It's a Busy Busy Season! Engagements and Babies!

It’s been busy over here. LOTS of babies and engagement sessions going on! You’ll see below on an epic engagement session that we recently had in Mullica HIll! Plus, everything fall is going on right now!

Shooting Star LLC Update

So far this year, Shooting Star Photography LLC has been overwhelmed with the joy and excitement of capturing precious moments for growing families and newly engaged couples. Our team has been busy creating beautiful and timeless photographs to commemorate these special occasions.
Our clients have welcomed us into their lives as they eagerly anticipate the arrival of their little ones or begin their journey into married life. The magic of capturing the innocence of a newborn or the love between two people committing to a lifetime together has been truly heartwarming for us.
As we continue to focus on preserving these lasting memories, we are grateful for the opportunity to be a part of such significant milestones in the lives of our clients. We look forward to the many more stories we will help tell through our photography in the coming months.

Kissy Kissy at this engagement shoot!

Babies and Engagement Sessions- Oh MY!

It's been a busy busy month and season, South Jersey... that's for sure... and a lot of sleepless nights (I have bags under my eyes to prove it)! The good news is, I wake up every single awesome day happy and grateful to go to work and to do what I love every single day... and that is being a photographer!  I LOVE capturing moments for people and making their personalities show on camera! I know it's Monday and we all get a case of the Monday's from time to time, but take a deep breath, soak it all in, and be thankful you've been given THIS DAY! Now go and conquer it!^^^^ That is my genuine motto and how I see the day every day!

Magical Fall Sessions!

I had a proud moment recently! I wanted to create the photo above (the little girl with the leaves) for the longest time and I had a client that was totally game for it!  Real leaves were used here and not an overlay (I always do my best to capture EVERYTHING in camera).

 She had so much fun this little gal that she kept saying cheese and smiling her entire session! I wanted to eat her up!Since this is a blog and I like to write about my photography journey, I've recently taken up some more classes (I know I know, I talk about it a lot, but this is how I am able to grow and grow so quickly!). I have 4 upcoming maternity sessions within the next few weeks and am very very excited for this! Capturing motherhood is my favorite thing to do in this business. I think it's genuinely beautiful!  I haven't had a maternity session in about 2 months and dying to get back into it!

I have a ton of family sessions in the mix in these next few weeks!Right now, the leaves have started changing! I'm able to capture that beautiful foliage that everyone wants. The weather is starting to turn. The air is getting crisper!  Ah, I love it!  I have now hired an assistant to help with my sessions and it has been a true blessing to have someone else there help me lug all my stuff around and to get smiles from the little adorable monkeys I work with daily.A few things that will be happening next year!  

We are launching into the Delaware and Philadelphia markets, taking more workshops (yup, already signed up for a few), we are going to start to offer pre-consultations.  This way we can sit down and discuss what you envision your session to be, right down to the clothing. Some sessions we can even stylize for you. Offer hair and makeup and the whole nine!

Products and Pampering!

This 2016 will be the year of the pampering!We are also going to be offering unique product lines that only photographers have access to in this industry. Custom pallet wall art, acrylic boxes (they are awesome and look 3-D) and other unique products. Also, will be offering custom videos along with music as well as a personalized ordering session, this way you can see all the products that we will be offering!

A new change...We are only going to be doing sessions around golden hour or an hour and a half before sunset... or at sunrise. I want the best possible outcome for your photographs and this time of day is guaranteed to give you this!

 Now, I know this time isn't always ideal. If it is a cloudy day or we have enough shade... then we can work with it!It's been an amazing 2015, thus far... but I'm even more excited to see what 2016 will bring! I want to grow and to keep giving my customers the best that I am able to offer in the area! I want every session to be customized to my customers needs!

Happy Shooting my friends! I hope you have an amazing day! Go out and conquer it!

Best,

Dee

Fall Shoot in South Jersey

Even cute with the tongue and all!

I adore candid photos! Got to love a good pumpkin.

Emergency Emergency... This boy is here to help put out some fires!

There is nothing better than the fall season here in South Jersey!  They are spectacular and it is something I look forward to every single year!  The weather is usually dry, sunny and the temperature is just perfection!  I even got married in October, that's how much I love it!  It's also the busiest season when it comes to photography. Most photographers are very business during this time! It's because most folks want to give out nice Christmas photos or just an annual thing families like to do, to capture some everlasting memories.   This is also one of my favorite times to get out and photograph landscapes.  I love Salem County, but I also like to check out the other counties throughout South Jersey as well.  After all, I am Yummygal of South Jersey History and Adventures! 

I know, I know... extremely corny, right... the name? That's a story in itself!First off... I want to apologize for all the recent posts.I'm truly sorry! I am so behind here! You may have to get use to me for a little bit. I'm just trying to play catch-up! I have not had the time to put up my sessions here on the blog.  I've been very busy. However, since it is the slow season, and it has died down just a little bit, due to this horrible weather we have been having. I'm able to get some sessions posted! 

This little boy had a fall photo shoot here at Shooting Star in Woodstown.  He wore normal clothing as well, as his firefighter Halloween Costume. And as you can see, he is just too darn cute! He's made for the camera! The weather was perfect. The lighting was perfect... And well.. He was just perfect as you can see.  You can't help, but to smile back!  I do a little pumpkin patch on the property every year to give it that extra fall feel.  The photos came out great!  I selected a few to post here.  Hope you enjoy seeing some photographs of our little fall session! Okay Okay Okay... This little boy is my kid... But I try to make it a point to photograph him every season as a mom! 

Happy Shooting, my friends!
