Capturing Your Special Day:

Celebrating your birthday with a beautiful portrait session has become a cherished tradition at Shooting Star. As we step into a new year of life, I am filled with excitement and gratitude for the experiences that have shaped me. This portrait session serves as a meaningful way to freeze these emotions and the essence of the moment in time. The anticipation of selecting the perfect outfit, the meticulous attention to every detail, and the heartfelt conversations with the photographer all add to the magic of the day.

Let the healing begin- In 2021

God gave you all a gift. He put that inside you. I truly believe everyone has this inside of them. It's very important, for myself, to be able to give my absolute best with the minimal effort. It should be seamless what you put out there in the universe. I've worked hard this past year to work on myself and to analyze what I am putting out there and what I can do better.

Magical Fairy Sessions in South Jersey.

A fairy photo shoot with children can be a magical and memorable experience for both the children and the adults involved. Here are some ideas to make the photo shoot extra special:

1. Choose a magical location: Find a beautiful outdoor location that has a fairy-tale feel, such as a forest, garden, or park. The location should have plenty of natural light and interesting backdrops for photos. We have a ton of excellent options to choose from!

2. Setting the scene: We can create a fairy garden or a fairy tea party setting with decorations like flowers, butterfly wings, fairy lights, and soft blankets. You could also add some props like fairy wands, flower crowns, and glittery fairy dust.
