Client Reviews
Carly
Santa Monica Pier, Los Angeles
Could not be happier with photo session. The photographer was amazing and had the best ideas for poses to create the most beautiful photos. The experience was beyond better than anything we expected!
Alycia
North Katy, Houston
I loved everything about this process! I made a very last minute decision to get maternity photos and I’m SO glad I did!...They produced beautiful photos of my final pregnancy that I will cherish forever. Thank you!
Joshua
Gallup Park, Detroit-Ann Arbor
We are incredibly awkward people, but our photographer made us feel pretty comfortable for our shoot. The process and the low-pressure of not needing to purchase anything until we saw the shots was just what we were looking for!
Francine
Downtown Houston, Houston
Easy and simple booking. Our photographer was wonderful and so understanding of taking photos with three young kids. Quality of photos and editing was excellent. Definitely plan to book again with Shoott again!
Misty
Harborwalk, Boston
We had such a wonderful experience with our photographer...We ended up purchasing the entire gallery (we loved them all!), but we like that there was an option to just select ones we wanted. We will definitely be using this service again. Thank you Shoott Team!
Molly

We used Shoott for my son’s Senior portraits. It was a great experience, we will totally use Shoott again in the future! So easy to schedule, great photographer, fast turn on the photos and a super-simple website to navigate.
