From the sun-kissed beaches of the Jersey Shore to the vibrant streets of Philly, we’ve been privileged to turn fleeting seconds into memories that last a lifetime.

Our Story

Our journey began with a simple mission:

  • To infuse creativity and joy into every photoshoot.

  • To celebrate life’s milestones, whether it’s a blossoming maternity session, a whimsical First Holy Communion, or the candid laughter of children at play.

Every session is a new story waiting to be told, each uniquely crafted to reflect the personality and spirit of our clients.

Through the years, we’ve celebrated life’s milestones in unforgettable ways:

  • Quirky and Fun Sessions: Our style captures the magic in the mundane, from spontaneous giggles to heartfelt embraces.

We specialize in finding the beauty in authentic moments—the playful glance, the unplanned laugh, or the quiet joy of connection.

Our Portraits Are Art.

Celebrate Your Authentic Beauty

Each wrinkle, every jiggling underarm moment, and the distinct features that make us who we are… these are the strokes of a masterpiece.

Just like a photograph capturing the essence of a subject, accepting ourselves in all our imperfect glory allows us to radiate a genuine light. True beauty lies in embracing our uniqueness—the jello jiggles, big ears, crooked teeth, and brittle hair. When we honor these traits, we discover a self-love that transcends societal expectations and celebrates the harmony of our individuality.

Timeless Photography Rooted in Expertise

At Shooting Star Photography, I specialize in immortalizing enchanting moments—genuine, heartfelt instances of love, connection, and joy.

A Decade of Excellence: Over 10 years of dedicated experience since the launch of Shooting Star Photography.

World-Class Training: Honed under the tutelage of globally renowned fine art photographers, ensuring each image tells a soulful story.
