I love their matte quality and professional attention to detail. Their prices vs their quality is unmatched It's one of the few places in town that allow square prints.

This is the best place to go for passport or citizenship application photos for Canada (I'm sure…read morefor other non-US countries too) in the Des Moines area- and if you have infants or little kids for their US passport photos too. Sure if you're an adult, for US passports you could just have them taken at the post office if that's where you're submitting your app, but if you want/need photos done before submitting your US passport- definitely go to Christian photos above Walgreens/CVS, etc. They actually have proper lighting and the set up to do infants and younger kids, and the knowledge and patience to get it right. Print off a copy of the photo spec sheets to leave with them- they request that so that they can refer to it while sizing and printing the photos, to ensure they meet the specs. The attention to detail is appreciated. Save yourself the time and headache of asking around at all the drugstores and shipping places that do passport photos on the side, because those folks usually don't know how to change the settings on their machines to do anything beyond US passport photos, or just don't know how picky some other countries can be (Canada for example) about the specs, shadows, head and shoulders squared, etc. And definitely aren't going to be equipped to do all the takes it requires to do infants or little kid photos. It's only slightly more than doing them at a Walgreens, and well worth the peace of mind knowing that it's not going to get rejected because your photos weren't done correctly. If you need this type of photo- definitely go check out Christian photo!

She's super organized and so much so that every picture in her multiple albums has the date, place, and persons portrayed written on the back of every picture. Mom is also a little wary of technology, as evidenced by her only recent conversion to digital photography and non dial-up Internet. She also likes to have her hand held when operating those photo ordering machines. She loves dealing with the patient folks at Photosynthesis, and after accompanying her there yesterday, I came away impressed and thankful for their kindness. Nice prints too.

Thanks to Winterset legend and Donuts Unlimited owner Jim Sparks for his great recommendation. There is so much Winterset history here, and the level of customer service was exceptional. Great customer service from Kathy at the counter resulted in my first Port Tenderloin sandwich! Wowowowowowowowow. I had the Montross basket special, and the crinkle-cut fries were outstanding! I loved the pricing. I wanted to top it off with a slice of pie, but there was no room left! There is a soda fountain available, and it makes the whole experience terrific.

REALLY!? We we booked the time frame specifically around the nap times for our 2yr old. The 6yr old and 12yr old were frustrated and hard to keep occupied in a crowded waiting room. Talking to others waiting it seemed they had booked appts 10min apart - then groups take another 30min to choose their shots.

It's always been convenient to pick up the photos within a few hours of the photo session. The specialty items arrive within a few weeks. (There is a handling/delivery fee for the specialty items). The past few sessions I was a little disappointed in the sessions but continue as they are the only studio that offers same day prints in the Des Moines area. Because of this I know they tend to be busy this time of year. However after our experience today we will not be back. We arrived at 4:05 for our 4:10 appointment. With a happy 2 1/2 year old. The studio was packed to the point of 2 chairs remained free. We were checked in and informed it would be a few minutes. At 4:45 the happy Toddler was turning rather cranky. My daughter tracked down a worker to inquire how much longer we could expect. She was informed they were running an hour behind schedule. At 5 pm the Toddler threw a level 10 tantrum fit . Again my daughter inquired about the time and was informed that they had openings for Thursday and they aren't nearly as busy then. I pointed out our coupon ended today and we asked if it would be honored if we rescheduled and was told no as new coupons would be coming out. We tried to wait it out but another toddler fit came out and his clothes were ruined. We did some research and plenty of Des Moines photographers have great rates!! They give you all phot rights which Walmart & Walgreens offer same day prints and even offer specialty items such as the canvas we like.
