Absolutely magical maternity session.

“From start to finish, my maternity session was everything I hoped for and more. The gowns are gorgeous, and the setting was dreamy. Shooting Star Photography truly captured the essence of this special time in my life even though I felt really awkward moving around. Dee made me feel confident and radiant throughout the entire shoot, and the final photos are stunning. I’m so grateful for the beautiful memories they’ve helped me create."

The most magical experience ever!


"My daughter’s unicorn photo session was beyond anything we could have imagined! From the sparkling accessories to the enchanting setting, every detail was perfect. She felt like a real princess, and she couldn’t stop talking about her unicorn friend all night on the ride home. The photos are absolutely magical and truly capture her joy and wonder. Shooting Star Photography made a dream come true for our little girl—and for us as parents!"
