Why NJ Lavender Sessions Are Pure Magic
Lavender Dreams in Bloom: Why NJ Lavender Sessions Are Pure Magic
Picture this: a golden-haired little girl twirling in a sea of soft purple, her pink dress catching the light, her laughter floating on the breeze like the scent of lavender. That’s exactly what unfolded at one of our recent NJ lavender sessions — and yes, it was just as dreamy as it sounds.
At Shooting Star Photography, we don’t just take photos. We create little worlds for your children to explore, feel magical in, and be their true, wild selves. Lavender fields are the perfect setting for this kind of enchantment. Here's why our New Jersey lavender field sessions are a must-book experience — and why parents come back year after year for these limited-edition portraits.

🌸 Top 3 Reasons to Book a Lavender Field Session with Us
1. It’s More Than a Photo Shoot — It’s a Storybook Come to Life
Your child becomes the star of their own fairy tale. Whether they’re picking lavender, dancing through rows of flowers, or simply soaking in the moment, these sessions feel like a daydream — and the resulting images? Absolutely frame-worthy. You’ll never look at a lavender sachet the same way again.
Soft blooms, soft smiles — this close-up captures the gentle magic of childhood and the charm of New Jersey’s lavender farms in full bloom.
2. Styling is Included (Yes, Really!)
We’ve got dresses, accessories, and all the whimsical touches that turn a simple field session into full-blown fine art. For girls up to size 12/14, we take the guesswork out of what to wear. You just show up — we’ll take care of the magic.
Twirl-worthy moments in a sea of lavender — this is what summer magic looks like at our NJ lavender mini sessions.
3. You’re Booking a Pro Who Understands Light, Kids, and Chaos
I’m a mom. I’ve lived through tantrums in tutus and meltdowns over sandals. That’s why our sessions are quick, stress-free, and designed to make your child shine — even if they’ve had three snacks and still said they’re starving. You’re in good hands here.

💜 Why Lavender Fields?
Aside from the obvious visual candy (hello, Instagram-worthy!), lavender has a calming scent, a stunning color palette, and an old-world charm that photographs beautifully. Especially when your little one is twirling in a soft pink dress, sunshine in her hair, and the purple haze of flowers behind her.
Spinning through lavender like a storybook come to life — moments like these are what our New Jersey lavender sessions are all about.
🌱 5 Fun Gardening Facts About New Jersey (Because Why Not?)
The Garden State wasn’t just a nickname — New Jersey has over 100,000 acres of farmland dedicated to fruits, vegetables, and yes, flowers like lavender.
Lavender grows best in South Jersey’s sandy, well-drained soil, which is why our fields bloom beautifully here in June and early July.
Pollinators love lavender — it’s a favorite for bees and butterflies. Great for nature, and even cuter for photos.
New Jersey’s growing season is longer than most northern states, meaning we get an extended window to enjoy blooms and book sessions.
You can plant your own lavender at home! Just make sure it gets full sun and has good drainage — even Jersey lavender likes a little personal space.
