Reviews of The Village Studio (Photo Studio)

Julie Reid

The staff are amazing. Super friendly and personable. We were in and out quickly with beautiful pictures. Heads up on the cost though. Passport photos were quite pricey.

In and out very quickly with a 1 month old. The photographer is obviously great with babies and very comfortable with them, and is able to comfort them and position them quickly and efficiently to get the pictures needed. Price was about $41 for passport photos, plus we got a free little calendar photo included. Will be coming here from now on.

Highly recommended for baby passport photos. It's a tricky task, and they were both helpful and highly professional.

I recently visited The Village Studio to get my professional photograph taken for work. I was extremely impressed by the service and quality provided by Randy. He was friendly and knowledgeable. At the end he provided me with a photo that I could use for work. I would definitely recommend The Village Studio.

Jeanette Hunt

We had a great experience getting our family photos taken here. We were also very happy that there is an actual studio to visit, as that can be difficult to find in Calgary. Randy was both professional and easy to work with. He had some great ideas and was also open to other suggestions. Will definitely be returning.

Great food! Loved it.

40 bucks for 2 lousy passport pics? Ouch. Nice to tell me after the fact... when I was in a state of shock. Paying confused and embarrassed. The pic sucks and I could of had steak or fed a village. Next time place warning -Most Expensive Passport Pics Ever. Andel Adams makes less than that per minute.

I was SO impressed with Randy at Village Studio! I just brought my 2 year old in for passport photos and I was sooo worried she would cry or smile or toddler tantrum or any of the above. Randy was SO great he got her picture no problem and it’s better than I could have ever expected! What a fantastic experience! He was also super accommodating with trying to find a time that worked best for us to come! Highly recommend!

Always feels good to support local businesses! For passport photos they charge the same as Walmart but this way you get to support Canadian businesses versus corporate bad guys.

Just brought my 6 week old in for a passport photo today and they got it in the first shot while she was crying! so quick, only took a few minutes and you were both so lovely and professional. Thank You.

My wife and I popped in for quick passport photos and were delighted by the quality of the photos themselves, as well as the experience. We have already recommended the Village Studio to others and will most certainly use them for professional photos for business websites, as well as family portraits. Excellent job!

The photographer who took a passport photo of my 7 month old baby was great. It was quick, he's awesome with babies and seemed like a friendly person. I would definitely go there again!

Lyndon Jacak

Very good experience and great staff. This studio is the place to go for infant passport photos.

My grad photos turned out so well and I was able to do them on short notice; a lot of effort was put in to make sure they turned out great. Two weeks after my photo session, I found out that my school required different formatting. I asked if I could edit the background and formatting without having to take new photos and my photos were re-edited and the background photoshopped within a few hours and sent back to me. I can't recommend the studio & owners enough. Super responsive and friendly people.

We have brought both our daughters here to get their passport photos at one month of age. These guys are pros. We had the shot we needed within 15 seconds. They cost a bit more but it's worth every penny. They can make the picture sizes for different country requirements. As our daughters are dual citizen they can print pictures that work for both US and Canada easily.

Caro Can

Hidden costs, ridiculous price for pictures. Poor customer service and rude owner. Not recommended. Don't get pictures what ordered.

Matt Taylor

We recently took our 6 week old twins to the Village Studio to have their passport photos taken. They were recomended by Black's Photography believe it or not. The experience was amazing! Randy was a true professional and the pictures turned out to be perfect. Furthermore, the next day at the passport office, the woman at the booth even acknowledged that The Village Studio was the best place to get baby passport pictires taken. She went on to say that Walmart has a 60% fail rate when it comes to passport photos. Go to the Village Studio, you will not be disappointed!

Faisal Asaad

Very friendly, very professional.... I would give them 7 stars if I could

I went here for a grad photo and I had the best experience with this studio. I was very luck to have him as my photographer. He was kind to help me out with everything that I needed. Not to mention how fast the photos were ready the next day. This studio is the best bang for your buck! Very professional yet friendly at the same time. I even learned a lot from him about cameras. Thank you so much!

I am thoroughly impressed with Village Photography! I went there for passport photos for my 5 month old and was finished in no time! The staff are highly skilled and know how to take an acceptable passport photo. So glad I went there!! Worth every penny!!

Jessica Karnes

Just had our 6 week old babies passport photo done at the village studio and it was amazing after a horrible experience we had at another place. It was quick and our baby was happy. Best thing for a scared new mom was that they washed their hands before they touched him and handled him with love. I highly recommend them!!

Alireza Sojoudi

Excellent place. Very professional staff. They took care of everything from prepping the baby to taking photos. Only took three shots to have an eye open photo of our 12 days old girl.

Melissa Fobert

After being recommended by AMA, we took our 4.5 month old daughter to The Village Studio to have her passport photos taken. We couldn't believe how quick and stress free the whole process was. Not only were the photos taken within minutes but the prints were done while we waited. Saving us from having to go back later. The staff were so personable and made us feel very welcome. Our daughter took to them right away when she usually cries around strangers. We will definitely tell everyone about The Village Studio.

Luz Mendoza

I always go to this place for pictures, recently i was there to get my baby's passport picture and it was so quick and very well done . Love this place and always recommend it to my friends. i will be there this coming week again:)

Tracy Evans

Took my one month old baby girl l for her passports photo. They were amazing with her, studio is very clean and comfortable!

Norma Casuga

On the weekend, we had a family portrait session at the Village Studio. There were 9 of us including a one year old and two teenagers. We requested for many photo shoots with different participants on each shoot. Randall was very patient and accommodating to our requests. And he was amazing with the one year old who he kept giggling and laughing. We have not seen the pictures yet, but I trust that when Randall gives it his professional touch, we'll all look good. ????

Anna Klippert

So good with the kids for Passport photos and GREAT work on the cake smash shoot. Highly recommend

Best place for children passport photos. The whole experience was fantastic and looking forward to booking our daughters first birthday cake smash here

I had a great experience having passport photos taken of my 4 month old. It took longer to start Frozen on the TV for my toddler than to get the photos done! Thanks for the painless appointment!

Roxi Osborne

Awesome experience, Randy is a delight to deal with, Very professional. Highly recommend them!!

Blondynka w Kanadzie

Overpaid I don’t recommend to anyone !!

Elizabeth W

Great passport photos for infants- somehow managed to get our 3 month old child's attention and got the right shot!

Lucie Galeja

Affordable prices, great service, excellent customer service

Jacob Kroon

Fantastic experience. After going to Shoppers for a passport photo and having to argue with the staff that the Red-eye effect was not acceptable for the passports, and still not walking out with an acceptable photo. Village studio was extremely refreshing. The staff there was very personable and the photo turned out great, it only took about 5 minutes total too with no appointment.

Krista Comfort

This is the place to go for infant passport photos. I have gone here with my last two children when they were newborns. They are able to get the shot they need in less than a minute. Very friendly and kind people. An overal great experience. The hot chocolate for me and my toddler while we waited didn’t hurt either ????. It is more expensive for passport photos, but I felt I was paying for their expertise in infant passport photography. I’ve had passport photos rejected before for another of my children, and that is a real hassle!

Adrian Codirenzi

Went there to get a photo taken for my gun license, in and out in less than 5 minutes! Very friendly staff, and great service.

Anna Charlton

Great place for infant passport photos. Was referred by AMA and they were great with my little one. They knew different techniques of getting my 4 week old to look straight ahead for the picture. Highly recommended.

Rachael Terner

Fantastic for newborn passport photos - they were so patient and kind, which was much appreciated as a new mom in a stressful situation!

Anne D

This is a great place to get passport photos done. Fast, inexpensive and professional the photographers make you feel welcome and get the correct pose, usually in one take. Young or old they can get even a passport photo to look good - none to easy a feat. They also offer custom portraits. It may be worth checking this studio out for any of your photography needs. I highly recommended their photos and atmosphere.

Jay Feaver

Did a great passport photo of my infant. Very kind competent and professional.

Saskia Scrimshaw

Very professional, yet personable staff. My 2.5 month old daughter had her passport picture taken in seconds. The hassle-free experience and guaranteed high quality of the picture are well worth the price!

Paula Miles

The service was wonderful and not only did they do an efficient job of taking my baby’s passport photo, Randy made me feel completely at home and made me a mocha! It made my day.

Absolutely amazing! My daughter's passport photos were done here when she was 6 months old (turned out perfectly) and we just had her cake smash which was even better! The staff here are as fantastic as their photos, quality and pricing are excellent. Thanks so much!
