Please note, we are NOT able to take photos that do not have an official purpose (personal desire). This includes, but is not limited to, online avatars, recent promotions/awards where the photo is not being used for a purpose as listed above, last photo before retirement or unit yearbooks.

Photo Types Available:

Head and Shoulders Official Photo

Photos are shot to a 4x5 ratio, suitable for an 8"x10" frame, and include the American flag in the background. Please note, we do NOT have printing capabilities. Photos can be printed on a color laser printer available in most offices or can be printed off-site if desired.

Full Length Photo

Photos are shot to a 5x7 ratio (5"x7") on a white background and are sized to be less than 500KB in compliance with most package requirements. These photos are less common and are only done on Fridays with prior arrangement with the PA Office. To arrange a full length photo, please contact us at (405) 739-2025 during normal business hours (M-F, 7:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.).

Other Photo Types

If you require a photo not specified above, please contact us before making an appointment to verify we can support your needs. Different services have different photo requirements and although we try to assist where possible, we cannot guarantee that we have the equipment (backdrop, name board, etc.) necessary to meet the photo's requirements.
