Military Portraits

“Word to the Nation: Guard zealously your right to serve in the Armed Forces, for without them, there will be no other rights to guard.” – John F. Kennedy

Throughout your military career you will have pictures taken of you, or you may not. Either way they aren't necessarily the best representation of you, or the best lighting.

I spent 3 decades sitting up straight, not smiling and no one cared if I liked my pictures.

You may not realize this now, but when you reach the end of your career, whether it's four years or 34 years, you may discover you don't have enough pictures to celebrate your service and legacy.

Make a promise to yourself to take a portrait in every rank.

Your family and your legacy will thank you for it. Avoid the regret, make the promise.

Official Navy Photo

The Navy will no longer show officer service record photos during promotion, selection and assignment boards.

Announced in NAVADMIN 247/20, the change took effect Sept. 1, 2020 as a way to eliminate the possibility of bias in the service’s board process.

However the message also states that the change in board policy does not eliminate the ongoing requirement for officers to maintain a current photograph in their official service record.

All officers, regardless of status, in both the Regular Navy and the Navy Reserve, are required to update their official photo within three months of accepting a new promotion.

Session is $250. Includes one high-res digital image, no print service provided, official photos can be submitted electronically via My Navy Portal. Note: MILPERSMAN 1070-181, paragraph 6, authorizes commands to "reimburse officers who use commercial sources to produce photographs."
