Don’t Bother with them!

Had no choice But to use these as the school hired them and i’ll be spraking with the school directly, First off the pictures taken of the children are badly done, Only one photo and then all rushed through to the point some children didn’t even get a picture taken, These don’t appear to be professional photographers In anyway, The website is shocking, the organisation of how they do things shocking and The price is absolutely Disgraceful!!! We will not purchase kittle Photos again infact I could of done better myself. The postage is over £4 for two tiny photographs It doesn’t even cost that to send And the actual photo pricing is Frankly Robbing. Happy to take crap photos and take your hard earned money over but without a ounce of Quality. It was back in sept the pictures were taken.

Good Afternoon,
Thank you for your wonderful feedback.
We are very pleased we were able to locate the photograph of your child.
We hold previous years photographs within our archive meaning these are accessible for parents to purchase upon request.

Excellent aftersales

Have just received my children’s school photos, I struggled with the order process a little but their aftersales team helped me through it all. Hayley was patient and really reassuring. The quality of the prints were very good and I can now safely say Kittle has made my memories even better

Outrageous company avoid at all costs!!

This company is an absolute joke. The photo quality is shocking. You expect a lovely photo but no. They take the picture (just 1) and give no second chances. Pictures are ruined where people are mid laughing or talking. Then expect people to pay the earth for them when they make you look completely different to your normal self. The lighting is awful and really dark, they give you no advice on how to smile or sit they tell u to sit and just flash. No preparing or getting ready, they catch you completely off guard. I’m not sure how they even keep custom with the useless picture quality and inconsiderate staff. Let’s not forget they can’t even give you a chair your sat on a toolbox. They make you stand and take a picture looking so odd and weird. They edit your photos and make you look completely abnormal and then leave you waiting ages for them to come through after paying. Avoid!!!

Hi Jenifer
My sincerest of apologises to hear that you are not happy with the photograph that was taken of your child.
Unfortunately it is usually only one photograph that is taken per child due to the limited timeframe we have to photograph the entirety of the school to minimise disruption or because it it is at the request of the school to take only one photograph of each child.
However please contact our customer service team via email ( info@kittlephoto.com) with your photo ID and we will be happy to check the system to see if there were any alternate images taken on the day. Please be re-assured that we also do not edit the childrens photographs unless this is requested by the parent directly meaning this is certainly something that we will be able to look at upon receiving your email.

Extremely poor customer service

Extremely disappointed with Kittle Photography as they sent a picture from 2 years ago when my son was in year 10. He is now in year 12.

I called them up today asking for an exchange of the photo and I was told that I should pay for the new one which I have already paid for!
This was an admin member I was talking to, who kindly transferred my call to her supervisor. By the time I went through to the other line, the supervisor became a manager called Hannah.
She kept repeating the same thing over and over saying I should pay for the new photo and the best she could offer is half price.
I do not trust business practices who too often say ‘unfortunately’ and this is exactly what Hannah was saying many times over.
I am done with this company. I now have two Y10 pictures and none from this year.

When I ordered the picture I did it through the unique QR code which my son brought home from the school on a slip and brought up the correct Y12 picture of him.

I also told this to Hannah and she went on to say after using the QR code and we signed in the old picture could have stayed in our basket.
This is simply not true because we saw what we ordered by the checkout.
But even if what she said was true, how could this be my fault and make me pay for it?

It is a real shame on the company.

As of 12th of October 2023 - We have received the correct picture! I went happy as my wife opened the envelope this morning!
Sadly, my wife said she ordered it with the full price as couldn’t face dealing with the company.
Please don’t offer me anything anymore here nor through my email.
Pity we don’t get to chose who takes pictures in schools.

Hi Andras
Thank you for your feedback and my sincere apologise to hear that you were disappointed with the response you received to your enquiry.
Unfortunately as the photographs are classes as personalised items, once they have been dispatched it means that we are not able to refund or exchange these.
We are ever so sorry that we were not able to assist you on this occasion however if you would like to re-order, the original offer of 50% off still stands.
