While I can't suggest any places in the states, one thing I can suggest is to take your glasses off for your passport photos. Most places in Canada won't even take the photo with the glasses on -- it's like asking for an automatic rejection.
Other suggestions: have the passport place take the photo as bright as they can without the background changing colors or skin tone, pixelating or causing shine on the face; put on some makeup and/or baby powder before the photo to reduce shine as much as possible.
And if all else fails, try to find a place that will guarantee that any rejected picture will be retaken for free. Sometimes, even photos that would seem perfect are getting rejected (rumor has it that this is because of the backlog, the passport folks are buying themselves more time by rejecting photos for any and all reasons).
