The Enchanted Magical Forest in NJ

At Shooting Star Photography, we don't just take photos; we create memories that make you feel like you've stepped into a fairytale. Imagine a 10-year-old girl in a magical rainbow gown, picking wildflowers and hanging out with a real unicorn. Sounds like a dream, right? Well, for us, it’s just another Tuesday! Let’s walk you through this enchanted New Jersey forest portrait session.

The Magic of Forest Portraits

What makes a forest the perfect place for kids' portraits? Well, for starters, it’s where the light filters through the trees and makes everything look like it’s been sprinkled with fairy dust. We ventured into the woods, and let’s just say the light was so good, even the trees were like, “Hey, I’ve been working out!” This soft, natural lighting gave the session a dreamy, almost otherworldly vibe. Talk about #NatureGoals.

If you’ve been eyeing an outdoor session for your child, forest portraits offer the ideal blend of fun and fairytale charm. The New Jersey woods provide the perfect backdrop, adding an organic, timeless touch to each photo. It’s like magic, only without the wand-waving. The forest does the hard work for us!

The Rainbow Gown & Tiara: Fairy Magic, but Make it Fashion

One of the best parts of this session was the rainbow gown from our client wardrobe—talk about a dress that makes you want to twirl! This enchanted fairy gown (seriously, it’s a serious contender for “best dress ever”) was paired with a sparkly tiara, and we instantly knew we had a fairy princess in the making. And yes, it was as magical as it sounds. The gown and tiara combined made her look like she belonged in a fantasy novel. No big deal, just a fairy queen for a day.

If your child is anything like most kids (aka, a future fashion icon), they’ll love our client wardrobe options. Whether it’s a whimsical fairy gown, a soft princess dress, or something a little more unique, we’ve got the magical wardrobe that’ll make any kid feel like they’re starring in their own fairytale. No fashionistas were harmed in the making of these portraits.

Wildflowers, Unicorns, and a Whole Lotta Magic

What’s better than a magical forest portrait session? Adding a unicorn into the mix! Not just any unicorn, but Drifter—the same unicorn from the movie Sparkle-A Unicorn Tale. And yes, Drifter is just as majestic as you’d imagine. Kids love interacting with him, and it’s the kind of experience that’ll have your little one telling their friends about it for years. "Yeah, I hung out with a real unicorn in the woods, no biggie."

Plus, there were wildflowers! Who doesn't love a good wildflower-picking session? It’s like nature’s way of saying, “You’re welcome for the photo ops!” Watching the kids frolic through the flowers, giggling and just being kids, is what we live for. So, while we’re over here snapping pictures, they’re creating memories that will last a lifetime (and maybe leave a little flower dust in their hair).

A Custom Experience: Because Your Child Deserves It

At Shooting Star Photography, we get it. Every child is unique, and every family has its own vision for the perfect portrait session. That’s why we don’t just show up and snap pictures; we work with you to make sure everything—from the location to the wardrobe—feels just right. If you’re looking for a dreamy fairy shoot, a magical woodland adventure, or even a beachside unicorn photo op (we do those too), we’ve got your back.

Our goal is simple: we want your kid to have as much fun as possible while we work our magic with the camera. Trust us, there’s no stiff posing here. Just lots of laughs, twirls, and “OMG, did you see that shot?!” moments.
