📸 Citizenship Photos in the Tampa Bay/St. Petersburg Area
If you need photos for your application, we’ve got you covered!
Whether you’re planning a summer getaway or navigating an important legal process like updating your residency or applying for citizenship, one thing is certain—you’ll likely need a properly sized, government-approved photo to go with your application.
At Thomas Bruce Studio of Photography, we specialize in more than just beautiful portraits and senior sessions. We’re also your go-to passport and citizenship photo experts in the Tampa Bay/St. Petersburg area, helping both U.S. and international clients meet the exact requirements of their applications—with ease, professionalism, and a smile.
We Help Our Global Neighbors
Periodically, our neighbors who hail from outside the U.S. are required to update their Citizenship, Residency, or Immigration information. Part of this process often includes submitting a photograph that must meet strict specifications laid out by the applicant’s home country.
And here’s the tricky part: Most countries outside the U.S. use the metric system, meaning their photo requirements are given in millimeters, not inches. A small detail—but one that matters a lot when you’re submitting official paperwork.
Unfortunately, many mainstream photo providers aren’t equipped to accommodate international specifications, and it can become frustrating or even delay your application. That’s where we come in.
Any Country, Any Size—Guaranteed!
At Thomas Bruce Studio, we welcome our international guests and are proud to provide Citizenship and Permanent Residency photos that meet the exact requirements of any country.

…and many more!
Whether your application calls for a 35mm x 45mm, 50mm x 70mm, or custom size, we have the expertise and equipment to deliver the precise dimensions, backgrounds, and lighting your country requires.
We’ll make sure your image checks all the boxes—no shadows, correct head size, neutral expression, appropriate background—and print or digitally format the photo based on your needs.
