Client Reviews



Woman poses with her pet dog in front of the iconic public market for her free outdoor pets photoshoot
Vanessa

Downtown Seattle, Seattle

Everything about this experience was professional, comfortable, and SO EASY. As a former wedding photographer, I know how hard it can be to shoot a client you just met, with a pet, in a tight time window. Icepong was welcoming, professional, and I had a lot of fun shooting. The final products are so much more me than almost any photos I have.

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!

Alviso Marina County Park, San Diego

Flawless process and I absolutely love our pictures. Our photographer made the shooting experience really care-free and easy and we had such a variety of shots--way more than I was expecting for a 30-minute session. Overall a great experience!

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!
