Vintage Pop Shop Photography Sessions- Cape May, New Jersey

Vintage Vibes at Stewart's Root Beer Restaurant

Ahhh. Last year... (before covid struck down on us hard) we had some gorgeous pop shop vintage sessions in gorgeous Cape May, New Jersey! THESE WERE SOLD OUT WITHIN MINUTES, but I guess you can see why!

These were absolutely soooo much fun to do. All of my clients dressed to the NINES and it definitely showed on camera. Our shoot took place at my friend's shop, Stewart's Root Beer in downtown Cape May, New Jersey. It was a former bank building, converted into the vintage pop shop that you see on camera.

Update in Shooting Star Photography - Maternity Session Land!

Maternity Sessions have been rocking in South Jersey

It's been a whirlwind this last week with many ups and downs and cliffs in between! We have had so many inquiries the last few weeks and we're unfortunately having to turn some folks away at this time! In an effort for less inquiries, I have had to raise my prices in hopes that inquiries will decrease a bit.For anyone inquiring, right now, the schedule is looking pretty full for the rest of the year! We do have very limited session availability at this time and we are almost booked out for the rest of this calendar year.

Are You A Photographer Looking To Improve Your SEO?

In today's digital-driven age, Search Engine Optimization (SEO) has become an indispensable tool for photographers. As potential clients increasingly turn to search engines to find and evaluate photographers for their special events or projects, having a strong online presence has never been more crucial. SEO not only helps photographers improve their visibility in search engine results but also enhances their website's overall performance, leading to higher traffic, greater brand awareness, and ultimately, more clients. By strategically implementing SEO techniques, photographers can elevate their online visibility, outrank their competitors, and attract their target audience, making it an indispensable aspect of their marketing strategy.
