Fine Art Photography Sessions with Shooting Star Photography

Behind the Magic (and the Wagon)

There’s nothing quite like a fine art portrait session. It’s more than a pretty picture — it’s storytelling, mood, movement, and a whole lot of intention. And sometimes… it’s also a red wagon packed to the brim with couture gowns, floral crowns, and tulle, being pulled through a field in 90% humidity by a very determined photographer.

Yes, that photographer is me.
No, the wagon does not have power steering.

Fine art photography is where imagination meets real life. These sessions are designed to feel magical, elevated, and deeply personal — turning childhood, sibling bonds, and milestone moments into artwork meant to live on your walls, not just your phone.

What Makes a Fine Art Session Different

Fine art sessions are thoughtfully styled and carefully guided, but never rushed. Every detail — from wardrobe to location to light — is chosen with intention so the final images feel timeless rather than trendy.

Whether it’s a golden-hour field, a quiet forest, or an open stretch of sky, the goal is always the same: to create portraits that feel emotional, expressive, and lasting.

What’s Included in a Fine Art Portrait Session

Each fine art session is designed as an experience, not just a photoshoot.

Wardrobe Styling
Clients have access to my curated wardrobe collection, filled with couture gowns, whimsical dresses, and handmade accessories for children (up to size 12/14). Soft fabrics, flowing movement, and carefully chosen colors help bring each session to life.

Fully Guided Experience
I guide the session from start to finish — from gentle prompts to natural movement — so children feel comfortable and parents can relax and enjoy the moment.

Hand-Edited Fine Art Images
Every image is individually edited with care. No batch filters, no shortcuts — just a thoughtful fine art process that brings out emotion, light, and depth.

Outdoor Locations Across South Jersey
Sessions take place in beautiful natural settings, including fields, forests, orchards, and beaches throughout South Jersey and surrounding areas.

Why Families Choose Fine Art Portraits

Because childhood moves fast.
Because the magic is often in the in-between moments.
And because one day, you’ll want to remember not just what it looked like — but how it felt.

Fine art portraits become heirlooms. They’re the images pulled out years later, the ones that spark stories, laughter, and quiet reflection. They hold meaning long after the season has passed.

A Thoughtful, Story-Driven Approach

At the heart of every fine art session is one goal: to create something meaningful. Whether the result is joy, nostalgia, or that deep exhale that comes from finally slowing down — these sessions are designed to feel intentional and memorable.

And yes, sometimes that means pulling a wagon full of dresses through a field. Worth it. Always.

If you’re drawn to expressive, story-driven portraits that feel elevated and timeless, fine art sessions offer an experience that goes far beyond the ordinary.
