Helpful Suggestions

Please follow these guidelines for a great portrait:

1.  What not to wear: gridded or checked patterns, fine lines or silky fabric, sleeveless blouses.
2.  Make-up is not recommended as it will reflect light differently than your skin and may appear as color splotches.
3.  Wear your glasses if that is how you will be recognized. However, make sure that the lenses are clean.

International and child passports:

1.  Many countries are standardizing passport photo specifications. However, due to heightened security measures that all countries are enforcing, it is always best to check your country’s passport photo specifications from a reliable source and bring them with you.
2. Children’s photos, especially those of infants, are often difficult to take at home while maintaining the necessary standards needed.
3.  Families are welcome; no need to be OHSU-affiliated.
4.  Appointments are recommended. Please call 503 494-8040.
