We use flytographer all over the world when we travel, but it was fun to do a shoot here in Victoria during COVID. I would highly suggest if you're looking for good photos of your family.

Amazing photos! We had a family shoot including a 2&3yr old Andrea made it so easy as we’re not the most relaxed in front of the camera but we all felt at ease and had a great time. She was great with the kids and had all the tricks to get the kids attention and smiling. The end result is lots of wonderful photos to remember our trip by. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Andrea!!

I can't say enough great things about this adventure! Andrea was amazing in showing us different areas of the park we never would have found on our own. She did a wonderful job of taking fun, candid photos and was very professional (she even carried our stuff for us!). The photos are really great and we were able to pick our favorites to keep, even the quirky ones! Andrea was also super flexible and helped us decide what places we wanted to see or spend more time in. It may seem expensive, but for the professional photos and personal tour of the park, it was well worth it. This was a really great way to get the best of both worlds! It's a lot of walking, so make sure to wear comfy shoes. Thank you, Andrea!

Elias was our assigned photographer he understood our needs perfectly and worked with us very well. He took the most amazing pictures of my daughter. Even though I did not want my own picture taken he also convinced me of that. Many locations are closed in Morocco currently because of covid but we found many beautiful alternate locations instead. There is so much beauty in Marrakech you will definitely want to document it with this group. Pictures were delivered to us two days later while we were still on vacation. I asked for a few edits and the group was very cooperative in providing them.
9. Shoot My Travel- Experience Chicago With a Local Photographer
Chicago is the perfect city to get a dose of all that is great about America: beautiful parks, innovative architecture, and historic figures. All with a side of deep dish pizza, blues, and baseball! Millennium Park welcomes with visionary architecture and public sculptures, like “the Bean,” while Willis Tower, once the tallest building in the world, still offers exceptional views of the city. At Navy Pier there’s a carnival atmosphere and boats to get you out on Lake Michigan for a view of Chicago’s skyline at its best. Shop on the wide boulevard of the Magnificent Mile, find everything from wild animals to gangsters at the zoo and museum of Lincoln Park, and wander past the birthplace of Ernest Hemingway and the house of Frank Lloyd Wright in Oak Park. However you decide to spend your time in Chicago, book one of our local Chicago photographers and experience not just the American Midwest, but America the beautiful.
Inclusions: photography ( 30 pictures)
Exclusions: Admissions and fees, No food and drinks included

I would have loved to review how our photoshoot went, but unfortunately we just were told it wont be happening! We booked ours through the website with Alexa months ago. After booking her available date, she asked if we could move it from a Friday to a Thursday as she would be leaving town that weekend. Although this is would move our photoshoot to the day we are arriving - just an hour after our hotel checkin - we wanted to remain flexible and agreed to the change. Alexa was in contact with us throughout the months to follow, including within the last 48 hours to confirm our meeting time, yet we woke up today to an email cancelling our photoshoot from a random customer service representative. The cancellation was due to the photographer "leaving town earlier than expected". Barring personal emergencies or COVID scares, this is completely unacceptable. With just a week before our scheduled shoot, we are now tasked to find a photographer who is available. There have been so many expenses that have gone towards this photoshoot, i.e. hair, makeup, spray tan, manicures, pedicures, clothing, etc. We're obviously so disappointed at what once was supposed to be the highlight of our trip, and are completely disheartened to have not even been told by the photographer herself. Although the customer service agent offered to help us book one of our "2-3 other choices" (suggesting we may end up paying hundreds of dollars for our 4th choice in photographer? No thanks.), we no longer trust this company and are requesting a full refund ASAP. Maybe we'd feel different had the photographer reached out themselves with an apology and possible solutions. I would not advice anyone to book with Shoot My Travel or Alexa.
