Testimonial from a leading Canadian Passport Expediting Service:

"Wow! I can't believe I just received an e-mail from one of the best photographers in Florida. I have visited your website previously and that is how I found you. At first, I didn't know how your photographs were going to be (as a lot of photographers claim that they're superb with Canadian photographs but fail to meet the specifications) but I recommended your studio anyway to a client and the photographs were.. immaculate! Since then, I have recommended your studio to all our clients in your region.

Your photographs are great and keep up the excellent work! You make it a LOT easier for our clients (and myself) and I will continue to highly recommend your studio for as long as I possibly can."  Amanda Choi, www.certificatesexpress.com

Canadian Passport Photos

I found out the hard way that CVS & Walgreen’s couldn’t just do the Canadian passport photos as they claim. After running around to meet my deadline for renewal I got my photos rejected. BIG disappointment!! Also a waste of time, but I found Gary Sweetman Photography in Bradenton. They did a wonderful job meeting all the compliances & they used Biometric software to ensure everything was correct. I highly recommend them. Give them a call 941-748-4004

And here is an email we just got in!

Hello Mr. Sweetman!
 
I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for (a) taking my son in without an appointment, and (b) for providing a top notch quality Canadian passport photo.  I had heard that Canada is famous for rejecting photos that do not meet their criteria and went straight to you to avoid delays.  My son's passport was approved and received within 4 weeks from start to finish with no problems. 
 
I would also like to add, that besides taking such absolutely beautiful photos, Your friendly, easy going personality and office atmosphere hooked us!  We will definitely be back for Grad photos when the time nears! 
 
I highly recommend your services to anyone who is considering a professional photographer. 
 
Once again, thank you so much!
 
Mary and Brad Pilgrim
