Such an easy and great experience with Shoott! The turnaround time was quick, and our photos turned out amazing! Jason was fantastic to work with and made the whole process enjoyable. Would absolutely book with Shoott again!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Shoott! I always want professional photos, but used to feel stressed by getting all of the outfits figured out, making sure everyone looked good, having it timed perfectly, hoping no child was crying - so much so that I'd often postpone them given the expense. With Shoott, it takes the pressure off, and for the last 3 years I have done Shoott at least twice a year (once in the fall for holiday photos, once in the spring with my extended family). Each time, I have loved the photos so much, I have ended up purchasing the entire album. It is so reasonable! Every photographer I has met has been wonderful! The photos come extremely quickly. The :30 minute sessions are exactly the right time, and there are so many convenient locations. Thank you Shoott!

We had a great shoott! It was easy to book and our photographer was very professional and knowledgeable. We had a great location with beautiful fall foliage. Will definitely be using shoott again for next year's family photos

Excellent service- the photographer was amazing and very skilled. The whole experience was enjoyable and it is so much less than a traditional photoshoot.

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!

Maternity Photoshoot FAQs



Most maternity photoshoots take place between 28 and 34 weeks of pregnancy. During this time, your baby bump is beautifully visible while many moms-to-be still feel comfortable walking, posing, and enjoying the session.

Solid colors, flowing dresses, fitted gowns, and outfits that highlight your baby bump tend to photograph best. Choose clothing that makes you feel comfortable and confident, and consider coordinating colors if your partner or children will be joining.

Absolutely. Many families choose to include partners, siblings, and even pets in their maternity photos to celebrate this exciting milestone together.

Shoott maternity sessions are 30 minutes long. Your photographer will guide you through a variety of poses and candid moments to create a diverse gallery of images.
