Here’s what our clients are saying about their experience with Shore Shooters Beach Photography…
Holy goodness gracious!!!!!! I could not have been happier with the customer service from every single person I interacted with. From booking the session to immediate responses to every email answering all my questions and putting every tiny worry to rest, this was by far the easiest photo session I have ever booked.
And LAURA! LAURA! I mean my entire family was full on ANGRY about having to take family pictures during their beach vacation and I heard about how horrible I was including on the walk to the beach to have the pictures taken. I agreed they did not have to get ready, fix hair, wear matching outfits, nothing…..easy breezy beautiful! But from the moment we met Laura she really did make it all easy breezy and the pictures couldn’t be more beautiful. We all had so much fun, the kids didn’t even want it to end, I had to actually tell her she could leave anytime because they kept finding more stuff to do for her to take pictures of. She was full of ideas and fun. We all love the pictures and they are going to make the best Christmas presents.
Thank you so much for capturing the essence of us, the love and fun we have for each other and the beach.
Tori
I absolutely loved our session with Meagan M! The whole process was such a delightful breeze and my whole family loved her relaxing personality. She helped us get the shots we wanted quickly and with ease. I really appreciate the upfront pricing with no hidden fees or surprises. Everything went exactly as laid out from the beginning and we received our pictures quicker than expected! I will absolutely be a repeat customer!
Alyssa
What an exceptional experience! The photography is so high quality and it’s also affordable. That isn’t an easy pair to find! I’m not going to lie…I was skeptical after our shoot because it just seemed too easy. I’ve had professional photographers in the past that made everything feel so staged. Michelle gave us a totally organic and natural shoot and the pictures show it! It felt more like a sunrise family beach walk than it did a photo session. The scheduling process was so simple and Shore Shooters easily made a few changes for us after some unexpected travel mishaps. Michelle was punctual, professional, and fun. I can’t say enough good things about our experience and we’re so happy with the results. Thank you!!
Dominique
I am beyond happy and excited about your photo shoot with Josh and Shore Shooters. This has always been a dream of mine to have family pictures on the beach, so I just wanted them to be perfect and y’all surpassed that. I am in love with our photos, it is making it hard to choose which ones we want! Josh was absolutely wonderful and fun. We take family photos yearly and this was by far the most relaxed and fun photo shoot we have had. My boys were being natural and having fun, Josh captured so many natural, “unposed” shots of us all and that is exactly what I wanted. The turn around time is nothing short of amazing, I was SO excited to be able to see my beautiful pictures within 48 hours!!! The Shore Shooter customer service is attentive and quick to respond. The editing team did beautiful work on a couple minor details that needed fixed. I will definitely be using y’all again and recommending Shore Shooters to my family, friends, and clients!
Shelly
Great photographer, amazing pictures, straight-forward process! I loved our photographer, Tiffany, who delivered great pictures despite it being one of the windiest days ever on that beach. She was so professional and easy-going and knew exactly how to deal with small kids and toddlers to get the best shot. Tiffany was so flexible and able to work with whatever we wanted to do. The price is clear and you get a gallery of all your images with the ability to purchase prints and/or download your images. Every other photographer I talked to had some ridiculous pricing or complicated process that muddied the experience. Would not hesitate to use this company again in the future, especially if all their photographers are as good as Tiffany is!
Alex
Ryan was AMAZING! He was personable, he listened to the exact style/look we wanted, and he delivered exactly what we wanted! I highly recommend him as a photographer overall, and I really liked the ease of booking through shore shooters. I will likely book another shoot in the future because of how much I love our photos!
Remi
What a flawless experience! We can’t say enough good things about our photographer Wendy! Due to weather we actually had to move our session to the next day, she rearranged her schedule to make it work, met us at our condo and walked to the beach. She listened to what we wanted and suggested other ideas which resulted in 137 pictures for us! She was so great to work with and definitely has the southern hospitality charm and made everyone feel comfortable. We want to come back and do the whole family next year with her. The quality of time that you get, editing, and prices can’t be beat compared to other Hilton Head photographers. We were also really amazed that we received our photos back and edited in less than 24 hours. We weren’t expecting them for at least a week! Shore Shooters will definitely become our family beach photographer as long as the business is open!
Brittany
I was so nervous, this was the first family pictures since our baby had gotten sick 1.5 years prior, making him require special needs and lots of patience. Our photographer went above and beyond on patience, understanding, and making this momma feel like her family was #1 that night to the photographer. We love the pictures and can’t say enough good about the photographer we had!!!
Courtney
I didn’t realize that dogs weren’t allowed on the beach without a permit 🤦♀️. When I shared this with our photographer, Lauren, she went the extra mile to find us a beach venue where we could get pictures on the beach with our dog. I really appreciated this and our family photos with our dog look fantastic!
Sara
Meagan was fantastic!! She made us feel relaxed and happy. She was able to keep the shoot a wonderful experience with included my in-laws! I can’t say enough good things about our experience and Meagan. Our pictures came out so wonderful!
Patty
We had such a great experience finally capturing very overdue family photos against the beautiful backdrop of Miramar Beach/Fort Walton area shores. EVERYTHING about our experience was pleasant…from initial inquiry not long before our trip and coordinating with Walt, to securing the day/time for a session and easily making our deposit, to coordination with our amazing photographer Sidney the week of vacation and day of session, to (very quickly) receiving our photos! Sidney was great with our circus of a family and captured beautiful but very real and natural pictures of our family. I am still in awe of the quality and professional photos we received especially at such a great price. The company overall and Sidney as an individual photographer earned our praises…I would definitely hire them again and recommend their talent and services to family, friends, and anyone looking for a seamless experience and beautiful photos of family memories! Thank you Shore Shooters Beach Photography and Sidney!
Melissa
Brittany was so easy to work with! She contacted us about some bad weather approaching and re-scheduled for earlier in the day. We would much rather have had some sunset pics, but that was out of her control. She did an amazing job with some uncooperative children, and the pics turned out beautiful! Would highly recommend Shore shooters! Also, the
Dede
This experience was amazing. Rob and Tammie are awesome. On time – friendly and so much fun. And wonderful photographers. Will definitiely book again and would love to have them do our photos. I couldn’t have asked for anything more.
Pamela
We enjoyed working with April and are so pleased with the photos. She was very patient and relaxed with out group of children. I appreciated the customer service assistance when I needed to change the scheduled date. It was very easy and appreciated. Thanks for a great experience!
Laura
I absolutely loved everything from the scheduling process to the actual session. Rachel was amazing and very easy to open up to and I loved every single picture.
Dalton
Off the bat, Rob called before we went. Gave us some good advice and directions to a spot close by our house. When we met he was SO good to the little ones we had running around. He made everything super easy, relaxing considering the big group we had. Made us laugh and had a blast while shooting. Took the best pictures and we loved it all! Highly recommend!!
Haylie
First I want to give a huge thank you to Britt! When we initially booked it was for Gulf Shores in May but due to Covid we had to cancel. Britt was so helpful and rescheduled our shoot for not only a later date but also a different location (Destin). During the shoot, Laura was so sweet and patient with our kids. We got so many great shots with her. Thank you Britt, Laura and the whole Shore Shooters team for this experience.
Stephanie
Joshua was next-level amazing to work with. Was gracious, patient, fun, charming, kind and even funny. We loved him! AND…the photos are AMAZING! Wowza. Way exceed our expectations. Everyone is so excited to have the gorgeous photos.
Camille
Michelle was amazing with my family and the 4 little kids. She made all of us feel very comfortable and made sure we got all the photos we needed. She was on time (which is huge for me) and was very professional. The pictures turned out incredible and we couldn’t be more thankful we were able to capture this time a the beach with our family.
Jennifer
Rob and his wife Tammy were absolutely wonderful! We had a group of roughly 15 people and a surprise proposal during our shoot. They were able to get us some amazing pictures of everyone as well as fully capture the proposal too. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for amazing pictures and just down to earth people.
Nathen
We had our pictures done in Treasure Island Florida and our photographer Chrisanne was absolutely amazing. She made us feel so comfortable. She was friendly and sweet and took into consideration what we wanted out of our pictures. Thank you for a great experience, I’m so happy with our pictures !!
Angel
Else was amazing and it turned into such a special day for me! She was very flexible with scheduling with everything going on and was very professional! Loved her and the shots she captured!
Jadi
Working with Wendy was a great experience. She listened to what we wanted and the session went so quickly. We love the results!
Ramona
I love all the pictures! We had to switch locations due to our hotel canceling our reservations. Shore Shooters quickly changed our location without any issues! Our photographer, Lauren, was amazing to work with!
Sara
We had the best experience!! We LOVE Michelle! She made the picture taking process so easy and effortless with 2 preschool age boys. She captured wonderful posed family pictures and playful ones of everyone. I will HIGHLY recommend her to other families we know that will be vacationing in Gulf Shores! We will treasure these sweet family pictures forever!!
Anna
We thought Joshua was super professional and friendly. He made everyone very comfortable and it was just a really fun shoot! We absolutely will schedule again next time on vacation and request Joshua. The pictures are even better than we could have hoped for.
Jana
All together, this experience was easy and pain free. From scheduling to paying and getting the photos, I’ve been very pleased. You have a great process and the photos are well done with an unbelievable timeline. Thank you!
Alison
We are so happy that we reached out to Shore Shooters to capture our family time at the beach. When we arrived, the day originally scheduled looked bleak and they were quick to reschedule us later in the week. Rob was our photographer and he communicated with us the day before, providing location and photo of himself, so we would know who to look for. With little ones (age 2 and 4), you can’t help but worry that they may not be too excited or cooperate but Rob was great and captured the best photos. He was patient and was able to get those precious smiles! He ran down the beach with them and captured the greatest shots!!! He will definitely be the person we request next time! Thank you Shore Shooters and Rob!!!
Debbie
I love our family photos! Michelle was easy to work with and did great with our kids. I’m also excited that we have so many photos to choose from and they were edited and sent to us quickly!
Lindsey
This was the easiest photo session that I have ever done with my family. We are a large group and we have done photos in studios in the past, but the outdoor setting was perfect. I had such great service from everyone I interacted with at Shore Shooters. I would absolutely use your service again and I will be telling my friends how well this went. The photos are amazing and our photographer, Amanda, was really good at working all of us into the pictures. She was very accommodating and she had great ideas for each photo! And she spent every minuet with us and even watched the sun go down as we walked back to our resort. This is the best present I have ever gotten for my grandma!
Sara
Alexis was very kind, positive, professional, and fun!
Brandi
Sarah is a very talented photographer. She not only created wonderful images but also did a fantastic job working with our family and all the young children. We will want to use her again and recommend her highly!
Joel
Very quick and easy. We definitely enjoyed this experience and Brittany capturing memories that will last a lifetime!
Tricia
I was proposed to at one of these sessions. The photographer was amazing and she did awesome keeping the secret. The photos look amazing!!
Alexis
Rob was awesome with our family and did a great job. I would highly recommend your company and Rob! Thanks
Shelly
Thanks so much for making this experience so easy! We loved how Matt captured our silly moments as well as capturing our family(s)in portraits. The amount of pictures received was truly wonderful! We will definitely book with Shore Shooters again when we have family reunions in the future!
Theresa
Michael changed my life. I will never forget him, he made the whole thing possible. I highly recommend to anyone who is looking for someone friendly, professional and willing to go the extra step for perfection. Thanks again Shore Shooters!!!!
William
Kelsea did such a great job! We had a fairly large group with a baby, little kids and teenagers….all of which do not enjoy standing around and being still for photos. She got us in and out of there in no time and we still received quality portraits! A+ in my book! I would use Kelsea and Shore Shooters again, without hesitation!
Heather
This is our second Photoshoot with Shore Shooters in Gulf Shores and you guys never disappoint! This year we had to reschedule due to rain and you all were able to fit us in the next day! We absolutely love the beautiful pictures you captured of our family and our sweet and wild boys!! Brittany did an amazing job! Thank you so much for making this an easy and fun experience!
Allison
We took photos with your company 5 years ago and I was so in love with them and once again I am loving them so much!
Brittany was amazing with the grand babies and that is definitely a gift that not all people have.
Since my oldest son has been in the military, we don’t get to spend a lot of quality time together so this time shooting the photos and the result are a huge gift to me!
Stacey
Michelle was AH-MAZING!!! My daughters senior pictures are beyond what we could have imagined! Thank you!!
Susan
As a portrait photographer myself, I can say Ryan did an outstanding job controlling the shoot and his pose suggestions were spot on! Great personality as well. I am very happy, the shots turned out beautiful.
Derek
We just used Shore Shooters in Pensacola Beach for our family pictures and they truly delivered. Their customer service was top notch from start to finish. We had a VERY large group, but they contacted me right after booking to work out details to make the session seamless. Our photographers Cheyrl and Jennifer were the epitome of professional and worked hard to ensure we got great shots. They got there early and stayed to make sure everyone got the shot they wanted. And we had our gallery in two days! Highly recommend this for your beach pictures, you will not be disappointed.
M & M
Rob and his wife were so wonderful to work with. They were great with the kids (even the uncooperative 2 year old 🤪) and didn’t seem stressed or phased by any of it. Rob was able to get many wonderful pictures of everyone. We will definitely use him again!
Rachel
We had Brittney shoot our surprise engagement at Gulf Shores beach and it was such a great experience. I was nervous and trying to not give anything away and Brittney did an excellent job at guiding us through the entire process while still allowing flexibility for the moment to feel genuine and special to us.
Andrew
Shore Shooters was great to work with from every aspect including scheduling pictures, a surprise engagement, a fabulous photographer (Chyrel), photo turn around time, payment, quality of photos, and overall process. Thank you so much for creating memories of a lifetime!
Chrysti
Super pleased with the finished product, will definitely book again! Rob was fantastic to work with and was so patient with our toddler. Can’t so thank you enough for the priceless memories he captured!
Kylee
We offer the highest possible compliments to Sarah, our ShoreShooters photographer in Fort Myers. Between weather delays and young ones’ schedules, we weren’t sure we would be able to complete our appointment. Sarah’s patience, positive attitude, and sheer professionalism found a way to create a basket full of images and memories our family will cherish for generations. She was confident and clever in leading us into situations that provided great moments for shooting, and made great use of our natural surroundings. Sarah is one talented photographer. she delivered everything we hoped for and more to add to a 40th anniversary celebration and so many family memories. We can’t thank her enough for her persistance and skill!
Dan
Jaylee was great! She was patient with our kiddos and very easy to work with. Sometimes dads and little boys don’t love to play along with family photos, but she kept them engaged and made it a painless, fun process! And we got some fantastic photos from it. Communication was great too. Thank you, Jaylee!
Crystal
We absolutely enjoyed working with Chyrel. My family and I have been coming to Pensacola for the past 10 years and this was the first time we hired a photographer to help with family portraits. Chyrel went above and beyond in her work. She was professional, friendly and patient considering that we had a big group and a large range of ages present. We will definitely book again with Chyrel.
Every member of the family enjoyed working with Chyrel and were pleased with the photos 🙂
Laura
We had the most amazing experience with Chris in Fort Morgan, AL. There were 18 of us, and he was able to capture great photos with working with all of us. He got us in and out, which is exactly what we wanted. He came up with creative ideas, and we cannot wait to see the pictures!
Kristine
Rob with Shore Shooters did an amazing job with our large blended family! We wanted to be able to capture us all together and also get some separate smaller group photos as it is difficult to get us all together at one time. We have three little ones too and he was able to get precious photographs of them. We will cherish these photos for years to come and we are so glad we chose Shore Shooters! Thank you so much. Would highly recommend Rob and Shore Shooters!
Kristi
Lauren was great. She was especially good with the kids.
Julie
Chyrel was so fun, nice, creative, and helpful! Her instructions were easy to follow. She took the time to look for the perfect location before our scheduled photo shoot. She went above and beyond our expectations! Her photos look amazing!
Michelle
Meagan W. was awesome! We worked with her in Gulf Shores. We had a large group with 4 little kids and she was so patient the entire time with everyone! We would definitely book with her again!
Elizabeth
Phoebe was absolutely amazing! The pictures are stunning and she was so professional and fun to work with! We will definitely be using Shore Shooters in the future and will request Phoebe!
Stephanie
Brittney did a superb job handling our large group which included three hi-energy children under 4 and low-endurance elderly. Her advice to go to Grayton Beach State Park that was handicapped friendly and to rent a beach wheelchair for my elderly mother-in-law was a life saver. There is no way we could have gotten her onto the beach for the photo session otherwise. The photos are so beautiful, that I teared up when I first looked at them. We may never get all 4 generations of us together for a family photograph like that, so we will treasure these photos forever. Brittney, Excellent work!! You hit a home run!!
Alicia
Michelle was great! As a former photographer I was worried my expectations would not be met. Her photography skills and professionalism exceeded my expectations. My goal was one frame able portrait now I have several to choose from.
Nicole
It was wonderful! Everything about the process was easy. Our photographer Cheryl, was so thoughtful and creative in capturing everything we wanted. She was kind and just a delight to meet. We are so happy with out the pictures turned out. Seriously, cannot say enough good things!
Lauren
We LOVE all of our beautiful pictures! They are just gorgeous!! Brittney C. was an amazing photographer and made the photo shoot easy and fun. Thank you, Shore Shooters!! We will see you next year!❤️❤️
Paula
Sarah worked magic with our two small children and created such a relaxed and fun atmosphere. I was overwhelmingly happy with the amount and quality of the photos. And, the turn around time was unbelievable. 10/10 for us!
Katy
Michelle was awesome! She was very patient and great with our kids. We truly enjoyed our shoot and the photos are beautiful. Thanks so much!!
Jessica
Jaylee was the best! She worked with us on getting just the right location and making sure we had easy access due to a member of our family with limited mobility. Her pictures exceeded my expectations!! Will definitely be booking with Shore Shooters again with our next visit.
Carole
We had a big family photo shoot with Liz-She did a great job and was able to work with all of us like a pro!
Lisa
Jennifer was so sweet and patient. She was also so efficient and easy to work with. Our family pictures with 10…including 4 kids…couldn’t have gone smoother! We have some beautiful pictures and are so thankful!!
Melanie
We shot family pictures with Michelle on Tuesday, August 6th in Fort Morgan, AL. Michelle was communicative, punctual and best of all such a pleasure to work with! She made the whole thing fun and easy. And most importantly, the pictures she took turned out amazing! I couldn’t have been happier and would recommend Shore Shooter and Michelle to anyone in a heartbeat. Getting our pictures so quickly just is icing on the cake. After waiting weeks for family pictures, I can’t believe how easy and fast this all was. Thank you again. I am so happy we found you on Facebook.
Nicole
We loved working with Else. She was very adaptable to our group needs (a 1 year old and a 91 year old). She was able to capture happy shots even though both kids had meltdowns. I really appreciate how flexible she was and how she captured each family within our group true to themselves. She is very talented! Thank you for helping us capture four generations on the beach!
Abigail
The entire experience was great. Michelle was so sweet and upbeat. The kids responded to her so well; we couldn’t believe how well the little ones cooperated! Thank you for beautifully capturing this time in our lives.
Sandie
Chrisanne was wonderful. Great communication, very friendly, and professional. She put us at ease right away. She listened to what we wanted or didn’t want and found creative ways to get different poses that we really liked. I am very pleased with our final photos. The whole process from start to finish was super simple. I am from out of state and trying to make arrangements for this plus plan a vacation, plus get Christmas done, plus a birthday celebration for my 17 year old daughter, it was very much appreciated that this went smoothly. Thank you so much!!
Laura
This is our second Photoshoot with Shore Shooters in Gulf Shores and you guys never disappoint! This year we had to reschedule due to rain and you all were able to fit us in the next day! We absolutely love the beautiful pictures you captured of our family and our sweet and wild boys!! Brittany did an amazing job! Thank you so much for making this an easy and fun experience!
Alison
Jaylee was amazing! Will definitely request her when we return! So easy to work with and she was great with our 2 year old! Overall great experience!
Suzan
I’m so pleased with the results of our photo shoot! Ryan was the best. He was extremely professional, and kind and patient with our family of 9, including two 9 month olds. We will treasure our beautiful family photos on Carillon Beach. I can’t thank Ryan enough!
Julie
Lexi was great! She had the patience with all our kids and we had fun!
Daphanie
We loved Michelle! The pictures are great and she was so friendly and accommodating. Thank you!

Michelle was such an amazing photographer for our shoot! She did so great with our 6 month old and was upbeat the whole session. If we’re back again next year, we’ll definitely be using Shore Shooters and Michelle again. 10/10, will definitely be recommending to any of our friends coming to the area!
Mary Joyce
We loved Austin! He was very nice, patient and had wonderful ideas. Thank you, Austin!

Leslie
Jaylee was awesome! She made the photo shoot very fun for our family and we love the photos! Thank you so much for capturing such great memories for us!
Kathleen
The first experience of Family Photos on Fort Myers Beach and Sarah was amazing! We had a toddler who is not easy to get pictures of and she got wonderful shots. These photos will be cherished forever. Thank you so much Sarah… until we do this again!
Michelle
We loved having Chyrel as our photographer. It showed that she truly cared about us and about the pictures. So many people have asked us where we got our pictures done already. If we are ever back in town and needing pictures, we know who to call. Thank y’all so much! Our engagement photos are amazing!!
Sarah
Rachel was amazing! She was so kind and fun! She really made the whole processes seamless and smooth. The turnaround time on our pictures was so fast. We all had a great time sitting around, laughing, and swooning over our beautiful pictures! Thank you so much for such a great experience!
Katie
Laura was perfectly suited to photograph our family gathering. We had 2 very young babies, and Laura handled the challenges they presented, such as fear of sand and occasional crying, as the professional (and grandmother) she is. She got them to smile and she knew exactly which combinations of grandparents, children, individual family units, etc we wanted and needed. We did not have to ask her to alter what she planned. She waited on the right lighting conditions and photographed all of us in advantageous ways. There were loads of poses and combinations to please everyone. Thank you so much. It was a wonderful, once in a lifetime, memory-making moment which we will treasure!
Jennifer
Ryan was very easy to work with and very accommodating. He did a great job of working with 2 toddlers who weren’t very interested in having their pictures taken.
Donna
Sarah was awesome taking our beach pics at Fort Myers Beach! Definitely recommend both her and Shore Shooters!!
Lori
Our photographer Michelle was amazing. We had a 7 month old so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Michelle was very patient and made sure we got plenty of good shots with the baby. She was prepared and professional. I would definitely use her again.
Jenny
Michelle was FANTASTIC to work with! My rambunctious soon to be 3 year old was tired and hungry and she was so patient with him. Best of all the pictures turned out better than I ever imagined!
Danielle
We haven’t taken family pictures in almost 5 years, because we have 5 kids under 8 (and well we are lucky during a session to get 1 good picture.) Oh my goodness! Laura went above and beyond and captured our family so perfectly!! We LOVE them all!!!
Lindsey
Wendy, our photographer was wonderful! She was professional and fun from the beginning to end of the photoshoot. The photos turned gorgeous, Wendy captured the best of all of us. I’ve always wanted a family photo that looked like it was out of a vacation magazine and guess what…I finally got it!! Thank you Wendy for making our family photos beautiful and thank you Shore Shooters for making the price so affordable and the process so easy!
Ann
Brittany was outstanding! She immediately bonded with our 18 month old daughter that has been extremely shy when meeting new people, which resulted in many smiles and beyond beautiful photos. Our experience was 10/10 from start to finish!!
Emily
Our extended family photo shoot with Walt exceeded our expectations and the pictures turned out beautiful! The online appointment process was quick and easy along with great communication from photographer Walt. Definitely recommend Shore Shooters to anyone vacationing in the Gulf Shores, AL area.
Kristi
We so enjoyed our photo session with Wendy. All the adults and children continue to say how much fun we had at the beach having our photos taken. And the pictures are beautiful! Thanks for making our experience a highlight of our family vacation.
Douglas
Great experience! Beautiful pictures! Chelsi was great!
Kristine
We really enjoyed our photo session with Sarah at Ft. Myers Beach, FL on Monday, November 18. She was very professional, yet very fun to work with. We vacation with kids and grandkids about once a year in Florida, so we would probably do a session in a couple of years again. Sarah was great with our 3-year old and 1-year old grand daughters.
We like the format of being able to share and download the photos and print at our leisure. The quality is great. The poses and “fun” shots were all great.
We look forward to doing this again in the future.
Thank you!
Becky
We loved our experience with both photographers. You were so easy to work with and made us comfortable. It was a great gift that we were able to give to my mother-in-law, as she had talked about getting family photos for quite some time, but the details never came together. Thank you for welcoming us and capturing our time in Alabama as a family! We greatly appreciate it!
Jenna
Rachel is fantastic! I love our portraits. Thank you!
Katie
Our pictures were wonderful. We will forever treasure them.
Cindy
Michelle was amazing!!! We actually had fun. Great price! Very convenient location.
Jennifer
We had a wonderful time with the photographer. We love the pictures!
Carolyn
Ryan was great! We loved the experience! Thank you so much!
Michelle
Thank You! Wonderful Experience. The beginning of a family tradition.
Crystal
We loved our photographer and the pictures. She made the whole process fun and easy! Our only problem is choosing which pictures we’re going to print.
Addye
Needed a picture for my wedding anniversary post on Facebook. The lady who answered the phone took screenshots of five of the pictures that had not been uploaded and sent them to me on my phone. Big extra effort. Thanks.
Drew
Jenn was great! She was very sweet and patient with our 3 year old. Picture turned around was quick. Overall experience excellent!
Natalie
Chyrel was fantastic.Booking the date was super easy! They checked with me prior to our appointment and answered all my questions. Chyrel met us a few minutes early and listened to my concerns! She waited for the perfect sunset lighting and captured just that….perfect pictures! She was so fun and so happy and upbeat! She joked with us and made us all feel very comfortable! I highly recommend her!
Jessica
Michelle was wonderful!! She has such a friendly personality. We were scared weather would negatively affect our photo shoot, Michelle made contact with me days before and let me know she was aware and eased my worries. I can’t praise our experience with her as our photographer enough.
Sarah
We had a wonderful experience using Shore Shooters! We were at a house in Fort Morgan, AL and Courtney came straight to us to take photos! She was so sweet and great with kiddos. This was a memory trip for my father who passed away in 2019 and she made sure everyone got the photos/poses they wanted! The weather was supposed to be crummy so she kept and eye on the forecast and was even willing to come 2 hours earlier to make sure we got our pictures! It was such a quick turn around having the photos before we even left town and great quality too considering we got over 200! Thank you Courtney!!
Amy
Sarah was absolutely amazing. She was professional, kind and fun. She did a great job with the kiddos and was very patient. We will definitely book pictures through Shore Shooters again.
Brittany
Brittany was so sweet & patient. We had an uncooperative 1 year old and sh handled it like a pro. She even offered alternative shots with the baby & the rest of the family. Please Thank her again for her kindness & patience. We will definitely try again next year & ask for her again!
Paige
It was our first time to use Shore Shooters and I can assure you that we will be using you again! We love our photos. Thank you!
Melissa
Very easy process to book a session. Photographer was knowledgeable about the area and recommending a great place to have the pictures done. Wendy was a great photographer!! So nice and made the pictures so fun! Can’t wait to book for our next trip!
Sarah
Sarah in Fort Myers was our photographer, and she was phenomenal. We choose the sunset timing, even though our 10 month old starts to get tired around 8ish. Towards the end of our session our baby had had enough. Sarah was friendly, accommodating and goofy which kept our baby smiling and in good spirits. Everything was smooth from booking the session, finding a location, the pictures and receiving the picture gallery within 24 hours. I am impressed with the pictures and the entire experience. Thank you Sarah and Shore Shooters!
Michelle
Sarah was very friendly and easy to work with. She had quick ideas for the shoot at our site. She worked well with the kid to keep them included.
Lee
My fiancé Andy and I were a little nervous at first about the shoot. Michelle made us feel at ease and our pictures came out amazing!! Thank you so much for working with us and allowing us to capture our silly sides.
Kristen
Sarah was very sweet and patient with our big group. She did an amazing job, love out pictures.
Patricia
We had a great time with Chyrel. She made sure to take care of all of our photo needs and wants with multiple different poses. It was exactly what we were looking for and we didn’t feel rushed at all. The pictures turned out beautiful and all of us were so happy.
Michelle
Rachel was wonderful! The girls said she was fun, energetic and had great ideas. It was my daughter’s 16th birthday and she had 9 friends with her. The pictures are great and very well done. So far every one of the kids has gone crazy over them too.
Kathryn
Sarah, our photographer was amazing! We enjoyed her easy going manner and she put us all at ease from the moment we said hello! Sarah chatted on the phone prior to our appointment. Since we are vacationing, Sarah recommended a local park for our shoot. We are so grateful we took her suggestion. The photographs turned out so gorgeous! Thank you!
Carrie
To say that I walked into this blindly, never use you nor knew anyone who had, I was very pleased. Walt was excellent. He was very professional, but made the experience very personal. He greeted us by knowing all of our names, knew all the right spots and made it an enjoyable experience. He was open for our ideas and will to go with the flow. Pictures were beautiful! Would highly recommend your company and definitely Walt.
If the opportunity comes up again I will be contacting you.
Karen
Madalane did our family sunset photo session and was absolutely wonderful to work with. It’s never easy taking photos with a one year old close to bedtime but she was great with our little girl and we got some amazing photos to remember this sweet time by. Would definitely recommend!
Amy
Sarah did a great job! She was so easy to communicate with and was great with our kids. We will definitely recommend Shore Shooters to anyone looking for beach pictures!
Heather
Brittany was wonderful! She captured exactly what we wanted for our family pics. She was also great with all of the kids and was very patient! Our photos exceeded our expectations. Thank you Brittany

Chyrel was absolutely amazing! She was fun, full of energy and great to work with! She captured our family perfectly! I would highly recommend her to anyone in the future!!
Jessica
Rachel was great! Even though we had a 2 year old who only wanted to go into the ocean, she still was able to get some great pics of our little angel… and the rest of our challenging bunch. The photos are beautiful.
Thank you so much!

Just wanted to say Sarah was just awesome! Best photographer that I have ever worked with! Kuddos to you Sarah!

We had a blast doing this! She made my 88 year old Mom very comfortable! Thanks again!!!
Lynn
Rachel was absolutely amazing!!!! She is a great asset to your team!!
Christina
We had a wonderful time with you Wendy at the photo session. Thank you so much for your understanding and patience with a sensitive 7 year old who wasn’t into picture taking. You did a great job!
Teresa
April was awesome and was so good about helping us reschedule during our vacation when we had some rough weather and working with kids and parents who had never done a photo shoot before! We will definitely be recommending April and will book again if we are ever in Gulf Shores!
Kimberly
We had a last minute schedule change and you were able to accommodate, very greatful for that.
Blake
The pictures are adorable.
Michelle
It was so easy and our photos were wonderful. Sarah was great, especially with the kids.
Virginia
We really enjoyed working with Brit; she was positive, upbeat, flexible and got great shots. We had a group of 12 – 6 adults and 6 kids and asked for a variety of groupings and Brit honored every request. Even more impressive was her ability to work with our autistic grandson who had a few melt-down moments. She easily flowed from one idea/grouping to another and came back to trying to get his picture when he was ready. We got great shots and would highly recommend her to any other family.
Star
Megan was great! Very professional, right on time, gave great direction, had a great eye for photo spots, and was fun to interact with throughout the session. We were extremely happy with our experience and will definitely use Shore Shooters again in the future!
Paige
Great way to have family photos done with a relaxed but professional shoot.
Alex
April was so sweet and fun to work with!
Rachel
Laura did a wonderful job! She was fun and easy to work with. She went with all of our crazy request and made beautiful keepsakes for us to treasure of this time in our lives!
Meghan
I thought our photographer was awesome. She seemed to know all the kids names which I thought was going above and beyond! Our group was difficult at times, but she handled it like a champ. Our pictures turned out great, its going to be hard to choose which ones to print. Thanks for having the option to print photos on our own, that was definitely a deal breaker for us when we booked initially with a photographer that was associated with the resort. Would definitely recommend!!!
Abby
Walt our photographer was beyond exceptional. He above and beyond to make us happy and comfortable. I would recommend him to anyone and plan on asking for him for out next family’s pictures.
Kim
Walt was wonderful to work with. He was very good with all the children. He went over and above with our family to make sure we had all the shots we wanted.
Rhonda
Loved everything about this experience. Easy to schedule, good follow up, very relaxed photo session, excellent quality pictures.
Kristy
Brittney was awesome to work with. Quick turnaround on pics. Highly recommended!
Gary
We had an excellent time and did not feel rushed. All of us were well pleased with the results and would most definitely use your service again.
Brenda
Walt was a pleasure to work with! We are very pleased with our family pictures. It’s going to be hard to pick favorites because they’re all so good!
Janet
Michelle was so laid back and amazing! We loved her and she did such a great job! So great with our kiddos!
Nicole
Brittney did an amazing job with our family photos! I had gotten her name from a “Facebook moms group” who had complimented her skills and friendly attitude. She was a joy to work with. Our photos exceeded all expectations! She even had them to us within 24 hours! I will definitely recommend Brittney and Shore Shooters to my friends and family!!
Kasey
We had so much fun with Walt!! He was super great and did everything he could to get the best pictures! We really appreciate a photographer that goes above and beyond! I was very apprehensive about having professional pictures taken outside our hometown because you just never know what you’re going to get….but this, this was way beyond my expectation and did NOT disappoint! We’re so thankful to have some great pictures to take home with us! Will certainly be requesting Walt with Shore Shooters on our next vacation!
Brooke
Jaylee was our photographer. She was fantastic in every way. We appreciated her friendly attitude and knowledge. She made us feel at ease during the shoot and even recommended several restaurants. The photos are exactly what we had hoped for!
Kim
Thank you so much, 2nd experience with you guys and was again amazing. We will be back:)
Robin
What a wonderful and fun evening! The pictures look great! Thanks!
Michelle
Laura was very easy to work with. We have 3 younger children and she made everything go smoothly.
James
Michelle is wonderful! This is our second time, but not our last to have her be our photographer. Our son has autism and it is difficult to pose as a group. She was fantastic at doing action shots and capturing our family. Looking forward to seeing her again for our next shoot.
Lynn
This is the first time we have had our pictures professionally taken on the beach & it was such an easy & pleasant experience!! Jaylee was our photographer & she was the best!! She was not only patient, but very personable! I highly recommend this company & I will definitely book them again!
Diana
Loved, loved, loved Laura!! She was great with our kiddos…..ages 4 months to 8 years old. She also was so patient and willing to work with in our time frames. It was raining all day and she encouraged us not to give up……there could be a break in the weather. And there was. And she took the most awesome posed and candid shots~~she made the whole photo shoot fun. Hope to use her next year on our yearly beach vacation.
Sue
Michelle did an excellent job! She was very friendly and patient with our kids!
Ashton
I just wanted to take a minute and explain how AWESOME Jaylee was. This was my boyfriend and I’s first experience ever taking professional photos and she was super chill, very respectful and just as excited to take the photos as we were! We thought going into this it would be super awkward but it turned out to be just the opposite. She really made a huge impact on our whole experience and no doubt I would specially request her to take our photos in the future. Thank you Jaylee for capturing such great candid shots of my boyfriend and I & capturing our love for one another! I will cherish these photos for many years to come.
Linsey
Laura was wonderful to work with. She was very professional knew just the right thing to say to capture each member of my family’s personality in the photos. Laura was also fun and very friendly! Thanks for a great experience!
Leslie
We had an incredible expierience with Shore Shooters. Our photographer Chyrel was so wonderful to work with, we enjoyed our time with her so much. We absolutely loved how our pictures turned out, they looked like they belonged in a magazine. We can’t wait to hang them up. We will definitely book with her and Shore Shooters again.
Lori
Walt was great to work with! With 5 children ages 5 to 21 months, I didn’t have high hopes that all would cooperate! In the end, I got much more than I dreamed of getting!!!
Debbie
Laura was GREAT and our pictures turned out amazing!!! We are very happy and if we are ever in your area again, we will definitely call to set up another photo shoot!!!
Leah
Wow! What a fast turnaround and these pictures are adorable!! Meghan did an absolutely fabulous job. We are so happy with how the session turned out 🙂
Jenn
Wendy was fantastic and really great to work with us! She was fun and made the experience very rewarding – thank you Wendy!
Kim
We had 2 tired boys. Chrisanne still was able to get excellent pictures.
Vicki
The whole experience my fiancé and I had with Shore Shooters was absolutely amazing! Being from out of town Shore Shooters made getting our engagement photos extremely easy. I almost cried when I saw how our photos turned out because they were so stunning, I could not have asked for any better pictures!
Lexi
Laura was amazing!! She did such a great job getting the photos done with the storm approaching. We will definitely book again and specifically request her.
Monica
We had such a wonderful experience with Walt. He instantly made us feel welcome and at home. He captured our true personalities in our pictures. We are so incredibly happy with our beautiful experience. We will definitely use Walt on our next vacation.
Amy
The photographer communicated with us and arrived as planned. Very pleasant to work with and got fantastic pictures of everyone including 3 kids under 20 months!
Susan
We absolutely loved shooting our family photos this summer with Wendy. She was so flexible with all our little ones and really captured such beautiful pictures – far exceeded our expectations. I will definitely use her again next time we’re in Hilton Head!
Laura
We are so pleased with our family pictures. Austin was terrific and speedy as we were concerned about rain. He captured all ten of us with memorable pictures. Thank you from your Colorado friends
Julie
Great experience! Your information was easy to find online. When I emailed for information, you responded immediately. April was helpful beforehand and prompt, pleasant, and professional during the shoot. The turnaround time on the access to the photo gallery was very quick, and the pictures were fantastic. Thank you for a great experience!
Kristin
We had 23 people in our group. The photographer got amazing pics of every person and was SO patient. Michelle was awesome and I would HIGHLY recommend her!
Cherie
Our photographer, Brianna on May 15 on the beach, was excellent, friendly, fast and flexible with our group of 3 couples and a grandma (me), and 6 young babies/children – all which were 4 months to 3 years. The whole group photos are great and we all will use them all. She did a wonderful job. Highly recommend her services, but don’t know when we will all be back in the area. Hopefully next year sometime…
Elisabeth
Chrisanne was amazing! She was such a pleasure to work with and we think our photos came out better because with her we could relax, be ourselves, and have fun. She made it so easy to be comfortable in front of the camera and our genuine-selves really shows in the pictures. Thank you Chrisanne!! Also, I got to speak with Michelle at Shore Shooters a few times because I had questions and made changes to my photo session and she was always so happy to help and considerate, I could tell she understood how important family pictures are and that she has a heart for providing excellent service to her clients. Thank you Shore Shooters!
Deborah
Walt was absolutely wonderful! We arrived a bit late and he was very gracious. He had a plan and kept things moving, so we got all the shots we wanted. Everything was easy!
Amanda
I wanted to pass along a note about how happy we are with our shoot with Walt on Tuesday night. Even before the photos were available online, our whole family was raving about what a great time we had with Walt and how wonderful he was. Fast forward not even 2 days and the amazing photos he took were available and we’ve all been glued to our phones and computers going through the gallery. We can’t stop singing his praises. If anyone is ever looking for a customer review, etc we are happy to share our experience. Thank you for such a wonderful highlight to our vacation that will last for years!
Erin
Fantastic company to work with for our family photos on the beach. Wendy, our photographer, was a saint in dealing with our very energetic children. She captured great photos of all of us during our photo session.
Natalie
We LOVED our experience with Shore Shooters, and especially with our photographer, Michelle. She was awesome and we are so pleased with the entire selection. We had 27 people, including six little boys ranging from 1 to 6 years old. And Michelle did the impossible-capturing the best looks for everyone. We are so thrilled with the results and will definitely be recommending Shore Shooters to all our friends and neighbors. Thank you for capturing some great memories.
Diane
We are so happy with our images!!! The turn around time was out of this world and it was even more fun to get to see them while we are still at the beach! We are so happy that we decided to go this route!! Rachel was amazing and so great with the kids! We connected on our personal life’s interest as well. Such a blessing. Y’all Rock!!
Candace
I cannot brag on Michelle enough, she was absolutely amazing! When she saw the storms rolling in for our original date she text me and we kept in contact regarding the weather. We ended up having to re-schedule a few days later but it all worked out perfectly. Michelle took all the stress away for our pictures and our family all had so much fun. (She even got our 5 year old boy to smile multiple times!) We got a link to our pictures in less then 24 hours, and they are all absolutely amazing! You cannot put a price on the memories that Michelle captured. She truly captured the personality of our family! We are forever greatful and will look Michelle up next year we are here!
Ashley
Our Photographer was organized in her approach and helped us to feel at ease so that we had a lot of fun making our shoot. The images are beautiful. Such a great gift to our family.
Carolyn
From booking a session and whole process everyone was very nice and professional. Michelle took our family pictures and they are perfect 😍. Michelle was so nice and made the whole session fun and the pics turned out beautiful!! I highly recommend them!! Thank you Michelle and Shore Shooters Photography 🥰
Lesa
We absolutely loved working with Madalane!! She was so great with the kids and made everything super easy. So happy with how our pictures turned out
Andrea
5 out of 5 stars – 2 thumbs up – 10/10 would recommend….however you best interpret ratings, I am here to give Shore Shooters all the hype!!
Upon Googling/shopping around for professional beach photography for a family vacation, Shore Shooters stood out not only in comparison to others in the area (pricing, packages, photoshoot details, etc.) but also by their fantastic work!! – Their galleries/blogs speak for themselves!
The whole process from booking to receiving the full online gallery was SO simple and straight forward!…which is especially appreciated and relieving when completing at a distance, 6 months in advance!
The Process (lots of details, I know…but maybe it will save you some research!):
~ Booking is done completely online – I never had to make a phone call or wait for an email response. They provide an opportunity for you to share details regarding dynamics of your group, address of your location (so they can meet you there – how amazing!!), and a list of all the available dates/times to choose from. Once you submit that information, you are emailed a confirmation with your specific photographer’s name so you know who you will be working with when the day arrives.
~ Leading up to the day of our photo session, I received an email 2 days in advance as a reminder of the session date/time and a message stating that our photographer would reach out to me directly 24 hours from our session time. Madalane reached out to me via text (which was super helpful vs. a phone call, as we were busy enjoying the beach and gave me a little grace in response time!), and was very professional but oh so personable in her communication!
~ The actual photo session was smooth-sailing and a lot of fun!! Madalane was a rockstar in ensuring there was no funny-business happening in the background of shots and was not scared to get dirty in the sand to capture the best angles!! She was on top of fly-away hairs and sand-buried feet to ensure everyone was looking their best!! She was truly amazing and so sweet!!…and not to mention, super efficient and made a lot happen with our group of 10 in approx. 45 minutes!
~ Fast-forward a whole 50.1 hours, and I had the complete online gallery in my e-mail inbox ready to go!! **Note: Our session was on a Thursday evening at 7pm in the middle of June…no way did we expect our picture gallery until the middle of the following week!! (especially during what I am sure is prime time for Shore Shooters!) This turnaround is so impressive and SO appreciated!! The gallery is super easy to access and share with others via the link they directly provide in the email message.
The Product:
~ WOW. Every single photo in the gallery is AmAzInG! These will be pictures we truly cherish forever!! A gallery of 135 photos to choose from is nearly impossible when they are all so well done!
~ The gallery is super easy to figure out/navigate when attempting to download to a mobile phone, computer, Google Photos, etc.
OVERALL:
I will definitely ALWAYS recommend Shore Shooters Beach Photography to anyone/everyone looking for professional photography in any of the locations they serve!! Committing to booking and making such an investment can be stressful with all the things to consider, but I promise you cannot go wrong with this group!! Again….5 out of 5 stars – 2 thumbs up – 10/10 would recommend 🙂
Gabby
