Chula Vista Photo Studio

Needed a passport photo for Australia. no worries they can knock it out.
would give them 5 stars for friendliness but photographer not there when I wanted pic

I needed a business headshot and I needed it quickly. I called the Chula Vista Photo Studio and they were able to offer me a choice of appointment times. I showed up early and asked about the price and how soon I could take delivery of the photo. I was very happy with the price, but the standard delivery time was past my deadline (I need to plan better next time). The lady behind the counter explained to me that I could pay a little extra and have my order available the next day. I agreed.
I was told that I could change in the dressing room. A small room with several mirrors, hooks for clothes and simple vanity lighting. After I changed I then walked into the enormous photography studio. Against the back wall were backdrop screens. The lighting was on rails and could be quickly maneuvered to get the best effect and the camera was also on a rolling tripod. I sat on a stool and was treated with respect as the photographer helped me to obtain the best poses and encouraged me to smile. Behind the photographer I could see his editing station and racks of tuxedos (I guess for graduation /​wedding photos).
After the session I changed back into my street clothes and went out front. The lady behind the counter told me that I could look through the photos that were just taken and pick the one I liked best. This only took a few minutes and eventually I found a shot that I was happy with. I would have been content to take the photo with me at that time, but I was told that they would call me when it was ready.
Imagine my surprise when I got a call a few hours later and was told that the photo was ready. I could come down to the shop and pick up a CD with the image on it. I picked up the CD and thanked them for the quick processing. I was surprised when I looked at the image on the CD. Not only was it the image that I had selected, it had been expertly (and gently) retouched. forehead wrinkles, puffy eyes, blemishes and even a scar had been adroitly removed, leaving me looking younger and refreshed.
I would definitely recommend.

I am very happy with Chula Vista Photo Studio. My son had his senior pictures taken here and they turned out great!!!
Everyone was friendly and helpful. They made the process go very smoothly and painlessly. Will definitely be back!

I came here the other day with my friend so that he could get a passport photo taken. It was a small, quaint studio with moderately helpful staff, though they weren’t particularly welcoming. I made sure to look at the photos on display and was not impressed. There was a large section of the wall for graduation portraits, but were all the same picture. not quite sure what they were going for unless this kid was home-​schooled and insisted on still getting a yearbook.
I expected there to be a separate room for the pictures to be taken but my friend’s was shot right at the front. I’m sure there is another room, but what if someone wasn’t comfortable with having their picture taken for everyone to watch?
The photo itself came out better than what CVS or Costco does; proper proportions with clear lines and bold colors. But then again, how difficult is it to take a 2×2 passport photo.
