Smiling family throws leaves for their free outdoor fall photoshoot
Tariq

Minnehaha National Park, Minneapolis-Saint Paul

We had a very wonderful time with our photographer! She made us feel so comfortable during the session... She assisted us for the posture, the location, and overall, it was a great experience. Thanks to her and Shoott to make this possible.

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.

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!
