The Work
Shooting Star Photography creates fine-art portrait experiences
rooted in emotion, storytelling, and timeless design.
Based in South Jersey and serving Philadelphia and surrounding areas, the work blends thoughtful composition with natural connection — resulting in portraits that feel elevated yet deeply personal.
Each session is approached as a creative collaboration, designed with intention and guided by artistry rather than trends.
This is photography created to live on your walls, not disappear into a camera roll.
The Artist
Dee is the artist behind
Shooting Star Photography.
A mother and fine-art photographer with over a decade of experience, her work is shaped by a deep understanding of how quickly childhood and family seasons pass. What began as documenting her own children evolved into a career centered on connection —
The quiet moments, the in-between glances, the feeling of a moment before they are gone.
Her approach is calm and intuitive, allowing families to feel at ease while creating portraits that feel intentional, emotive, and timeless.
The Experience
Every session is designed to feel unrushed, guided, and thoughtfully styled.
From wardrobe guidance to access to a curated luxury client closet, each detail is considered well before your session begins.
Locations are chosen with intention — from flower fields and coastal landscapes to quiet, editorial outdoor settings —
allowing the environment to support the story being told.
Clients are gently directed without being over-posed, creating space for natural movement, connection, and moments that feel real.
The Style
The work is rooted in a fine-art approach — refined, emotive, and intentionally timeless.
Each image is hand-edited with care, balancing clean tones with depth and storytelling. The focus remains on connection, composition, and light rather than trends, allowing the
work to feel enduring and personal.
The goal is imagery that feels just as meaningful years from
now as it does in this moment.
Recognition
Shooting Star Photography has been recognized for fine-art portraiture and storytelling, with work featured and awarded within the photography community.
Each recognition reflects a continued commitment to artistry, craftsmanship, and creating meaningful
portrait experiences for families.
The Philosophy
Photography is about more than documenting how something looked — it’s about remembering how it felt.
The goal is not perfection, but presence. Not stiff posing, but genuine connection. Each session is an opportunity to slow down and preserve a chapter of life that will never come again in quite the same way.
This work is created for families who value artistry, experience, and meaning.
