Magical Winter Unicorn Experience 2021... Just Launched!

Unicorns.... It's what we do BEST around here. We have had folks come in from all over the country to be photographed with our real life unicorns! We truly like to make it a unique experience for everyone!

I truly enjoy seeing every child's face when they see the wonderment of their unicorn. It is truly incredible seeing magic unfold between your eyes and the interaction of child and unicorn. Each child falls in love and it melts my heart! I am still working on my little girl to do such a session and I think she's now ready!!! I want to post these all over my own wall of this art!

With every single unicorn session, we bring dresses in girls sizes from 2-14 and headpieces. All you need to do, is show up and smile and have a great time! We will take care of the rest for you!

Until we meet again, South Jersey! Hope to work with you soon! Let's make this a magical unicorn experience for your princess or prince!

Exciting News: Our New Photography Studio is Now Open in Downtown Maple Shade, NJ!

I am beyond thrilled to announce a milestone that’s been years in the making! Starting November 1st, 2020, Shooting Star Photography is officially opening its very first on-location studio in the heart of beautiful Maple Shade, New Jersey! This exciting move marks the beginning of a new chapter for us, and we couldn’t be more ecstatic to share it with all of you.

A Dream Come True: The Journey to Our New Studio

Since the inception of Shooting Star Photography in February 2015, opening a physical studio has been one of my biggest goals. For years, I’ve dreamed of having a dedicated space where I can meet clients, work on new creative ideas, and provide a year-round photography experience. The time has finally come, and I’m still pinching myself!

This new studio is not just a place to shoot; it’s a place for creativity, memories, and connection. I’ve poured my heart into this project, and it’s amazing to see it come to life in such a wonderful location.

Some of the pieces we ordered and can’t wait to put them in play for the new Maple Shade, NJ studio location.

Why Maple Shade, NJ?

You might be wondering why we chose Maple Shade for our studio. Let me tell you, it’s the perfect spot! Located in downtown Maple Shade, our studio is easily accessible from all over the region. Whether you’re in Philadelphia, New York, North Jersey, or anywhere in South Jersey, we’re right in the sweet spot.

Maple Shade is a central hub for all things South Jersey, conveniently nestled between the Moorestown and Cherry Hill malls. You can easily access us via major roads like New Jersey Turnpike, Route 295, Route 73, and Route 38, as well as the Betsy and Tacony bridges and the Ben Franklin Bridge. If you’re in Burlington County, we’re just a short drive away, so there’s no reason not to come visit us!

Our New Location at 4 West Main Street

Our new studio is located at 4 West Main Street, Maple Shade, and it’s already shaping up to be the perfect environment for your next photo session. We’ve carefully selected furnishings and décor to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere that will make you feel right at home. Our location offers a mix of both indoor and outdoor shooting spaces, allowing us to provide the most stunning portraits in every season.

From maternity and family shoots to magical themed sessions, we’re ready to take your photos to the next level in this beautiful space. We can’t wait to create lasting memories with you, all while having fun along the way!

A Huge Thank You to Maple Shade

I want to take a moment to thank the Maple Shade community for welcoming us with open arms. Just last night, we received the unanimous approval from the committee to open our studio. We’re incredibly grateful for the support we’ve received, and we’re eager to become a part of the vibrant business community here in downtown Maple Shade.

We’re thrilled to be able to service not just Maple Shade, but also surrounding areas like Delran, Cinnaminson, Moorestown, Cherry Hill, Mount Laurel, Medford, and Marlton. No matter where you’re from, we’re here to capture your special moments and turn them into beautiful works of art.
