A bad Passport Photo can haunt you for several years afterwards. Here are some tips and tricks to have a passport photo taken and not cringe every time you look at it.

• Try to keep hair a simple full style that will not cast shadows on your face.

• Don’t wear white or cream or very pale pastels clothes; Stick with flattering shades bright, vibrant colors or a crisp navy blue.

• Keep your makeup shades natural and matte for the most part. Don’t forget the lips.

• The most important rule for all… call into us at Lifestyle Photography to get that professional Passport taken. We promise that you will leave us with that perfect passport photo.

Two kids that i stumbled across on my travels around Cambodia in January this year. It was an amazing place that only pictures can really describe and the poverty in which they live in was indescribable, having said that the majority of children we had encountered were happy in there everyday coming and going, it also made me think that maybe i was the one living in real poverty.

I hope you all like this years Christmas window because we love it, i think it represents everything i love about photography from young fun right through to trendy teen and not to mention family groups. We had a balloon theme in november and also teen trends so we got so many cool shots that we could have used however we had to narrow it down to the six we thought worked together as a window display. I would like to thank all the customers whom contributed and hope you enjoy all your portraits for many years to come. Merry Christmas.
