Here in India you don't carry your photo to the passport office. They click your picture onsite and that's what's printed on the passport.
I would assume most of the countries nowadays do this at least if you apply in home country, it can be different in embassy abroad, I remember taking photos of my year old kid born abroad, good luck with that in embassy (the trick is taking photo from above while kid is looking up laying on some white sheet).
