Hello everyone


I am taking my daughter abroad for the first time in about 3 weeks and I am getting her a passport (yes, I've left it a bit late!). I need to get her a photo done but wondered if anyone had any advice on a)where to go in ED and b)any tips on how to get her to sit still when I take her.


Huge thanks in advance xx

I second Shot by the Sherriff, we had our daughters passport photo done very early and they were great with her! We are American and they took extra time to make sure the photo size and specifications were accurate for our passport. We have had great experiences with their photography ever since as well!
Well I don't know if you've time for this but I got my baby's photo done by putting her in her cot with a cream bed sheet and taking a photo looking down at her. I'm very pleased with it and I think it's better than a lot of other babies' photos I've seen. I got it printed at photobox.co.uk . They have a passport photos template. Even with postage it works out cheaper than other places (and you can get some general photos printed cheaply at the same time with the same postage) and you can be sure to get a good passport photo. They also do next day delivery. Obviously you need to make sure you follow the guidelines for how the passport shots should be framed etc (these are also provided by photobox if you can't find online).

shot by the sheriff charge ?15 and both times I asked if I could come in for a baby passport photo pic they said I would have to wait several days for an appointment as they are v busy

the place next to Soup Dragaon (or where soup dragon used to be!) charges ?6 for the same service and do it there an then while you wait, I'd try there first!

    • I've used just about all the locally available supermarkets for deliveries over the years, and I now  use Waitrose for deliveries, for various reasons. They have a good range of the things I eat, their food is good quality and their "essentials" range is generally good value (except the tissues, which suddenly became so thin as to disintegrate immediately. I was mainly buying them for the nice plain boxes, so now I just put other tissues into the old Waitrose boxes 🤣) It is very rare for something I've ordered to not be available on the day. Their delivery drivers  are genuinely friendly and helpful. Their customer service is very good. On the rare occasions I've had issues, they have refunded me without quibbling. They often have special deals on some of the things I buy often, so I stock up when they are cheaper. I do occasionally compare prices with other supermarkets, and overall I really don't think Waitrose is more expensive, but obviously they might be for things I don't personally buy. I absolutely hate Sainsbury's, would use Lidl for some things but they don't deliver, Iceland has a very small range of things I eat, and I can't remember why I don't use Tesco or Asda any more. I recently checked out Ocado because there was some offer which seemed good value, but they just didn't have enough things I wanted to buy to make it worth using the offer. M&S don't deliver ( to the best of my knowledge) but in any case they seem to be still badly suffering from the recent hack into their system. Apologies, I have just remembered this thread is about shopping at actual physical stores, but probably many of the issues are the same.
    • Since I am of a certain vintage now, not sure if what I am going to suggest is even still around but here goes… use to be able to buy “dummy/mock papers on line and also had mini synopsis of Shakespeare plays specifically covering students wanting to gain a better understanding of play before taking mocks/ exams. Only know this as many many moons ago, struggled with English Literature and Language and this was the avenue-my parents went down. Also was at this point in my life, educated abroad as part of my fathers job.  
    • Love your comment about “shoehorned” - put a smile on my face..! As for comment about “Little Waitrose” ummmm - never really thought about it. Personally, could not care less. But guess Sainsbury Local and Tesco Express are to you more acceptable.. Ultimately, when I think about it, I actually don’t care what they call themselves - been lured by partially branding and partially convenience and what they offer in groceries.
