5 Magical Photography Experiences at Shooting Star Photography ✨
At Shooting Star Photography, sessions are more than a quick photo appointment. Each experience is thoughtfully designed for families who value connection, beauty, and meaningful moments — not rushed poses or generic images.
From timeless family portraits to once-in-a-lifetime childhood milestones, every session is created to feel elevated, stress-free, and full of heart. Below are five of our most loved photography experiences, curated for families throughout South Jersey, Philadelphia, and the surrounding areas.
1. Fine Art Family Photography
Elegant. Emotional. Timeless.
Fine art family sessions are centered on connection rather than perfection. With gentle guidance, natural movement, and carefully chosen outdoor locations, these sessions allow families to simply be together.
Whether photographed in a wildflower field, along the Jersey Shore, or in a quiet forest setting, the result is artwork that feels honest, relaxed, and enduring — never stiff or overly posed.
Perfect for families who want wall-worthy portraits that still feel real.

Because childhood magic deserves to be celebrated.
Princess sessions invite children to step fully into their imagination. With couture gowns, thoughtful styling, and a fine-art approach, these portraits feel dreamy without being overdone.
Often booked for birthdays or milestones, these sessions are about confidence, joy, and honoring this fleeting season of childhood.
