The team at KGS was extremely patient with our family, especially considering we had 4 hangry kids including a 5 year old who didn't cooperate. Highly recommend and the process is great!

My husband and I truly enjoyed our experience at KGS studios.  Kevin Saunders gave us a detailed tour of the studio and we began to understand the depth of his passion and knowledge.  We felt welcomed, comfortable, and even celebrated as he worked his magic.  It was a very special and emotional experience.  We can’t wait to receive our portrait!

Owner's reply
Thank you so much, Alma. It was delightful meeting you and I hope to continue to exceed your expectations.

My family and I had the pleasure of wotking with Kevin Saunders to take a family portrait and individual pictures of my kids. We are currently waiting on the final product but I expect them to turn out beautifully. I look forward to having pictures of my family that will last generations. Kevin and Tony very patient with my young kids and we got some good shots.

Owner's reply

We were extremely pleased with the portrait created for us by Kevin Saunders. Then an unfortunate occurrence happened in our move to our current home. Kevin agreed to come and do the "re-hanging" in our new home and was the one who discovered the problem. True to his promise that his artistic fine-art photography is 100% guaranteed for customer satisfaction, he completely re-printed and re-hung the portrait for us. Kevin stands behind his outstanding works of art. He does so in the most professional way, and leaves behind for his clients the remembrance of a beautiful experience shared.

Owner's reply
Mary Ruth, What an amazing testimonial. It was so great seeing you and Randy and while I hope there is never another problem with your portrait we are friends for life.
