It’s Only June...But It’s Time to Book Your Fall Family Portraits! 🍂📸

Don’t wait until the last minute to book your fall family portraits! With only a few spots left, now’s the time to plan your perfect fall session with Shooting Star Photography. Serving South Jersey, Philadelphia, and beyond!

Hey there, friends! I know, I know... it’s still summer, and we’re all busy soaking up the sunshine. But, here's a little secret: fall is coming. And trust me, you’ll want to get your spot booked for family portraits sooner rather than later. No one likes the stress of last-minute scrambling for a photographer in October, right? 😅

So, why should you book now?
We’re down to just 8 spots left for the rest of the year, and if you’re hoping to snag one of them, this is the time to act. I know it sounds crazy, but those gorgeous fall colors (and all the magical moments we’ll create) come and go so fast that we want to make sure we get you on our calendar before it's too late!

Here’s the scoop:

  • Mermaid Sessions? Yep, SOLD OUT.

  • Beach Mini Sessions? You bet, also SOLD OUT.

  • Unicorn Fall Mini Sessions? Coming soon... keep your eyes peeled!

  • Fall & Holiday Sessions? Almost gone, folks.

The best part? We’re not just sticking to one location. While we’ll still be hitting up our all-time favorite spots like Winslow, NJ (yes, you read that right), we'll also be traveling all over the Delaware Valley, including South Jersey, Philadelphia, and Central Jersey for those magical fall moments. 🍁

Why Winslow, NJ?


Winslow offers so much variety: tall trees, open fields, lakes... even a little rustic charm for those of you who love a cozy vibe. Plus, the golden fall leaves and warm, amber glow of autumn will make your family portraits pop!
