Maternity & Family Session in Philadelphia | Fun on Broad

One Glowing Mama, Two Tiny Divas & A Whole Lot of Fun

If there’s one thing Philly and pregnancy have in common, it’s this: you’re gonna waddle by the end of the day.

This mama-to-be wasn’t just glowing—she was serving full-on goddess vibes in a dramatic red maternity gown, hugging her baby bump while her two little girls twirled around like they were auditioning for a Broadway show. (Spoiler alert: they’d both get the part.)

As a New Jersey family photographer, I love when my clients hop the bridge for a Philly session. Why? Because nothing says “effortlessly chic” like a stunning gown, two tiny sidekicks, and the entire city of Philadelphia politely ignoring you while you pose in the middle of a busy sidewalk.

**Dresses? We Got You.

Stress? We Don’t.**

One of the biggest perks of booking with Shooting Star Photography is that you don’t have to suffer through the “What am I wearing?!” crisis. My client closet is stocked with stunning gowns, like this jaw-dropping red one that moved just right in the city breeze—giving our mom-to-be main character energy. The little ones also got their pick of gorgeous dresses, because let’s be honest—if they’re not feeling fancy, we’re all in trouble.

Two Tiny Queens, One Supermom

Taking pictures with kids is an extreme sport. One minute, they’re giggling, the next, they’re staging a full-on protest about absolutely nothing. But that’s the beauty of family sessions—we roll with it. These two sweet girls had no problem stealing the spotlight, which made for the best mix of heartwarming and hilarious moments. (Pro tip: bribing with snacks is a time-honored tradition in the photography world.)

Why Philly? Because It’s Iconic.

Even though I’m a New Jersey maternity and family photographer, Philly is my second home for sessions. It’s got that perfect mix of grand architecture, unexpected quiet corners, and just the right amount of street chaos to keep things interesting. Plus, the city has range—one second, we’re getting dramatic, Vogue-worthy shots, and the next, we’re dodging a rogue pigeon.
