Making Memories at Shooting Star Photography- Through the Years.

This this little beach babe! I’ve been capturing her since she was a little girl.

I love when I am able to look back on photographs of the families that I have photographed, since the beginning and see how they’ve grown. 

Love an awesome family beach photo shoot. Lots of love here!

I have photographed this family every single year, for a countless number of times and years. I have so many sessions that I could list on here, but I am going to just put up a few.

With the current state of affairs, everything from violence in our schools, to food supply issues and down to the war in Ukraine. It makes you wonder if the world has gone nuts. However, I do strongly believe that with the bad we see, there is so much more good in the universe. If we can just look around and see. 

It starts at home. Look around and see the blessings around you. You are loved, you have a place to stay, you have food in the fridge and clothing (hopefully, you are wearing right now). It’s sometimes hard to see all the good and joy and live in the present. 

Our lavender sessions are always a hit!

Same one as above… Atlantic City beach shoot!

Another beautiful beach capture at the Jersey Shore.

Time doesn’t seem relevant some days. Each day kind of wanes by, but then time adds up. One day, becomes two weeks, becomes a few months, then a few years. It is constantly changing. 

That’s why it’s important to capture these memories of your family. We all get caught up in the day to day, but we forget to try and cherish this exact moment and time. 

The kid and his beach ball!

Love this little guy at the Jersey Shore!

Best Beach Photographer in New Jersey

Ahem. Cough cough… anyone can lay claim as to the best beach photographer in New Jersey. However, I really try to be the BEST. I want to give my clients the BEST and I want them to have the BEST experience. So am I really the best? I guess that’s for you to decide. We do know we love the Jersey shore and our summers here so why not capture the same for other families?

You can see all the fun we do here and the pastel colors we like to incorporate into our beach sessions. Hip hip hooray, it is all about having fun!

Best beach photographer in New Jersey! WE are called the "queen of beach" in the photography industry. People fly from all over to do business with us! I like being called the beach queen. I do love my sessions on the beach!

There is something magical about the beach. We all enjoy it. It's pretty much a standard of the summer... going to the Jersey shore and relaxing at the beach. I spent YEARS learning beach photography and well, now I teach it. Photographers will tell you, this is the HARDEST thing to learn... beach photography. Due to the blinding light. the sun bouncing off the sand, the water and the open spaces.

It's one thing I have PERFECTED over the years and it's what drives my business every summer. Beach Sessions at the Jersey shore.

Whether you are at the Jersey shore on vacation, or like to go "down the shore" for the weekend, we got you covered on beautiful family beach portraits!

We service Ocean City, Sea Isle, Stone Harbor, Avalon, Cape May, Wildwood and the shore towns in between. Let us create something magical for you this summer!!! ALL CLIENTS get access to our boutique luxury wardrobe, so you don't need to even buy anything for your session. Let us take care of it for you.

Fine art whimsical beach portraits with families at the Jersey Shore can create beautiful and memorable keepsakes for years to come. Here are some tips on how to capture these types of portraits:

1. Find a photographer: Look for a photographer who specializes in fine art beach portraits and has experience working with families. Check their portfolio to make sure their style aligns with what you are looking for.

2. Choose a location: Consider choosing a location that is meaningful to your family or that has a beautiful backdrop for your portraits. Some popular spots for beach portraits in South Jersey include Ocean City, Cape May, and Wildwood.

3. Coordinate outfits: Coordinate your family's outfits to create a cohesive look for your portraits. Choose colors that complement each other and avoid wearing busy patterns or logos.

4. Consider props: Props can add a fun and whimsical touch to your beach portraits. Bring along items like beach balls, umbrellas, or other beach-themed items that can add a playful element to your photos.

5. Embrace natural light: The beach provides plenty of natural light, which can create a beautiful and ethereal look for your portraits. Work with your photographer to schedule your session during the golden hour, which is the hour just before sunset when the light is soft and warm.

6. Have fun: The most important thing is to have fun and enjoy the experience with your family. Relax and let your personalities shine through in your portraits, and you'll end up with beautiful and meaningful keepsakes that you can cherish for years to come.
