A quick and easy way to get an excellent passport photo - especially if it's for an International one! Finding parking is probably the only potential issue, but I was lucky enough to find street parking the day of my appointment so had no problem. The studio is small, but cozy and quiet. It's professional without being intimidating. read more

I have never had a professional headshot taken before. Seemed like a lot of fuss and money for something that a friend with an iphone could take care of. But after talking about it with a few colleagues, I decided to give Adonis a try. The 30 minute session was super easy. The website gave me some tips going on outfits. I brought options in. Kristin tested out options, ultimately settling on two looks and one outfit. I couldn't believe we got it all done in 30 minutes! Adonis gave me a bunch of shots to pick from, and then touched up my final choice. In the first month of having the photo, I found three uses for it. So Adonis gave me the professional advice, studio experience, and efficiency I needed to make this a very worthwhile endeaovor. read more

Kristin was so lovely to work with, I have gone back again! I initially booked time with Kristin to have non-US passport photos taken, and I really wanted the measurements to be correct (which I didn't trust CVS to necessarily get right the first time). Despite it just being a passport photo, Kristin took the time to make sure it looked great - I have never had such a nice looking photo for an ID! Because of her expertise, Kristin was able to get an excellent shot quickly by asking me to make small adjustments. Her attention to detail is excellent - she noticed one of my earrings was rotated so we could fix it for the shot. After that great first experience, I went back for new professional headshots. The ones I'd gotten through work were mediocre at best, and was excited to have a set of new options that I actually liked. Kristin definitely delivered - I appreciate her bringing all her experience to the table, giving me different options, and giving me directions. I also was grateful for her opinions and perspectives as we went through the shots - given that she's seen a million photos at this point, I valued her take. I can't say enough great things - has been an excellent experience working with Kristin, I absolutely adore my new photos, and I look forward to going back next time read more

Usually, getting my picture taken isn't all that fun a thing to do, and passport photos are notoriously hard to get to look good, but Kristin at Adonis took a photo I am really happy with. She also was very hospitable and helpful regarding my folding bike, which I rode down to the studio. She and her assistant came down to the building lobby to meet me, which made bringing my bike in trouble-free. Altogether, my experience was 100% positive. read more

Why did we waste $40 at Walgreens and not come to Adonis first?! Lesson learned. Great service, communication and product. Passports last for 10 years. Too long to not have a great photo. Worth the investment. read more

Having conducted hours of research, I satisfied myself that Adonis Photography was the only business in the Puget Sound area that could guarantee compliance with European Union requirements for passport photos. Whether or not there are other such businesses in the area, Adonis Photography came through for me spectacularly, as the issuance of my brand new Austrian EU passport with their photos confirms. Every aspect of their operation that I encountered was thoroughly professional. As I was in the studio, I noticed that they had a binder of spec sheets for a large number of foreign countries, clearly reflecting that they had thoroughly done their research. They also closely examined additional specs that I had brought with me. They were assiduously motivated to make sure that their product matched my needs, and they gave me every opportunity to confirm that for myself before I left. This is not a bargain basement shop, so don't come here if price is your sole criterion. However, you are going to get what you pay for at this business. If you need any kind of passport photo that is not the standard product for a U.S. passport, I highly recommend booking an appointment at this studio. I doubt very much that you will be disappointed. read more

We had a great experience getting our passport photos done with Adonis Photography. The owner, Brad, is nice to talk to and talented. He also made us feel safe with the COVID safety procedures he's taking. The 2 + U building that his studio is located in is its own treat. It has a Caffe Ladro in the lobby in case you need caffeine (it wasn't open when we were there) and there is interesting art everywhere plus just a cool vibe. It was cool checking out the building after hearing so much about it. Back to the photos, I really appreciated how Brad did not make us feel rushed--he even offered to clear up a few imperfections here and there on our photos (shiny forehead, etc.) which you wouldn't be able to find elsewhere. He had great advice to give about what would look the best in terms of hair, pose, etc. The photos were worth every penny, and it was nice to have options for how to pay (Venmo, credit card). Tip: If two people book an appointment, you get a savings of $10 on the total. read more

Kristin is a real pro. She has a great eye for her work and is fantastic at making people look their absolute best. And she's wonderful to work with - has a kind and easy way about her and is super efficient. Her studio is fun, easily accessible and the entire experience was delightful and simple. Highly recommend. read more

I can't recommend Adonis photography highly enough. I've taken my picture here twice before and both times I've received quality photographs and great service. Kristen is a genuine person with a lovely personality. I didn't think I'd be delighted get my picture taken for passport needs and excited to write a review for it, but here I am all because of her genuine kindness and good vibes. One of my picture for passport was rejected due to no fault of hers, (just confusing specifications from the requester). However, she was very nice about it and helped me fix the problem. I'd keep coming back here! read more

Supporting small, local business AND getting a passport photo that's not cringeworthy is a no brainer. While I'll probably never like my passport photo (Kristin's excellent, but it would take high level magic to accomplish that!), our overall experience was so pleasant, this was well worth what we paid ($75 for passport photos for the two of us). Kristin is highly skilled, efficient, and totally gets that no one wants to look terrible on a document they'll have for a decade. If your passport is expiring soon, book with Adonis now! You won't regret it! read more

Got a Groupon a while ago for apassport photo and it went great. Excellent photos, quick but also careful and he's well versed on other photos for different passports which I consider a great skill. read more

Brad is knowledgeable and great at taking photos. I had no problems with the pictures he took. It was quick, professional and exactly according to specifications. Great job there ! The whole coordination to get appointments and be picked up from the lobby ( the floors are access restricted on weekends ) is however not the greatest. I had to wait half hour to find out that I should be at a different entrance to the building. This could've completely been avoided if there was some sort of instruction on how to get in to the building. read more

Brad Kevelin is the owner / photographer of Adonis Photography in downtown Seattle, and you will be absolutely delighted with his passport photography skills. You might think that your local Walgreens is all you need for this common type of photo, but chances are you will end up with just a poorly lit crapola mug shot. Brad takes several different images and will guide you through many facial movements and head tilts. After the shoot, you get to review the high quality photos with him until you have narrowed it down to the perfect one. You can't ask for better professionalism and talent in a local photographer! read more

I called at the last minute and they were able to accomodate me right away. The service was friendly and efficient with some humor and just a general great experience! I highly recommend this photographer for your passport and professional needs! read more

Great service and expertise! Brad took the time to make sure the end result was exactly what I needed.

Brad is AMAZING. We had to take pictures of our fussy newborn and Brad was super professional and patient while taking the photos. We took several shots of the baby so the photo guidelines would be met. Finally ended up choosing the most suitable photo after a lot of minute checking against the guidelines. The building was closed on the weekend and we had to ring him up so he could let us in. This was no biggie as the entire photo shoot was super smooth! None of this would have been possible without his patience and professionalism! Thanks, Brad! - by two tired parents. read more

I want to thank Brad for his professionalism, courtesy and patience. Id been unable to get acceptable passport photos at both Walgreens and Costco of my very active, strong minded three year old. So I appreciate a patient, generous photographer who strives to get the best and natural shot. Consider a professional photo session with Adonis Photo especially for anyone needing passport pics of a very active child. It is worth the time and price and you will not be disappointed. read more

I got professional headshots done here and they came out great. The photographer is a very nice guy. Would definitely come here again.

I just got my headshots back from Adonis Photography, and I could not be more satisfied! They provide great prices, great shots, and all around amazing service. Brad, their photographer, has a wealth of current industry knowledge, and takes the time to explain the how and why of a successful photo. I highly recommend Brad and Adonis Photography to any professional seeking exceptional photographs. read more

Very professional. Great passport pictures. And it was so easy to get an appointment. I will definitely come back every time I need a good picture. The only problem is that they don't have a place to park, so try to arrive early to find good parking spot in downtown Seattle. read more

Brad at Adonis Photography did a really great job on my professional headshot. He also delivered the finished product very quickly, and replied promptly and was flexible when scheduling the appointment. I really appreciated that he was very friendly and genuinely interested in how I wanted the photo to look. read more

Brad was my savior. I needed a headshot urgently for the next day and it was already 4pm. He accommodated his schedule and he actually offered to take headshots at 9:45pm the same day. He was very professional, took time and let me go through the pictures without any rush. I am content with the outcome. Highly recommended! read more

I'm one of those people that doesn't really like to get my picture taken. Brad was great. He made me feel very comfortable and created great professional headshots. He was genuinely interested in putting me at ease and getting the best shots. I highly recommend Brad and Adonis Photograph to anyone seeking great professional headshots. read more

Just say no to terrible passport photos! Some people might say that a quick, cheap photo is good enough, but think about it: this is a photo that you'll be living with for 10 years, every time you travel outside the country (or more often if you use your passport as your domestic flight ID). Isn't it worth some professional lighting and a skilled pro who lets you choose the best shot from a set of proofs? Brad is fast, convenient, and professional. I don't even work downtown, but I came in from West Seattle, parked, had my appointment and was back home, all within an hour. The on line scheduling tool is a breeze to use, and many different times of the day are available. Obviously there isn't much flexibility with a passport photo since there are rules for the framing, the angle and even your facial expression. But Brad is very familiar with these rules and will absolutely help you look your best. Photos are selected and printed on the spot. Ship your packages at Kinko's - get your photos at Adonis. read more

I needed a business portrait on a short timeline and Brad delivered. He's got great technical skills, an artist's eye for composition and lighting, and a nice way of putting you at ease. I also liked being able to see what my scheduling options were on his website and then completing the whole process online. Quick, easy, and competitively priced with great results; it doesn't get any better. read more

I just moved to Seattle after being on tour for 3 years and needed updated headshots fast for an upcoming audition. Brad at Adonis Photography was quick to respond, had an appointment for me within 48 hours and provided an excellent experience to boot! I hate getting my picture taken and have always felt like I look awkward in photos. Brad made me feel at ease and showed me photos during my session so I could make adjustments to guarentee the best shot. I got my photos right away on a CD and honestly loved 95% of them! I highly recommend Adonis Photography and will send anyone who asks for a headshot photographer straight to Brad! read more

I needed passport photos of very specific dimensions that you cannot get done in usual shops for a non USA passport. I looked around and found Adonis Photography. Brad was very professional and quick. The photos were done to the exact specifications and were accepted by the embassy. Thank you! read more

Ordered a set of photos for job applications. Very professional demeanor, great prices, and excellent photos. Never had a photo shoot before and was kind of dreading it, but he made it easy and fun. Highly recommended! So glad I got these and didn't go with the DIY route! read more

Brad is the only photographer that manages to take good passport photos for my 2 years old son. He is a real photographer, very professional and very patient with my son. His studio is quiet, which is very comforting for a toddler. We needed photos for non-US passports, which Walgreens, UPS etc cannot do. So we tried A FEW local copy and print shops that do passport photos, their prices are much higher than regular US passport photos. Passport photos is only one of their many other services, none of them wanted to spend more than 3 minutes with my son (and 3 minutes is definitely not enough to take passport photo for a toddler). And of course, none of them took a photo that satisfy the passport requirements. Worse, they actually refused to take more shots and kept saying "that's the best you can get from a toddler" etc. Well, Brad proved them wrong. With a professional and patient photographer like Brad, a toddler can have good passport photos. We ended up wasting more money on those useless copy and print shops than we paid Brad. I highly recommend Brad for toddler passport photos and all non-US passports/visa photos. read more

The photographer did very good job on portrait for my resume. He was very nice and kind, and the price as well as service were good. I would be a repeat customer for the other photos. read more
