Amazing experience with a fun and engaging photographer (Ashley M.)! She knew the location extremely well and was able to direct us to ideal spots with great scenery. She was also very creative while keeping a good balance of fun and standard poses. She also took my ideas into account! The process of booking and participating in the shoot was fast and simple. The images arrived less than a week after the shoot, and our photographer provided 56 photos for a 30 minute session. The price was reasonable ($25 per purchased photo), especially considering we paid $0 for the shoot itself since it was our first. I believe subsequent shoots have a $100 photo purchase minimum (so 4+ photos) to waive the shoot fee itself, but I think that’s reasonable considering our experience and the plethora of fun images our photographer provided :) I’d definitely consider Shoott again for fun and casual photography!

Our family has a yearly tradition to take professional photos but a few years ago we were thinking of stopping the tradition because it was getting so expensive. Then I discovered Shoott and have used them for the past 3 years and have no intention of going anywhere else. The flexible payment means that if we only want to buy a few photos and save money, we can. (Of course we intended to do that every year, and ended up buying the whole gallery each time because we loved all the photos so much!) Shoott also easily accommodates special requests and large family shoots. Their logistics are on point for all the planners out there. My very tiny gripe is one year the photographer didn’t notice or tell me I had my cell phone in my pocket and the outline of the phone can be seen on every photo. I haven’t had them printed yet, so hopefully those retouch credits you get when you purchase the full gallery don’t expire and I can at least fix that in any photos I hang on the wall (another great perk of Shoott!). All in all, highly recommended for those who want amazing quality, flexible pricing, and lots of location options!!

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!!!

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!!

I love Shoott because it’s quick and easy. The two times I’ve done it the photographers have been great to work with, on time, professional, kind, have their own suggestions but also follow yours. You don’t pay for the session just the photos you buy and they offer discounts and promotions the more you buy or if you want a full gallery. Both times I loved the photos so much I bought the full gallery. Will definitely be using them again!

We didn’t know what to expect especially with the short timeframe in which we booked our photo shoot but we were very pleasantly surprised. It was easy to book and our photographer Katie was early, met us at the appropriate place and did a fabulous job with our family photos. We selected the Jacksonville Beach location. Katie communicated with us throughout the session and helped us with ideas to make the photos great. She even held my purse through the whole session though she was already loaded with equipment! I have already recommended Shoott to others and would use it again. It was a great experience from booking, through the shoot and then checking out with the photograph packages. I also think that the pricing is reasonable and love the option to directly tip our photographer.
