Love that I can just pay for the photos I want! Tyrin in Atlanta has great composition and editing. Got some beautiful family pictures.

My fiancée and I used Shoott for our engagement photos. Our photo session was amazing, thanks to Shoott and our photographer Sanya.I would definitely recommend this company.

This was a wonderful experience. My husband and I wanted family pictures taken that didn’t require us buying an expensive package nor one that took a long time to do. We also wanted it to be relaxed and casual. Booking with Shoott gave us just that. Our photographer was kind, personable, and—above all—professional. We have two little girls (ages 2 & 4) so we didn’t want to have high expectations in case they weren’t in the mood. The photographer was relaxed and flexible. He helped us all feel comfortable and the girls did great. Our portfolio exceeded our expectations. We’re so happy we found Shoott via a google search!

I am so impressed with this platform, the photography and PRICES! You cannot get a family shoot for $25 a photo anywhere. I always get the entire gallery around 115 photos- which makes the photos a fraction of the price and less than my headshots. I was wondering what the catch was at first because this cannot possibly be real. Yet it is and I am so grateful to have found SHOOT and our amazing photographer Mia!!!! She’s amazing with kids, so fast but creative and gets a ton of awesome shots, calm and so sweet. Here are just a few because I don’t share my children online but the family shots are INCREDIBLE too!!!

Shoott was great! The lake Oswego location at George Roger’s park had so many photo opportunities, our photographer Matt B. Helped us pose, was very kind and relatable and knew all the best spots for lighting and background. We loved our photos! The process was easy and everything we hoped for

This was our second time using Shoott for our family pictures and I can't say enough great things! We were new to the area and hadn't found a photographer yet and decided to give Shoott a try and it's been amazing. You can pick from select locations on multiple dates. They are a quick 30 mins and you get so many great photo options. Both of our photographers have been patient with our children and had great posing suggestions. Love this company and how affordable family photos are.

My sister told me about Shoott and at first I was skeptical because it sounded too good to be true! She tried Shoott for her maternity pics and shared how the sessions connect you with local photographers in quick 30 minute sessions where you only pay for the photos you like plus have an option to tip the photographer online via Shoott later. My fiancé and I were able to do our engagement photos during our quick visit to O’ahu for wedding planning. I scheduled a session 2 weeks out online. They have a map of the locations plus a calendar online to make it easy for you to schedule a session that works for your day. You get ample notifications via email and the day before your photographer will text you. Sean at Waikiki Beach was professional, knew the area well, skillful in his photos, efficient - just overall a good experience plus communicated well. The only con is that you have 7 days to view the photos and make a decision to buy what you want and then 7 days to download them or the link inactivates. I’d suggest maybe 14 days instead due to some people traveling or it may take some time to make decision but I’m guessing it’s to save space on their servers(?) Once you buy the photos, you can download a zip file to your computer, phone - it’s electronic and yours forever! They gave us a $20 credit for editing pictures but nothing interested me from the list. I wish there was an option to edit the lighting or vibrancy of the colors vs. just focusing on slimming, blemishes, wrinkles. The prices are affordable with 10+ going for $18 each, 3 for $25 each. I’d definitely use their services again and been telling all my friends and family about Shoott! Love that they’re in multiple cities too!!
