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!

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!

Mimi

Hoboken @ Pier 13, New Jersey

Shoott was incredibly easy to use. It took no more than 30 seconds to book a session and then day of our photographer texted us exactly where to meet. Not only did she fully understand the vibe of our photos but was able to wrangle a baby and a dog to get fantastic photos!
