The prices are just absurd, the product nothing special. It's a real shame that Kittle have somehow managed to corner the school photo market, and so many parents are priced out. Schools must share so... See more

school photos

In regards to school photos, 1 digital photo being £21.25 is extortion plain and simple. They know you either buy it or go without so are taking advantage!

We wanted some extra black glass photo frames to match school photos taken by Kittle. Could find them anywhere on the Web, so tried an email to them. They understood what we wanted and was able to order more frames with them. Great service thanks.

Please be re-assured we do offer home delivery if you would like to receive the order more quickly, however this is chargeable.

I only ever print the best pics of my boy but the quality of these is so gorgeous.

I bought the pack deal and they’ve turned out to be really good value too.

I would give 0 if I could

I would give 0 if I could. The quality is extremely poor. White background is terrible and digital quality is terrible. I paid for photo mount which is white and awful as it totally clashes with the white background. The mount has the company logo on the bottom right hand corner which is an additional disappointment.
This has been a total waste of money.

RUBBISH

Little took a photo of one option on a white backdrop when many numerous cheap backdrops are readily available, if not there are many free apps online that can be used to fill in a white background. My school photos all looked beautiful when things were non digital with a lovely background.
They could have considered using a school backdrop instead of using a cheap white but clearly it’s not their kids.
They also wanted us to pay extra for the cardboard mount for a poorly taken photo. Kittle need to understand how important these photos are to parents rather than just a profitable business to them.
Star lane primary school should also be ashamed hiring these photographers just to save themselves a penny or two.

Thank you for leaving feedback.
we take time to discuss the backdrop options with the school when booking with us and this is something that they choose. The number of photographs taken per child also depends on numerous factors such as, the time in which the photographer has to ensure photographs are taken of the entirety of the school and how many times that the school would like taken per child for their school systems.
With regards to the mounts, please be aware that we offer our individual packages A-G with and without the mounts to give parents the option of ordering the photographs as prints only if they would prefer. If you are having difficultly in locating this option online please contact our customer service team and we will be able to assist you.

My daughter had her school photo taken by Kittle Photographic. The one photo they took is of her mouth half open with a furrowed brow, as if they just snapped away without even telling her to smile. They also didn't include the class photo by accident, and even the url on the flyer for ordering photos was incorrect.
