Let’s Tell Your Story.
At Shooting Star Photography LLC, we believe every snap tells a story waiting to be unveiled. Our art captures more than just smiles; it locks in laughter, dreams, and those little quirky moments that make life uniquely yours. Whether it’s a Cape May beach sunset reflecting on a maternity glow, a child’s playful expression, or the beauty of a family bond, we strive to weave a tapestry of memories with each photo. Every click is a way for us to narrate your journey, allowing you to relive those beautiful chapters time and again. Let's create your story in pixels, one frame at a time.
“This is not just a quick photo session. This is an experience-designed to make your child feel like they stepped into a storybook, and for you to have photos that make you pause, smile, and feel. EVERY detail-from hand-edited artistry to carefully styled outfits-is tailored to create artwork you’ll treasure forever.”

My daughter has never felt so special. Dee truly made her feel like she was in a fairytale. And when I got the photos? I cried. These are not just pictures-this is artwork we'll treasure forever.
