      Service or Repair Issues
      Status:
      Resolved
      On 1/8/23 we had family portraits taken at Kramer Portraits. The total cost $2,290.31. We have been trying to work with them to deliver the portraits the way we requested them (Gallery Wrapped). At the time of purchase we reviewed several edits to the pictures and also how we wanted the main portrait finished (which is to be finished the same way our previous portraits are finished so they would all match in style). For the finish we were told something along the lines of their portraits are "museum quality" and meant to be framed, but they will get back to me. We also asked to review the proofs with touch *** before they finalized and was told they do not do that, but if we were not happy they would work with us.When we received our portraits, the main one was not delivered the way we requested, and each of the 3 portraits were missing touch up work that was requested that day. We called and emailed them about the issues and they have been responsive (although slow many times with days between the request and a response). While they have said they will make the touch up changes made, they have not offered to finish the main portrait according to our request. We have offered alternatives to our original request which would provide us with the image and allow us to finish it the way we would like. Their responses have been to reiterate their marketing line that the portraits are "museum quality" and meant to be framed. I see that we have been flexible in offering alternatives to ensure we can be provided with portraits to match our other ones, but this business has not been flexible in offering any other solutions.

      We 'won' a ******** contest with Kramer Photos. The prize included a complimentary 11x14 canvas photo. The photography session was fine. The photographer was very nice and patient with our family, which includes 2 young children. When it came time to pick out the photo for our 11x14, we were pressured into purchasing a large framed canvas photo (20x24). We were also given the smaller canvas we were initially promised for free. This all ended up costing us over 6K which we are still paying off in installments. When we received our canvas photos after 3 months, some editing was done to the 20x24 photo that completely changed my husband's face. It looked like they had tried to correct his slanted glasses but messed up his eye instead. We reached out to ask for it to be corrected and were told that we would have to wait an additional 3 months for a new canvas photo to be created and sent over to us. Needless to say we are livid. We had approved the photo beforehand and no one reached out to let us know that they would be making this type of change. Additionally, this is something we were upsold, are still paying off and cost several thousand dollars. When we asked for some sort of recourse for this mistake, we were offered a complimentary photo which we were happy to take.....only to find out that we'd only be able to pick from the 2 photos we already purchased. Why would we want 2 copies of the same canvas photo? What happened to the plethora of other photos that we took during our session? We declined the offer and instead, I'm sitting here writing this review.I'm completely disappointed at this experience. I would have been happy to come back after a few years to get an updated canvas photo of our family. Seeing how they are treating us after THEIR failure to deliver on their service, that sentiment is completely out the window.

We truly strive for all of our clients to be thrilled with their portraits and we will continue to work with you until you are happy with the result. I know you have been communicating with our customer service team to rectify this. One of the owners will be reaching out to you to help resolve this for you and your family.
