Martin was awesome! With four adults and three kids ages 4, 5, and 6, he was sooo patient, did not rush us at all! The pictures were amazing! With that many people with kids, all of the pictures were great! We all had a blast and cannot wait to come back to Galveston “to get shot” by Martin again! 😊 Love from East Texas! Thank you again Martin!

I wanted to dress up as a woman in the wild West and was handed a headband that I didn't want to wear, so I chose one I really liked and was told it was "for the 20s and not the right era" and that I could wear the headband with the plastic rose on it or a cowboy hat...why?! It's MY photos. So I only bought one…

EDIT 2025: Clara was absolutely the BEST!!! She did awesome with our wardrobe, setting, photos and the sale. We come to Buster's every few years to update our Family photos and were so lucky to get her. Reasonably priced, several themes, terrific wardrobe selection. The staff was AMAZING.
