My family had a great experience with the Christmas photo bus. We arrived about 10 mins early. We were greeted upon arrival and began our session. They were super quick and professional. A bunch of photos were taken and she even asked if we wanted any others. I highly recommend them for seasonal family photos.

Wow! Matt is amazing! He went above and beyond for our family photos. He made us laugh so much. Usually our family photos look forced, staged and too posed. He caught us in our natural state laughing and having fun. They are the best photos we have ever had. He had such great ideas and different setups he wanted to try. The kids even loved it! The s'mores and fire pit was a great touch and nice way to stay warm in the snow. I cant thank Matt and Photobus Alaska enough!
