Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Florida

Constitutionality of photographing clients

We have a financial advisory service and want to take pictures of our clients. The pictures will not be used for any purpose other than for our own internal files. The boss has a hard time putting faces with names. Is it alright to use a computer camera (or any other type of camera) to take these pictures. Must you have client consent? Thank you for your time and assistance.
