digital copy!!I needed a digital passport copy which none of the stores were ready to give. Still i went ahead and got a print at CVS but the photo was so bad. I looked like i came out of the hospital after ten days!!When scanned it looked worse. Thats when my husband found this studio online. We went there and got our digitals and two copies too... a bit pricey but well worth it!!The service is great and you definitely wont forget the visit to this studio. You will find yourself smiling for days after....I rarely write reviews but this place really deserves being mentioned!
Very nice, my family has been using APV for years for our Canadian passport photos and they always turn out great.
I loved it. I got good pictures and The owner is soooooooooooooo funny and really friendly. Dont go anywhere else you need to come here
This guy knows his stuff and keep me laughing the whole time! Went in for UK passport photos, he knew all the requirements and even took out a ruler after the photos printed to show me that the dimensions matched the guidelines. I think the prices are fine, especially when you consider that it will cost you more in postage fees to send a second set of photos when regular drug store photographers mess up. This guy will get it right the first time!
Great place for a picture ! The owner is super nice and friendly and he makes sure you are getting the right picture for the right visa. Service is fast ..Picture quality is exactly how it should be.Highly recommended ! Never go to to cvs or Walmart for visa related pictures !
Great work by Superman. Good quality pictures, great and honest character!
Really friendly and helpful service. He has all the information for different visas and he makes sure you are getting the right one. If I need a new picture Ill go back there.
Great experience. Extremely friendly. Knows his stuff and will take your photo to the exact specifications. Dont mess around with places like CVS or Walgreens. If youve ever had a photo rejected, you know what a hassle it is. APV will make you confident that your photo meets all required specifications.
Excellent service. Very patient working with babies. Needed baby pictures for Canadian citizenship and passport, photographer was knowledgable as to the exact requirements.
Even if you dont like your picture taken, you are in for a treat with this photographer. The studio is near my work so it is convenient and entertaining to get pics taken. He took a set for my passport renewal last month and I saw him this week to get another set for a visa. I’ll probably be back soon for a LinkedIn headshot. Just a couple dollars more (literally $4 more than the pharmacy) but the quality and clarity of the pictures is well worth it.
This photographer is Epic! Great Canadian passport photos. Thx!
Great bloke, very fun and very professional. $35 for non rejected passport photos. Thats a bargain in any language.
Photos were absolutely awesome....and owner was funny! Who would have thought going to take a passport photo, could be fun?!
You will get100% what your looking for!In my case I’m looking Canada visa photo.For quality we have to pay bit more.
This is the place to go for passport photos. The owner took a really great picture of me, which is basically impossible.
Fast, and very friendly, will be back when its time to renew passport, best part is that he walked thru the requirements for the photos with a ruler and made sure they were proper.
Excellent pictures, a very friendly person with high quality results in his work. I will recommend him, those who like quality pictures.
Very quick and knowledgeable to Visa specific photography need. definitely recommend for Canadian visa...
We wanted Perfection and we got it! Humor and Photography at one place.
I was desperate trying to get last minute passport photos for my 7 month old. Going to Wal-Mart and CVS was a waste of my time. I must admit. I was at first sceptical going here but Im soooo glad I did. This guy is amazing. Super friendly and knows his stuff. He made the most beautiful passport photos. Will definitely go here again.
Excellent experience!!! I went to CVS and Walgreens without success. The gentleman here knew exactly what to do for my Canadian PR pictures, he even had the documentation with the required specifications for the pictures. If I had used the ones from CVS or Walgreens they would have been incorrect. Save yourself the stress and come here. Thank you so much!!
Great place for visa photos.. will never go to Walmart or cvs again
Excellent service .. the man is genius and patient and knows what he is doing .. great place .. 10 outta 10 ..
Very friendly customer service and the pictures were very good quality thank you very much
Great experience and he takes his time to do the best pictures
Quick, friendly service. Maybe not the cheapest, $30 for 2 photos (for Schengen Visa)
Excellent Service and very friendly customer service. Thank you.
Excellent Service and the best place for passport size photos!! Thank you!!
Awesome place to get a good picture.
The best 👍
Easy and quick passport photo, very friendly!
Awesome, professional and fun
