I always bring everyone here whenever anyone needs passport pictures. You get 4 pictures instead of 2 and he gives you options. We always come back. It is located at the same plaza as Northfate Supermarket.

First time visitor to the camera shop (wow, they still exist?)…read more Very large, clean, well organized and fully stocked store. The shop manager was very helpful, knowledgeable and extremely welcoming. I was able to purchase a spare battery and portable charger for Cannon 35mm camera. Not items you can find ANYWHERE else on such short notice This shop saved me and my planned video and pics during the Rose Parade Thank you !!

My high school photography teacher gave me my first film camera in 2018. It was a Pentax P30t and I…read morehad no idea how it worked. The only camera shop close by was Powell Camera so I came in and was immediately greeted with a smile and the shop "Employee of the Month." I grabbed a new battery, and bought my first roll(It was Portra 400). From there, it was all routine: shoot a roll, turn it in before 1pm on Tuesday to get it returned by the end of the week, ask what worked and what didn't get exposed correctly(which happened a lot my first year). Mark and Frankie fielded all of my questions and conversations with wisdom and grace, about the Mamiyas that cycled through the shop, about how to correctly use an off-camera flash on a film camera(though I've failed many a time), about how quickly film was coming back and how many new shooters began to pursue celluloid dreams. I'm not so close by anymore but I'll always remember what this place has given me and countless others. What Mark has left behind in Powell Camera is something that stands beyond its store walls. There's millions of memories here developed, scanned, printed, and returned all over. While I may have been just one of thousands of passing faces, Mark to me was a steward of the craft, someone so unforgettable and tied to the medium here that won't soon be forgotten. Now is no better time to support brick-and-mortar shops like this one. Shoot film, change the world, let light keep your memories tangible.

We came to this studio for a family photoshoot and a birthday solo session. Our photographer was…read morefantastic, communicative, guiding us through poses, and well-prepared with tools to keep both our baby and dog engaged with the camera. BUT the administrative side and studio reliability are major issues. We actually should have seen the red flags on our very first visit when we came to book our appointment. No one was inside the studio, and another family was waiting outside. We let it go at the time, but the exact same thing happened at pickup. Since I had my baby with me and wanted to avoid driving over only to wait around, I called in advance to confirm someone was there and explicitly stated I was on my way. Yet when we arrived, the studio was locked and empty. We ended up waiting for quiet awhile for someone to show up. If staff needed to step out, basic courtesy and sound business practice dictate that you inform the customer on the phone. To top it off, no itemized receipt was provided. While the photographer did a wonderful job, the repeated unreliability and lack of consideration for customers' time mean we'll probably just go somewhere else next time.

It's always so sad to see a well loved, community staple close its doors. Monte's has been around…read morefor decades since the 60's and 70's and has stayed open long after film camera became a thing of the past and a niche hobby and digital cameras, and now smart phone cameras have taken over. Even now, their website is still up and has a nostalgic early Internet feel, like a testament to time. Really speaks of how the passage of time goes on. I'm not one for photography, but it was always neat to stop by and look at all the different models of cameras that they had on display and if you were a photography nerd, this was a great place to stop by. I loved visiting their super friendly and kind shop cat, Thomas. Little guy would wander around outside and even sit on your lap for pets. He passed way but lived a super long life of 20+ years. Their Facebook page has some fond posts to look back on. Thank you for all the years and memories.

Sandra Flores is an absolute gem of a photographer! This is the photographer you need. Not only is…read moreshe incredibly professional, she is kind, wildly creative and fun. Sandra helped us narrow down our idea for our engagement session. We got engaged in 2020 which limited a lot of the fun couples normally get to experience. We shot with Sandra in June of 2021 and it made our experience finally feel real! She made our love come to light and brought tears to my eyes. She selected two locations for us after we told her what we had in mind and it was spectacular. She has the most creative eye and is a true artist. She is easy to communicate with and is very clear in her pricing. She is incredible. I have made sure everyone that will listen knows Sandra Flores is who they need to capture their beautiful life moments. I look forward to many more sessions with Sandra!

Her page was one of my favorite ones that I found with incredible shots from the courthouse, since the courthouse has old school vibes I wanted someone who would capture that. Sandra is INCREDIBLE!!!! The pictures came out gorgeous and absolutely breathtaking, I would hire her again in a heart beat. Everyone has been complimenting my pictures and how well everything looks. My husband also loved the pictures! When I first reached out to Sandra she was super quick to respond to email and text, and the day of she had great communication with me. She is sooooo patient! I had a lot of family and the courthouse and she was great working with everyone and guiding my family for pictures. You can't go wrong by hiring her for any occasion you want captured.
