I absolutely love shoott and recommend it to everyone! Typical Photoshoots are so expensive so and I’ve never felt that I get the increased value that justifies it. With shoott, it takes the pressure off feeling like our photos need to be perfect, everyone’s outfits have to be perfect or that my kids need to be on their best behavior with their best smiles. It’s not realistic and without the high costs, I don’t feel the same pressure to get perfect photos because they cost so much. I’ve always had wonderful photographers and great photos

Amazing service. Was super easy to book; plenty of time and location options around me. The photographer was professional, communicative, timely, and captured some great shots of us and our very antsy toddler. Loved it so much, even my hesitant husband said it was easy enough to sign up for again next time/year. Also loved the photo download and holiday card package (which was the main point of the shoot) -- downloaded my photos and placed my card order within days of getting my gallery. 10/10 would recommend.

We had a great experience with our photographer Sheryl. She was very knowledgeable and worked really well with my 7 year old daughter. Shoot was a great service and I'm sure we will use them again in the future. The price was $25 per photo unless you purchased one of the bundle packages.

Every year I book family pictures. This was my first year trying Shoott and it's the first time I feel like a got a great value! Other photographers are just outrageous when you look at the sitting fee's. Our photographer took 115 beautiful pictures. The process was easy and enjoyable. The link to look at the gallery came a few days later. I liked so many pictures I bought the package to download them all! They also threw in a free photo book in my package. I am really in awe at the value and the quality of the pictures. I am telling all my friends! I will be back. I am so thankful!

Such a great experience. Tyler our photographer was awesome. So attentive. The booking for free was definitely a perk and then purchasing what you wanted was so easy and reasonable. I would definitely use them again.

We’ve used Shoott twice now, once for my daughter’s senior photos and again for our family photos, and had a great experience both times! Both photographers were wonderful, and we absolutely loved how our photos turned out. Scheduling was super easy, and the photos are affordable compared to traditional photography. We’ll definitely use Shoott again!

I’ve had 4 sessions with Shoot photographers across different states and obviously with different photographers with each session. The one commonality between all is that I purchased the entire album for all! Always happy with the picture and how they turned how, I couldn’t just buy a few and went all in! What started as a last minute maternity shoot at 36 weeks pregnant in 2024, has become an annual-ish tradition (and then some!) to capture our little family and friends! Love the experience, photographer expertise, and ease of booking!

I've used Shoott two times now, and have been pleased both times. The first time was for a multi-generational photoshoot with 4 toddlers/babies. The goal was at least one full group shot and we got that! The second time was a single family photoshoot (2 adults, 2 children) and we ended up loving the photos and buying the entire gallery. The photographers were on time, pleasant to work with, and provided a nice end product. The value is there. Definitely seems too good to be true... but it's real, not a scam! I will be using again. This is a great, cost-effective way to get our annual family photos!

I discovered Shoott about a month ago and decided to book a family photo session while on vacation, and I’m SO glad we did\! The entire process was incredibly easy and seamless from start to finish. Our session was at 4 PM, and by the time we boarded our red-eye flight home that night, our entire gallery was already ready to view and purchase! We loved the photos so much that we purchased the entire gallery, which was still significantly more affordable than most photographers today! Our photographer, Michele, was absolutely AMAZING! Between the beautiful photos, affordability, easy booking process, and incredibly quick turnaround time, we couldn’t be happier! We will absolutely be using Shoott again!

We had such an amazing experience with Shoott during our family trip to Hawaii! Our photographer, Yuki, was absolutely wonderful! She made us feel so comfortable and kept the entire session fun, relaxed, and natural, especially with the kids. She really knew how to capture our family's personalities and those sweet, candid moments that mean so much. Our photos turned out beautiful, and we couldn't be happier! The entire process was easy and convenient from start to finish. If you're looking to capture special memories while traveling, I definitely recommend Shoott, and if you're in Oahu, ask for Yuki! We'd absolutely book with her again!
