Christmas time is here! Love the bold colors.

Christmas was awesome this year. We almost had ourselves a "White Christmas!"

Dee, the talented photographer behind Shooting Star Photography, loves capturing the special moments that families share, and this Christmas photo session was no exception.

On a chilly December day in Philadelphia, Dee met up with a group of preteen cousins who were all dressed up in their finest attire. Two boys and one young lady looked absolutely stunning as they walked through the bustling streets of the city, with the iconic architecture providing a striking backdrop for their photos.

As they walked through the city, Dee captured candid shots of the cousins laughing and joking around, as well as more posed shots of them standing together in front of the city's iconic landmarks. But Dee wasn't content with simply sticking to the sidewalks - she had a bold vision for this photo shoot.

As the traffic came to a halt at a nearby intersection, Dee saw an opportunity to create some truly epic shots. With the cousins looking on excitedly, Dee took a deep breath and led them into the middle of the street, where she positioned them in front of the iconic Philadelphia skyline. The boys even wore their suits, adding a touch of elegance to the already stunning backdrop.

The result was a series of truly breathtaking photos that captured the beauty and energy of Philadelphia during the holiday season. The cousins were thrilled with the results, and their families were overjoyed to have such beautiful and timeless memories of their loved ones.

Dee's creativity, expertise, and adventurous spirit made this photo session truly special. Her ability to work with families of all kinds, from siblings to cousins, ensures that every shoot is unique and tailored to the individuals she is working with. And, with her keen eye for detail and stunning photography skills, Dee is able to capture the magic of these special moments and turn them into cherished memories that will be treasured for years to come.

Happy Shooting, my friends!
