Tis' The NJ Photographer Busy Season

This is the CRAZIEST time of year for any photographer. We are super duper busy and it seems like there is no end in sight! Ha! However, I know there will be in the next upcoming weeks and thank goodness! I had to turn folks away this year because our books were completely full. In fact, we still are pretty full for the remainder of the year and have sessions up until New Year's Eve.. Yup, working until the last day of the year.However, I truly am blessed. For a photographer who specializes in only outdoor photography (I am trained in studio and have shot events indoors) I am pretty blessed that folks are reaching out to me to get their treasured moments captured.A lot of my weekdays have had to reschedule this week due to the rainy weather, so we will be doing them next week. I am quite surprised that folks are still wanting to do outdoor sessions.

"Creative Kids’ Portraits in NJ – Because ‘Say Cheese’ is Boring!"

Tired of the same old stiff smiles? At Shooting Star Photography, we turn kids' portraits into magical, personality-packed works of art! Whether they’re twirling in a field, striking a superhero pose, or making their best “I didn’t just eat candy” face, we capture the fun, chaos, and charm of childhood. Book a session before they outgrow their cuteness (or attitude)!
