Passport Photo's

[Barbara & Imogen]

If you need a passport photo for your little person, I can recommend Annings Camera Shop in Ilkley. It's on Cunliffe Rd, next to Monkmans and across the road from Mortens.

You lay your baby on a piece of white card and then they take several digital photo's which you can collect about 20 minutes later (plenty of time to grab a coffee and a piece of cake!).

It costs £5 and is well worth avoiding the stress of attempting to get photo's done in a photo booth!!

Thanks for this! I wish I'd known about this when I did Frank's photo. I went to the photo booth in Tesco (Ilkley). It cost £4 but I had to do it twice because the first time, my hands were showing on the photo.

Second time, he screamed his head off and the whole shop was wondering what I was doing to this poor baby in the photo booth.

I also tried to print a photo I'd taken in Boots digital printing facility. Only problem was that the photo wasn't the right size.

So all in all, it cost me about £10 and I've ended up with a screaming baby on the passport!

Thank god I'm not the only one. I went in the booth too and contorted myself like a magicians assistant waving Felix above my head while my friend said left a bit, right a bit. Any passers by must've thought we were totally bonkers!

Then afterwards my friend who assisted me said that she had forgotten but you could get them done in shops! Oh well we had fun. The picture is shocking though.

Just a thought but it cost me 9p. Lie your baby on a white sheet/ blanket and take a picture of them. That way you can take hundreds with a digital camera and get the one you want. Then print it in passport size ( most places photobox, snapfish etc do this size) and there you are!.
Anyway not gloating as it took me 3 hours to get Charles to sleep tonight ( yes he gets his sunday name tonight as he was so naughty!) he is asleep now, but we are going backwards on this bedtime stuff.

You can also upload digital images to www.passpic.co.uk - you select the image you want and they do a check to make sure it's acceptable before you pay for it. Costs about £4 - though you do have to wait a couple of days for them to post it. It came back v quickly.
