Give Me Your Babies! (Figuratively, of Course)
Yep, I said it: babies, ALL the babies! Their squish, their cheeks, their laughter, even their little baby tushies—I love it all. Babies are pure magic, from their infectious giggles to that fresh “I’m new here” smell (minus the messy diaper moments). They’re tiny bundles of personality just starting to figure out the big, wide world, and I adore capturing every second of it.
I will take this smile with this little runner of a child.
Capturing First-Year Magic: Why It’s So Important
Photographing babies during their first year is like hitting pause on the fastest-moving chapter of life. Their first year is filled with so many unforgettable moments: the first gummy smile, their first steps, and even the hilarious moment they try solid food for the first time.
These photographs are more than just pictures; they’re time capsules that let you relive this magical season over and over. Babies grow so quickly (seriously, blink, and they’re toddlers!), but professional portraits ensure these fleeting moments are preserved forever.
So yes, I’ll take care of everything! Outfits, locations, themes—whether you want something classic or magical, I’ve got you covered.
I love the connection they have for one another. They are so happy.
A Memorable Session with a Magical Spot
About two weeks ago, I had the honor of photographing a little blue-eyed cutie who stole my heart (and the camera). I’d been waiting to use this adorable fall outfit I purchased, and it was a perfect match for this session. Mom was thrilled with the selection, and we picked a location that’s near and dear to my heart: an old railroad line turned bike path in Blackwood, Camden County.
The centerpiece of this spot is a gorgeous bridge that I lovingly call the “magical bridge.” No matter the season, the light there is perfection. Fun fact: I photographed at this same location three years ago when I was just starting out. It felt extra special to return with this family’s newest addition.
And guess what? We got lucky with a warm, sunny 68-degree February day (thanks, Mother Nature)! The combination of perfect light, an adorable baby, and a beautiful location made for some stunning portraits.
Often times, I must bribe my children with a lolipop!
Why We Love Photographing Babies
Babies are pure joy to photograph. Sure, they might cry or wiggle away at times, but those moments are part of their charm. They’re learning emotions, exploring their surroundings, and showing off their budding personalities.
At Shooting Star Photography, we’re all about creating a stress-free experience for families. We take care of all the little details, from the cutest outfits to magical setups. Whether it’s a baby girl in a flowing dress or a baby boy rocking a whimsical theme, we make sure every session feels unique and special.
South Jersey, We Love Your Babies!
Let’s face it: babies grow up way too fast. One moment, they’re tiny bundles of joy, and the next, they’re running around shouting “no!” at the top of their lungs. That’s why these sessions mean so much to us.
If you’re ready to capture your little one’s big personality in a way that’s heartfelt, magical, and stress-free, give us a call. Let’s create memories you’ll treasure forever.
