An apparatus and method for electronically printing a person's image onto a substrate having a predetermined site-specific background includes a compact, portable housing, and a camera that is movably mounted in the housing. An electronic printer and a microprocessor are also mounted in the housing and are electronically connected to the camera. In one embodiment, the microprocessor is a printer control board which receives an image of the camera's field of view and suppresses regions of the image that are substantially outside of the person's body image. The printer control board then causes the printer to print only the person's image onto a preselected blank area of the substrate. The remaining region of the substrate is preprinted with a site specific background. In an alternate embodiment, the microprocessor is a personal computer, and the personal computer electronically removes the person's image from the image of the background surrounding, electronically superimposes the person's image onto a site specific background stored in the is computer's memory, and causes the printer to print the composite image onto a blank substrate.
