Broad Street-City Dreams Sessions!

There is one type of session that I truly love and that is my city dream sessions. These photography sessions have been our signature style and most recognized pieces of work. These are the types of sessions that are exhilarating and so much fun to do... but also produce some very beautiful quality of images that truly capture this beautiful time in your life.

At Shooting Star Photography LLC, we specialize in capturing family memories that will last a lifetime. One of our favorite spots to shoot in Philadelphia is Broad Street. Not only is it an iconic location that showcases the city's stunning architecture, but it also offers a dynamic backdrop that enhances the beauty of any family portrait. With the bustling city as a backdrop, we can capture candid moments of families strolling hand in hand or laughing together. We cherish the opportunity to document the love and connection between family members and showcase the beauty of Philadelphia at the same time.

Broad Street Philadelphia Facts

Broad Street is one of Philadelphia's most famous and vibrant thoroughfares. Here are some facts about Broad Street that you might find interesting:

1. Length: Broad Street stretches 13 miles from the old Naval Yard in South Philadelphia to the northern edge of the city at the city line with Cheltenham Township.

2. History: Broad Street was originally called Sassafras Street by William Penn when he first laid out the city in the late 17th century. It was later renamed Broad Street because of its width.

As you can see, Broad Street offers a very dreamy and magical quality to your family’s photo session!

Top Two Reasons to Have a Maternity Portrait with Your Kids

As professional photographers, we highly recommend capturing maternity portraits that include your kids. It is a delightful opportunity to not only document this special phase of your life but also create everlasting memories. This photo shoot we did on Broad Street in Philadelphia. It is a fantastic backdrop for maternity and couture photography. Here are the top two reasons why you should consider having your maternity portrait with your kids:

1. Celebrating the Journey Together: Including your children in your maternity portraits allows them to actively participate in celebrating the arrival of their new sibling. Pregnancy is a significant milestone not only for you but also for your children, as it signifies the growth of your family. By involving them, you are enabling them to share in the joy and anticipation of your expanding household. These portraits will serve as cherished keepsakes, reminding your children of the excitement they felt during this unique period. As they grow older, they can look back on these images and feel a deep sense of connection and love for their siblings.

2. Siblings Bonding and Connection: Maternity portraits with your kids offer a wonderful opportunity for them to connect with their unborn sibling. During the photo session, they can touch your belly, interact with the baby, and even share special moments of love and tenderness. This experience allows siblings to forge a bond early on, creating a foundation of affection and care that will continue to grow as they grow older together. Maternity portraits featuring siblings provide a visual representation of this connection, capturing their relationship at its beginning stages.
At Shooting Star Photography, we recognize the importance of family dynamics and the role siblings play in shaping each other's lives. By having your maternity portrait with your kids, you are not only preserving precious memories but also celebrating the joy and love that your growing family embodies. Let us help you capture these beautiful moments, ensuring that they remain cherished for generations to come.

 Have I told you I love maternity photography? I tend to shout this from the rooftops... all the time! If I could do maternity photography every single day.. I honestly would be happy and content in my career. Seriously, this is one of my favorite times to capture in life. This is the time where our bodies are changing and we tend to feel pretty awful at the end. I felt like a whale and never got them done, but I do wish I did. I want women to feel beautiful.

This is my goal with every session. I want those insecurities to not even be a second thought. I love including the family in this special time to be a part of the celebration of new life arriving. New members to their families. Allow us to celebrate this time with your family and to have these memories to hold onto forever. Let us celebrate this joy that is arriving. Our goal is to capture these sweet moments. To truly capture the essence of your family and to have these beautiful heirlooms to look back on for generations.

I have been considered the top 25 maternity photographers in the Delaware Valley two years in a row (I wasn't even aware of this selection or reward).
