Portrait photography service in Kenya: Delivery Planning and Acceptance Checks
Editorial update: 28 October 2026 · Business planning reference · Review scope
Plan delivery around observable acceptance
Plan the handover and acceptance record for portrait photography service, using the specific checkpoints for the example offer.
This is a planning reference for portrait photography service. The order below is an invented teaching case. It is not a completed customer job, an operating approval or a prediction of demand or earnings.
The example offer and its boundary
Fictional PORTRAIT-164 is a one-person 45-minute portrait session delivering five selected edited images in colour, sRGBJPEG3000 px long edge. Client chooses from a private contact sheet. Retouching covers agreed temporary blemishes/dust; no body reshaping, biometric identification or public portfolio use without separate permission.
This page is a work-control sheet. It does not teach a qualified trade, prescribe a food process, approve equipment or replace the appropriate technical procedure. Confirm who has the competence and authority for any specialist task.
Prepare the control record
| Stage to schedule | Checkpoint from the scoped example | Actual record to complete |
|---|---|---|
| Agree purpose/consent | Portfolio permission is separate from service consent. | Responsible person; evidence/reference; measured result; pass/hold decision; correction owner |
| Prepare comfortable setup | No forced physical contact or uncomfortable poses. | Responsible person; evidence/reference; measured result; pass/hold decision; correction owner |
| Capture/test focus | Do not rely solely on face-detection indicator. | Responsible person; evidence/reference; measured result; pass/hold decision; correction owner |
| Select privately | Unselected files not published. | Responsible person; evidence/reference; measured result; pass/hold decision; correction owner |
| Edit/export/handover | Agree retention/deletion and licence. | Responsible person; evidence/reference; measured result; pass/hold decision; correction owner |
Keep accepted and unresolved work separate
| Issue to watch for | Evidence question |
|---|---|
| Eyes soft | Inspect full-resolution capture. |
| Skin over-smoothed | Compare approved treatment. |
| Client dislikes pose | Ask preference without pressure. |
The issues above are prompts to investigate, not a diagnosis of a real defect. Record what was observed, isolate the affected output where appropriate, and refer the technical decision to the competent person or approved process. Do not copy a hypothetical response into a real incident without assessment.
Reconcile the handover
Use the agreed charging basis: Portrait session. Record ordered, completed, accepted, held and rejected output separately. Track rework time, changed scope, credits and collection dates against the same order reference. Agree retention/deletion and licence.
Proceed within a defined trial limit only after the buyer's acceptance, actual full costs and collections are recorded, and the guide's unresolved checks are addressed. The final business-specific checkpoint is: Agree retention/deletion and licence. Otherwise record a hold, revision or stop decision in file 10.
