Efficiency: A 15-minute session is perfect for capturing beautiful moments without testing the patience of little ones.
Affordability: Mini sessions offer access to professional photography at a fraction of the cost of full-length sessions.
Stress-Free Planning: With pre-arranged locations, dates, and times, all you need to do is show up and enjoy the moment.

Making the Most of Your Mini Session
To get the most out of your Lavender Mini Session, a little preparation goes a long way. Consider these simple tips:
Choose the Right Outfits: Soft pastels, creamy whites, or light neutrals complement the purple hues of the lavender fields beautifully.
Arrive Early: Getting to the location a few minutes ahead of time allows you and your family to settle in and relax.
Engage Naturally: Let go of any stress, embrace spontaneity, and enjoy the moment. Authentic interactions make for the most heartfelt portraits.
Pack the Essentials: Bringing water, light snacks, and small toys for little ones can help keep everyone comfortable and happy.

It’s Only June...But It’s Time to Book Your Fall Family Portraits! 🍂📸
Don’t wait until the last minute to book your fall family portraits! With only a few spots left, now’s the time to plan your perfect fall session with Shooting Star Photography. Serving South Jersey, Philadelphia, and beyond!
Hey there, friends! I know, I know... it’s still summer, and we’re all busy soaking up the sunshine. But, here's a little secret: fall is coming. And trust me, you’ll want to get your spot booked for family portraits sooner rather than later. No one likes the stress of last-minute scrambling for a photographer in October, right? 😅
So, why should you book now?
We’re down to just 8 spots left for the rest of the year, and if you’re hoping to snag one of them, this is the time to act. I know it sounds crazy, but those gorgeous fall colors (and all the magical moments we’ll create) come and go so fast that we want to make sure we get you on our calendar before it's too late!
Here’s the scoop:
Mermaid Sessions? Yep, SOLD OUT.
Beach Mini Sessions? You bet, also SOLD OUT.
Unicorn Fall Mini Sessions? Coming soon... keep your eyes peeled!
Fall & Holiday Sessions? Almost gone, folks.
The best part? We’re not just sticking to one location. While we’ll still be hitting up our all-time favorite spots like Winslow, NJ (yes, you read that right), we'll also be traveling all over the Delaware Valley, including South Jersey, Philadelphia, and Central Jersey for those magical fall moments. 🍁
Why Winslow, NJ?
Winslow offers so much variety: tall trees, open fields, lakes... even a little rustic charm for those of you who love a cozy vibe. Plus, the golden fall leaves and warm, amber glow of autumn will make your family portraits pop!
Book Those Fall Minis!
I’m just as excited as you are to get these fall photoshoots rolling! Let’s make this fall season one to remember, and I can’t wait to see all your wonderful families at these stunning locations! We’ve got gowns and dresses to help you look your absolute best (because who doesn’t want to feel like royalty while we get the perfect shot?) 👑📸
