Scheduled an appointment for a US passport photo and a Canadian citizenship photo. The owner/photographer was extremely knowledgeable and eager to share that knowledge to help my daughter and myself. He was also patient and amenible when scheduling. I would highly recommend. read more

Went to this studio for Canadian Citizenship photos. This was the only place which I could find that seemed to know the requirements. The owner was very patient and knowledgable about exactly what was needed. He even provided an additional set in case we had any issues and said to come back if necessary. He was very patient taking the photos as there were 3 of us. i am sending all my family there for there photos. Great and stress free experience. read more

I just went with my daughter to get our passport photos taken. Joe was friendly and the pictures came out great. We will definitely be back for some more photographs. read more

Absolutely fantastic! We needed photos for our Canadian citizenship application for the kids. Joe was awesome - he has all the setup required to get the photos just right, and was super careful and clearly took his time to make sure the photos meet all of the Canadian requirements! Highly recommended! read more

Needed Canadian passport photos for my daughter - got that done with no issues. Needed a digital photo for my son's Canadian citizenship photo, got the photo sent to my email. Used to go to Mathilde's in back bay , but her place closed. This is a good find - very friendly. Will go here from now on! read more

Had my Canadian passport photo taken here. This is one of the studios that know the exact requirements. Photo was accepted.

Best service I have ever had! Mr. Marfione saved the day today - I found him through this app and as soon as I arrived to his shop and started talking to him, I immediately knew I was in great hands! Professional manner, immediate help, very broad knowledge of any type of a picture including legal pictures (passport, visa etc.). I can only recommend him if you need the best service. I am more than satisfied, thank you Mr. Marfione! read more

Have been coming here for passport photos with my family for over 25 years. Joe is excellent and super friendly.

I got my 3-month-old daughter's passport photo done here. Pro: Quick in and out. Con: I went to a real photography studio thinking I'd get a better photograph, and that's exactly *not* what happened! The man working didn't have a sheet to lay her on--instead he had me hold her sitting up on something vaguely like a music stand, about five feet in front of a blank screen in a very dim room. He then did some quick photoshopping to make the picture brighter (why he didn't just turn the lights on in the room, I have no idea). It's not a flattering photo of my kid (she's all slumped, because she's not old enough to sit up yet), and there's a grey dot right in the middle of her forehead from dirt on the camera sensor. All this for the underwhelming price of $20. I wish now I'd done it myself--I've got a professional dSLR and a great portrait lens; I just thought it'd be a pain to find somewhere to print a color photo. :P read more

Joe was very nice and helpful in taking my Canadian passport photo! He was also super funny - which was a plus! :D Would highly recommend

Came over because it's a certified place to have my photo taken for Canadian passport. Had a chat with him throughout the process and found out he is a certified photographer to take passport photo for many other countries. oh, and his passport photo works. I receive Canadian passport after I mail the entire package a few weeks ago. I will come back again. It's hard to find a good photograph for Canadian passport photo in the Boston area. read more

I requested services for a digital passport application for Ireland. I had an earlier very positive experience for more a conventional passport photo request. Again, Mr.Marfione was on top of his game, knew regulations, etc. Would totally recommend his services. read more

I had my Canadian passport photo taken here and they did an absolutely meticulous job (the photo specifications are tricky!). No wonder they have been in business for 40 years and going. Highly recommend! read more

Joe is the nicest photographer in town. He is also THE place to go for passport photo. He knows all the requirements of different countries and you will be just it will be not rejected. I went to Hunt's a months ago to have Canadian passport photo taken and only it was rejected by the office a month later of not meeting the standard. I was forced to find someone else and I am so glad to find Marfione. They are approved by the consulate, whether it is Canadian, Irish, Brazilian, or even Chinese. Thanks Joe. read more

Quick in and out, and the owner clearly knows what he is doing. If you are tired of drugstore passport photos taken by a cheap camera (seriously, even your cellphone can do a better job), then give this place a try. read more

I was referred to this studio after having my newly made passport photos from another studio being rejected by the Irish Consulate because they did not meet that country's requirements, Owner was extremely knowledgeable, concerned with detail and accuracy. Aware of most countries' requirements. On street metered parking. Easy to get to location. read more

Excellent quality work. Uses all the latest techniques to give you the best images in photography and videography. Your Wedding Day memories are told in a story through his professional editing, music and special effects. I highly recommend Joe for all your Photography/Videography needs. read more

I confirmed by email that the studio would be open on Saturday morning and set out to get my passport photos taken. Because of the snow it took me a while to get from Arlington to Somerville and then I had to circle and park several blocks away because of the snow. After all that, despite the notices in the window that their Saturday opening hours were 10 - 5, they were closed. Not professional! read more

Excellent place for a passport photo. We took our 21 month old daughter there for her passport mug shot and they did a super job. They even used photoshop a little to fix it. The only service we used was 5 minutes for a passport pic. read more

Recently I had passport photos taken at the studio. It was a great experience. The owner Joe is a real pro on requirements for passports and visas! And he even made me look good! Why go into Boston when this is such a great service and convenient! read more

What a lovely person and wonderful photographer. Went in for passport photo -- I am terribly photo shy -- and Mr. Marfione's photo made me look quite presentable. Highly Recommend -- he told me he was celebrating his 35th year in business in Somerville -- BUY LOCAL! read more

Joe does some excellent quality work. I hired him for video projects and to do my passport photos. He's friendly, honest, very knowledgeable, and he's got the right equipment for the job. Joe doesn't mess around! read more
