For infants and toddlers who can hold own head up, we may be able to take a photo in the store. However, Pony Express reserves the right to decline to take a photo due to best practices. We may be able to take photos of your infant/toddler IF AND ONLY IF:

  • Baby MUST BE ABLE hold their OWN head up.

  • Baby is awake.

  • Mom or Dad can hold baby on shoulders while being physically out of the photo. (Please note that we do not allow babies to be laid down on the store floor.)

  • Baby is not being fussy and/or crying.

Passport Photos for INFANTS/TODDLERS with photo TAKEN AT HOME and EMAILED TO US: $29.99 all sizes

MOST babies will fall under this category. If your baby is not yet able to hold their own head up, you can’t hold your baby on your shoulders, your baby will be fussy, or you would still like to take the photo and send it in, please follow the below guidelines and examples below:

1. Make sure your baby is well-rested, fed, clean, and happy. 

2. Place your baby on a clean, white background. Sheets or plain blankets work well for this. Make sure baby is not wearing white clothing.

3. Take a picture of your baby looking directly at the camera using the best quality camera you have. The baby's head should be in the middle of the picture and we should be able to see their torso (picture baby’s head in the center square of a virtual 5x5 grid). DO NOT ZOOM IN.

4. Send it as a jpeg to info@ponyexpressredmond.com along with your name and phone number. We will contact you to confirm whether or not we can use your picture. 

5. Pick up and pay for the processed photo at the store and have a great time traveling with your baby!
