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!

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!
