Gomes Images

Last year I sponsored a team for the Madera National Little League. As a sponsor we were suppose to recieve a plaque with the team photo provided by the photographer that won the bid from the board of the league. We still have gotten ours and it doesn’t look like we ever will. The photographer who was supposed to provide the plaque wa Cathy Gomes of Gomes Images.
Mrs. Gomes was the one who was in charge of requesting and accepting bids. Then she placed her own bid that was lower than others. Only God and Cathy knows if she looked at the bids before placing hers but something stunk with the whole thing. At the very least it was a conflict of interest. The funny thing is she had to shoot many of the teams up to four times before she got the picures right.
I purchased a photo of my daughters team and received a receipt. When Mrs. Gomes got the order form she ripped it up and threw it in my face. I showed her the receipt and she walked off very mad. At the end of the season her husband gave me the photo which was in black and white.
As part of her contract she was to provide the plaques but for some reason she refuses to provide mine. In my opinion she is unprofessional, unprepared and unpleasent to deal with. I would highly recommend not doing business with this woman. On the other hand her husband is a pleasure to be around and work with.
There is a story on
about the whole conflict of interest.
