Sun Shots did a great job capturing smiles for a large group on Labor Day. They were organized and worked quickly which created a non-stressful experience with three young boys. Easy to work with and accommodating to special requests. More...

Maggie and Ryan are wonderful! They were quick to respond to my call to setup an appointment and also provide tips for picture day. I am thankful for Maggie and Ryan's energy and patience ~ we are a family of 13 that included two 2 year olds and a 9 month old and we have many fabulous pictures. Trying to choose which pictures to print and hang is going to be very difficult. More...

Maggie and Ryan were great. We had such a good experience with the photo shoot that we decided to do a dolphin cruise as well! I highly recommend both. We are very happy with our pictures. And even though the dolphins decided to play hide-n-seek we still got to see a few and had a nice relaxing boat tour. Ryan was very knowledgeable about the area and taught us a lot of things we didn’t know. To top it all off, we had our pictures THE VERY NEXT DAY!!! More...

When planning our trip to Gulf Shores I found Sun Shots and am very happy I did! Ryan and Maggie captured amazing pictures of my family on the beach. I am not sure how I will chose which ones to display in our home. They were great to work with and had great communication from the time I called to inquire about pictures and after the pictures were taken. You can’t go wrong with hiring Sun Shots! More...

I found Sun Shots online and after viewing their gallery and behind the scenes videos I decided they would be the best for our groups pictures. Both Ryan and Maggie are so quick to respond and worked really hard to get the best pics of my grandchildren ages 11 months, 2, & 4. Our pictures turned out great and I would use Sun Shots for any type of pictures again. More...

We had the best experience with Sun Shots! Starting with Maggie immediately responding to my email inquiries about their service, to her being in constant contact regarding our time and location and weather changes, to our session with her and Ryan where they were very professional and fun, and finally, to our beautiful pictures that I received so quickly. These are the quickest that I have ever received professional pictures and I really loved that! I highly recommend their photography service! Many, many thanks from the Cross family :) More...

Sun Shots captures what you always wanted in a photographer. There will always be pics that you never expected you’d get! I’m not sure how they do it, but when you look at the proofs the first time, you realize ...”this is why we hired a real photographer.” I’ve had their work gracing my walls for decades and they get compliments every time we have guests. Thank you so much for capturing our life in the way only you can. More...

Best Experience with beach photography. Ryan & Maggie made it so fun for my family. They were professional & were determined to get the best shots they could. The evening was windy and they made sure to incorporate that in to get the best shots possible. Ryan made my boys laugh with his jokes and Maggie was efficient with our poses. Will use them again in the future. Thanks to Maggie & Ryan for our wonder family photos. More...

In summer of 2016 my family and I traveled to Gulf Shores Alabama, from Missouri, for a beach vacation. We had the opportunity to have a photo session with Sun Shots and were so amazed at their professionalism and how great they were at making us feel at ease! We had our almost 2 year old twin grandsons with us and that made it a bit of a challenge but they were able to capture awesome pics!! Since this time we have had 2 of our loved ones pass away. Looking back we are so grateful we had that time with family and were able to capture the memories through these phenomenal photos. Thank you Sun Shots for the memories!!!! More...

We've used Sun Shots twice - once for a large extended family (14 ppl) and once with just my husband and daughter (3 ppl). Both experiences were wonderful! They are true professionals. The fact that they have a two-person team is SO helpful if you have children in your group as Maggie knows just how to get the kids to smile/laugh while Ryan takes the shots. Editing is perfect. They're very responsive. I cannot recommend them highly enough! I'm sure we'll use them again in the future! More...

An absolutely wonderful experience for our family photos. They worked us in while we were at the beach so that we could get family portraits made before our son left for deployment in Afghanistan. It was about to storm the night we had our session, and they did a great job getting amazing shots before the storm rolled in. I highly recommend SunShots and will definitely use them again when we venture back to Orange Beach. More...

Our experience with Sun shots photography was Amazing. I Found them online and from there started our great experience. I was able to speak with them directly from scheduling our family beach photos and kept in contact via email as well. Response was always quick and I never had any doubt that our pictures and session would go any other way but great!. When we had our session, the couple was so personal and we talked the entire time like we were friends. Ryan and Maggie were amazing with our kids and you can tell that their heart is truly centered around developing amazing pictures that are captured for families to cherish! I have recommended friends and family to use Sun shots if they are in the area and we will continue to use them as well!!! Thank you Maggie and Ryan! Y’all are Amazing! More...

I was so very pleased with Sun Shots when we used them several years ago. Ryan was just starting out and I think we were one of the first 50 or so, and I greatly who admired his work. I love and cherish our photos he took of my girls as they were coming into their own. Unfortunately, we’ve not been able to be back in the area for follow up photos but most definitely would use Sun Shots again. More...

We had such a great experience with Sun Shots! Our extended family included 7 adults and three little ones. Our pictures are amazing! ! Ryan and Maggie were so creative while working with the kids. Because some weather was moving in, they had called us to move up our appointment and relocated our site. So grateful they didn’t even consider rescheduling!! Everyone ordered pictures from the awesome proofs and my pictures still make me smile. Both Ryan and Maggie answered all of our questions before we even arrived for our vacation concerning time of day, best colors, outfits, props, etc.You CAN NOT go wrong by using Sun Shots to capture your beach memories!

Our family didn't know what to expect during our Sunrise photo shoot. It was 6:30 in the morning with two young children in September. My son was extremely clingy and both children were tired from traveling the night before. Ryan and Maggie were ready to go and they were so patient! My children ran all over the place with Maggie pulling the wagon in the sand and Ryan taking photographs. Our pictures were amazing. The best family pictures ever! I have had friends and other photographers comment that our Sunrise is not real. If I had not been there I may not believe the beauty myself. Ryan did an amazing job and we will use them again if we are in the Orange Beach area. Thank you so much! More...
