The photos are far too expensive. I don't want a family pack with 10 copies of the same photo, I would like one copy of each of the photos but this isn't an option.

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.

Amazing photos!

Amazing photos! I love my son’s schools photos that have been taken by Kittle!
They are extremely helpful if you have a question and Hayley Martin has been amazing to sort out any queries I had about the photos.

Exceptionally poorly taken images.

Exceptionally poorly taken images.
Sadly our child's school is linked with this company & I'm now dreading each time they come to take pictures.

I can take better with my iPhone.
The quality is average, lighting awful & let's not talk about the colossal price of these images.

Don't feel right not ordering as it's our child & his memories but will be contacting the school to see if perhaps they can use a different company.

Also their marketing emails are exceptionally annoying.

The perfect memento for Pupils made by a team who takes pride in their work.

For 3 years in a row (I think) I ordered for our school: A Leavers book that Kittle created for us + the Leavers Hoodies. We are very happy with the resulting products.
First the hoodies were a real hit amongst our pupils and staff: There is a wide range of colours, the price is reasonable and the quality this year was even better than last year.
The school leavers book was a well liked addition capturing each pupils cherished moments, The perfect way to re-live some best events as well as being a perfect souvenir.
The service is excellent: Any queries were answered and actioned upon. Kittle service team built a trusting relationship with us as they also wish to create this special momento for each student.
I appreciate that it is not just an online company, we could also discuss over the phone. Kittle Photographics make the process as stress free as possible.
The photographers who came were friendly professionals and accommodating.
So I would recommend this company and I thank them for accommodating all our requests.

Brilliant Company!

I recently ordered my boys school photos through this company and received brilliant customer service.
The order arrived very quickly and I couldn't be happier with the pictures.
Very good communication from the company and will definitely be using them again!
Thank you

Amazing team

Amazing team, I’m very thankful for their job. I have an autistic child and it’s really hard to take pictures of her, the photographer was able to walk around her and did what’s possible to take one good picture which we will keep it as a memories for ever. I’m really pleased. Thank you so much !!! 🫶🏻

Lost images 2016

Last night while sorting through paperwork I found a broken CD of my children’s reception photographs (2016). I emailed with little hope of ever replacing them. I wanted to say a huge ginormous massive thank you to the customer care team. Kyle has found my photos. I really can’t put into words what this means to me and my family. We love those photographs and your company has gone above and beyond to help a disorganised mum who was literally heartbroken yesterday. I know that there is so much going on in the world but you have truly made my day, week and month.
Thank you so much!!!!!

Excellent customer service 👍

Sad to some negative reviews here, my experience with Kittle Photographic was truly exceptional. When we encountered a slight issue with our school photo, the team quickly addressed it and went above and beyond to send us a replacement photo promptly. Their dedication to customer satisfaction and efficient problem-solving left us impressed and satisfied with the final result. I highly recommend Kittle Photographic for their outstanding service and commitment to their customers.

We take 1,000,000s of photos and 99% of the time we get it right but we appreciate that responsibility has to be taken for the errors that come about!

Thanks again for your time and I hope you are enjoying your new photo!

So disappointed to have Kittle's…

So disappointed to have Kittle's association with school. Paper quality they give is cheapest one. I don't see photos any better either. Delivery time is worst. You receive your photos after ages you almost forget about them. I use better paper at home for photo printing. It is more expensive than anything in the world of that value. No customer care support either. Ordered two for two of my kids received only one after a month not sure when would I receive next.
Schools should think of a better option.

Worst photographic & Too costly

Worst photographic images, and on top too costly. For an image download they charging £21.25. In high street shops they charge less than £5 and there is a choice for you to choose good one. Schools should not allow this Kittle.

Excellent customer services

Aside picture quality, being expensive and other problems already described, we had problems with payments and not receiving photo in the same time with other kids in the school.
My positive experience is about Kittle Photographic having a real person dealing with the case and I want to give kudos to Hannah for handling the case professionally. It is such a refreshment in the world of automated services and automated emails to have someone actually taking care of your case.
Back to the beginning of my article, photo quality is not bad for group school photo and for the price, I am happy to pay a bit extra to speak with human and not with chatbot...
