Biff did pictures for us on a vacation to the Outer Banks and we LOVE them! He has an amazing personality which really helps you relax and laugh such that you have genuine laughter on your face. He's a super awesome guy, knows great areas to take pictures at, and we gained a new friend from our experience with him. We are going to use him again in September when we return to the Outer Banks. Five stars isn't enough, thanks again Biff! read more

We just had a photo session this evening for our family with Biff. This was our first time doing something like this and he and the Shooters staff could not have been better. From Laura at the office who contacted us about scheduling to working with Biff through some false starts due to bad weather, everyone was fantastic. Biff was able to draw out our five year old daughter to strike poses all on her own. Can't wait to see the final results. We would definitely do business with Shooters again. read more

We were referred to Shooters on the Beach by a homeowner we rented our vacation home from. We showed up for our shoot & asked that we get a family shot and a pic of each of the kids. After the first family shot, I asked if we could be positioned in another location as the wind was blowing my hair backwards and sideways and the sun was in all of our eyes. I was told this was the best lighting & best place for a family pic. We switched locations to further down the beach to get some pics of the kids. While being closer to the water, I saw other families being photographed in other locations where the sun wasn't blaring in their eyes. I again asked our photographer Biff if we should maybe snap a few extra family shots and he said he didn't think that was necessary bc he had gotten plenty. We paid our sitting fee and when going over packages was completely blind sided by the fact that we had to order photos through them or pay $600 for a disc to have rights to our photos, as we had received an email that was contraindicating of this. I was APALLED when I saw our proofs - I can't believe that a 'professional' photographer would even have the nerve to send these photos out. Of course my hair and my daughters hair was all over in our family shots, her eyes were squinty from the sun, etc. I expressed my concerns and was told that they could retouch the photo FOR AN ADDITIONAL FEE!!!! Trying to save my sanity and our photo session I asked them to retouch our family pic. They 'fixed' my daughters eyes and made her look like her face was completely asymmetrical - it was totally obvious that the photo was POORLY EDITED. I'm pretty sure my 5 year old could have done a better job cutting & pasting than these people did with computer editing software. Let's not even talk about the 4 weeks it took them to edit the photo. If you want to pay a ridiculous amount of money for horrible pics of your family, this is the company to hire - they'll definitely succeed with that! I am now out my sitting fee, did not get my annual beach pics that I have gotten the past 5 years, and I have to hire another photographer back home to retake our photos! Of course nobody there cares either! Thanks Shooters, you ruined my tradition of annual family photos on the beach!! Tammi Ellis from Missouri read more

We had a shoot with this company in September while we were on vacation. My husband set this up as a surprise for me for my birthday and our anniversary. When my husband set up this session he was told we would receive the cd of all the pictures. My husband was happy with this because the session price was $200 which is a lot more then we have ever spent on a professional picture session but the cd was included which made us feel ok with spending that amount. The shoot itself was barely an hour which was ok because our 2 year old was over it. We sign the paperwork and pay the photographer and ask him when we can get our cd ,and he then informs us that cds are not included. My husband just assumed maybe he misunderstood and we would then just order one when the images were posted how much would it be right? We receive the email with a images and in almost every single picture we are either blinking, squinting, or just look terrible. They did tell us that we could have them all face swapped and fixed to look great but I feel like some of that could have been avoided. I then went to look at how much a cd cost and had a heart attack. Another $200 for the low res cd and $500+ for the high res cd! So now we are up over $400 for one photo session. I was very upset because we felt like we were mislead. The print prices are no better on top of the fact that they will have to edit each picture that we purchase. I then emailed the company about the issues I was having with this. I asked to get a cd with just 3 images on it (because those were the only ones I even liked) so that i could at least get something out this. I was then informed that all prices are posted on the website, sorry for the misunderstanding, and the only ala cart item to be offered was a $50 8 x 10. At this point I'm so over this that I think we're going to order the other prints that will need no help from them to look nice ( these will be of our backs and a couple of our daughter) just so I don't have to deal with them anymore. VERY UNHAPPY! I would recommend going else were for anyone looking to get family pictures done and we will be doing much better research next time. read more
