Our award-winning exclusive peony sessions have been released. These are sold out every year. We are the only photographer permitted to shoot here since 2015. We will have it exclusively to ourselves. Peonies are one of my favorites to photograph. As you can see, many color options and many fields. This is our only weekend date availability until Late October and we only have two weekend dates left for the entirety of the 2023 year. After this next week, we have absolute no availability until mid-September (not even weeknights).

Before and After Editing Process- behind the scenes.

As a photographer, it is crucial to show before and after edits of our work for several reasons. Firstly, it allows us to demonstrate our skills and expertise in post-processing techniques. By showcasing the original image alongside its edited version, we can highlight the artistic decisions made and the enhancements achieved. This helps potential clients understand the level of creativity and attention to detail we bring to our photography. Additionally, displaying before and after edits helps in managing expectations. Clients can get a realistic understanding of how editing can elevate and transform an image, ensuring they are satisfied with the final result. Ultimately, sharing before and after edits not only showcases our abilities but also builds trust and transparency with our audience.

Capture Timeless Beauty with a Peony Photo Shoot

Are you looking for a unique and enchanting experience for your next photoshoot? Look no further than a peony photo shoot to add a touch of elegance and beauty to your collection. As professional photographers at Shooting Star Photography LLC, we believe that capturing the essence of nature alongside human subjects can create truly breathtaking images. That's why we highly recommend incorporating peonies into your next photo session. Here's why a peony photo shoot is a must:

1. Symbolism and Significance

Peonies have long been regarded as a symbol of love, prosperity, and good fortune. In many cultures, these exquisite flowers represent beauty, grace, and even romance. Including peonies in your photo shoot can add a touch of symbolism and depth to your images, allowing you to tell a story through the visuals. Imagine the stunning visuals of a bride surrounded by delicate peonies, symbolizing love and happiness for her new journey.
