Amazing place! I had found a couple of old disposables and I forgot what was on them. I was so excited to get them developed I felt like I couldn't wait! I was referred by a friend who spoke very highly of them, so I called Total Photo. I spoke to a woman who was extremely patient and helpful and kind. They are extremely efficient and streamlined in their services. My photos were developed in 1 business day in great quality. They have a great setup to drop off the film; it took me less than 3 minutes. All I had to do was fill out an envelope with my contact information and the media type I wanted the photos to be processed in, put the film in, and put it in a box. The next day I got an invoice; 10 minutes after I filled out the invoice I got my download link. Super easy and fast. I will be referring everyone I know here and I will be coming here for all my photo needs. read more

My wife and I have had numerous photos enlarged and printed at Total Photo. They have also created and bound travel photo albums for us. Their work is always excellent. I recently ordered two puzzles made from photographs, and could not be happier with the results! Christina and Tom are very easy to communicate and work with, and I highly recommend them. read more

I got my Canadian passport photo done here. Service was very fast and quick and friendly. In fact the woman helping me even knew the Canadian passport photo requirements without me even telling her. She said that they probably do as many Canadian passport photos as they do American. I was in and out in about 10 minutes. I just received my Canadian passport from FedEx as well. Obviously there were no problems from the Canadian government's point of view. Fast, friendly service along with a perfect passport photo, what's there not to like? read more

Christina was amazing in helping me get enlarged photos of my Father for his memorial service, same day. I had been out of town the previous week and was leaving the next day to be in attendance of said memorial and I completely forgot about the enlargement that I needed. Well, Christina came to the rescue and was super helpful in getting me what I needed in short order. Thanks again Total Photo for your help! read more

I got my Canadian passport photo taken here a few weeks ago. It was a pretty basic process where you stand against a white wall and they use a special camera (no cheapo point and shoot) which allows them to take passport photos to specification. The whole thing took less than 10 minutes. I think this place may be a little pricier than most (check prices on their website) but it was worth it because my application didn't get rejected. I received my passport in the mail last week and the photo looks decent. read more

The staff was so sweet and I was so impressed with the quality and service. 10/10 recommend this place and am very thankful to have found it! read more

Canadians in the San Diego area requiring photos for your passport, get them here! If you've read Passport Canada's requirements for photos then you know they're picky. The gentleman I dealt with at Foto Finish Digital made me perfect photos with the correct dimensions in 15 minutes and had a stamp for the back (I don't know whether US passports also have the requirement of a stamp). The LA consulate refers Canadians in San Diego to this company, and I can see why. According to Passport Canada itself, 48% of applications from the US get rejected due to unacceptable photos. Avoid heartbreak, go to Foto Finish Digital. read more

I needed Canadian passport photos for my 2 year old daughter. I phoned beforehand to make sure that they are OK with a toddler. Having confirmed that it is not a problem, we showed up. The person took the pictures then cut it to the Canadian specifications. I sent the old passport, application form and photo off to Canada with Fedex, a $35.00 expense. It was returned to me in about 10 days, as the photo was unacceptable as the background had the chair in it. The white background screen does not reach low enough and my daughter had to stand on a chair. The backrest of the chair showed up on the picture! Clearly they never photographed a toddler before and their only interest was to get me there! Obviously the high price ($18.00) reflects their incompetence and not their knowledge. I had to go back (15 miles drive each way and about 30 minutes) to get my money back. I took the photos with me and my money was refunded. If there was such a thing as a zero rating, that is what I would give. They are expensive and do not even do the job properly! read more

Poor customer service. The owners are actually the culprit! They hire friendly staff but on my last (now final) visit I was left to work with them. The female owner is an ice princess--not friendly and actually condescending! I live close by, but no need to put up with poor service and attitude when there are friendly and expert comprable businesses in the area. Her demeanor so bad I walked out! I took my business to Encinitas Photo Center and they were awesome!!. They were friendly and I relied on their expertise and advice and the results were perfect! read more

I love this place... Family owned and I always get high-quality pictures very quickly with reasonable pricing. Not to mention the owners go over and beyond to provide exceptional service. read more

I needed my Canadian passport photo. They new exactly what was needed. Effecient friendly service. I was in and out in 10min.

I couldn't have asked for a more professional, incredibly friendly,intuitive and caring couple to make a better video for our son's wedding reception. They made a wonderful memory keepsake for our families...we recommend them and thank them from the bottom of our hearts. read more

Tom and Christina at Total Photo are superb. We've used their very professional services for multiple birthday/anniversary party posters and enlarged photos for a celebration of life. Tom has also cropped and improve the quality of my photos. We appreciate their fast turn-around time. They also sell a unique photo 'block' (wood and acrylic) that I've given as gifts - and the recipients love them! Glad to support this local business! read more

We are so pleased with the work we requested at Total Photo in Solana Beach by Carls' Jr. Wonderful customer service and right before Christmas.

I promised Tom, the owner, that if my Canadian passport renewal application went smoothly, I'd write a glowing review. It did! Tom was meticulous when taking the passport photo, snapping, printing, checking against the Canadian regulations, until he and I were satisfied. Knowing that I would be without passport in a foreign country for as long as it took the Canadian government to send a new one, and unable to leave the country, I was nervous about the photo being rejected and this prolonging the process. Tom's attention to detail inspired confidence, and my renewed passport arrived in less than the 20 business days stated on the government web site! P. S. I mostly chose to go to Solana Beach instead of downtown San Diego, where I knew of a highly recommended shop specializing in foreign passport photos, because I didn't want to deal with the I-5 traffic or downtown parking. Foto Finish Digital is located in a mall with plenty of free parking. I'm glad I found Tom and this shop. read more

I came here for my Canadian passport photo. I wear glasses and everywhere I got they ask me to take off to prevent glare. For me I want my passport photo to have my glasses so I don't have to take them off every time I'm at airport custom. They were ok with me not taking off my glasses. In the end, my photos were accepted and I got my passport. Satisfied! read more

To me, As a striving photographer artist, The quality of the print is so important that going with anything of than top quality is a waste of time and money.

So if quality is a must, like it is for me, this place is the best! read more

This place is all about the service and quality. Tom will come through every time. Again, for the SD Fair Photo contest, I was racing around, and he remained calm and did everything I needed and more. he spends time working with you on size and color so your print will come out just how you want it. I can always rely on Total Photo to do everything that needs to be done in a timely manner. read more

I'm from the LCC speech and debate team, and Total Photo's service for our team has been exceptional in their pricing and services.

Overall, total photo is the place to go for any of your trophy needs, and I would VERY highly recommend them. read more
