I also know for a fact he has lost the Reno Babe Ruth Baseball account due to some legal troubles.  I think if an entire league will drop his services, that is a big warning sign.  I also know that he tried to get a Galena high school JROTC account and couldn't even get that.  People are starting to learn about him, and I think sites like this help greatly!  Spread the word, Kelly Wheeler is not someone you want to do business with!!

Since my case with
Kelly Wheeler is finally over, and yes, my appeal did get denied, I will post
my story on this site so everyone can read it and judge for themselves.  Mr. Wheeler took pictures for my girlfriend
and me in Oct or 2008.  Mr. Wheeler
assured us that he could do what we wanted because he had done them before for
himself and a girlfriend at some point.  We
paid $96 for the sitting.  Approx. a week
later we went back to his studio/residence @ 235 Hillcrest Dr in Reno and
looked at all the pictures.  We looked at
all of them, even the test shots where he was focusing, etc.  After we asked how we can choose which ones
we wanted.  He would not let look at the pictures
he took more than that one time. 
Meaning, we had to decide which ones we wanted right there, after seeing
them once on a slideshow.  He was really
squirrely and child like at this point of the transaction.  We convinced him, given a digital age, to
print out thumb nails of all the pictures so we could pick out which ones we
wanted. We did, found a few we liked, most were mediocre.  We then realized he was one of those cheesy
high school senior photo style photographers. 
More power to him, he found his niche. 

We went back to Mr.
Wheelers residence/studio and had him put the 10 we wanted on a CD.  Getting him to do this was like pulling
teeth.  He is very archaic in his
methods.  I think this is his way to
ensure you have to buy prints from him.  He charged my credit card $106 for 10 pictures
on a CD.  We were so over Mr. Wheeler by
this point, we just wanted to be done. 
We get home and look at the pictures we had just bought for $106 and
they were 6 KB big.  Small. Tiny.  Worthless. 
He charged us $106 for thumb nails. 
I called Mr. Wheeler that day and he said Oh, well. I asked for a
refund, he declined.  He said, I should
have specified that I wanted them big enough to see.  His defense is that if he makes them bigger,
we could have printed them and he wouldnt make any money.  Fine, but then dont charge someone over $100
for pictures they cant use.  Lets just
say he acted like a baby on the phone and hung up on me. 

He immediately
called my girlfriend and told her that he and I had gotten into a verbal fight
and that she should call him or come over so he can make it right.  So, we did. 
She called him twice and he didnt answer.  We went over to his studio/residence per his
request.  He didnt answer his door and
ran out the back of his house, got into his car and tried to drive away.  Like a coward.  He then hit me with his car.  I slammed me fists into his car yelling at
him for hitting me.  We called the police
and wrote out our reports (Mr. Wheeler did not write a report for some reason)  while Mr. Wheeler all of sudden, got super
tough.  He was yelling at the officers,
yelling at us.  At one point the officer
actually told him to calm down.  Funny
isnt it?  This is a photographer who
does senior high school portraits! He wouldnt get out of the car earlier to
talk, but once the police arrived he was one hell of a bad-ass.  The police report of this incident is
amazing, if anyone wants to read it, I suggest doing it.  It is public record, just as Mr. Wheelers
arrest record (Case # 08-35850).  Anyone can get copies of both from RPD. 

We took him to
small claims court where he had a lawyer (remember this, because I was unaware
lawyers were even allowed in small claims court).  I did not. 
His lawyer beat the shit out of me. 
No joke.  Tore me apart.  Kelly sat there.  Cowardly. 
Lied to the Judge about even hitting me, despite admitting it (see the
police report), saying how scared he was of me and my girlfriend, and how he
was trying to be a good father and leave (funny, since he is on trial now for
beating his daughters) even though he left a message on my girl friends phone
telling us to come over and fix it if needed.  
His lawyer did her job.  She beat
up someone without any legal experience at all. 
I am truly proud of her.  She
attacked the Xanax is take for anxiety (which is ironic, because the Xanax
should have kept me calm), she attacked everything she could.  I was literally defenseless.  Of course, like Mr. Wheeler does, he sits and
hides.  Like a coward.  He knows it and now hopefully more people do
as well.  The Judge ruled that my medical
bills from Mr. Wheeler hitting me were my problem; his damaged car, my problem.  He got lucky and had a lawyer when I did
not.  He won, because I w as nave to
think that morality, honesty, and integrity are still qualities people possess.

We, of course
appealed.  We lost.  We found out after the fact about the sexual harassment,
the arrests, and the child abuse Mr. Wheeler has all been guilty of.  He is not a good man and everyone needs to
know.  His business will suffer.  All these things are starting to catch up to
him.  My only comfort is knowing that I
can write this and he will read it. I hope other people will not even take the
risk of using him.  I am hoping he cant
hurt his children anymore and that he wont have any more clients to sexually
harass or creep out.

Mr. Wheeler and
Photoz by Kelly are awful.  I have had a
nightmare that almost lasted a year.  I
lost a lot of money dealing with one of the biggest scum bags in Reno.  Dont make the same mistakes I did.   The
only thing I regret is not doing my research first.  All I had to do was google his name and I
would have seen a bunch of horrible things about him; enough to detour me from
even using him.  Even the simple task of
asking around would have been so useful. 
After the original incident, when I would tell people about it the
minute I said the name Kelly Wheeler, a look would always come over their
faces.  It was truly amazing.

This is not
slander.  Check sites like Reno Justice
Court for a confirmation of all court, trials, and other records pertaining to
Mr. Wheeler.  Go to the Reno Police Dept
and obtain a copy of Mr. Wheelers arrest record and the police report I refer
to in my statement.
