Magical Memories with a Unicorn Photographer

Intro

Working as a unicorn photographer is a unique and enchanting occupation that brings unparalleled joy to my life. My favorite unicorn buddy, Drifter, and I spend our days capturing precious moments and making magical memories come true. Recently, we had the delightful opportunity to photograph two lovely sisters and their mom. Let me take you on a journey through this magical experience.

The Enchantment of Unicorn Photography

Two sisters enjoying their time with Drifter!

The realm of unicorn photography is a blend of two elements that ooze magic: the mystical charm of unicorns and the captivating artistry of photography. Through the unique perspective of my camera, I immortalize the ethereal splendor of these legendary beings, highlighting their captivating aesthetics. The spiral horn that graces their foreheads, their opulent manes that sway with the wind, every aspect of unicorns bring an undeniable sense of whimsy and wonderment to each photography session.

However, the enchantment of unicorn photography doesn't merely reside in capturing the visual allure of these celestial creatures. It also lies in observing and documenting the profound bonds that form between the unicorns and their human counterparts. These are the priceless moments that make for timeless photos, be it a shared gaze or a gentle stroke, a touch of the mane or a playful nudge. These snapshots of affection encapsulate the sheer magic that unicorn photography bestows upon its admirers.

Delving into this magical world, every photoshoot unfolds like a beautifully illustrated fairy tale, where both the humans and the unicorns become the protagonists, living their fantasy, if only for a brief moment. This is the enchantment of unicorn photography, a unique profession that combines the wonder of myth and the charm of reality.

All smiles with these two little ladies. Drifter is happy as a clam!

The Incredible Bond with Drifter

Drifter, in all his celestial grandeur, is not just a prop but the very heart of my photography work. More than just a beautiful creature, he is an integral part of the magic we create in every photography session. Our relationship goes beyond a mere working association, extending into the realms of friendship and mutual respect. During photo shoots, Drifter's intuitive nature shines through. He seems to grasp my unspoken directions, altering his posture and movements in harmony with the camera. This intuitive understanding elevates our work, infusing each photograph with an additional sprinkle of magic.

From his majestic white coat that sparkles in the sun to his expressive eyes full of wisdom, Drifter is a sight to behold. His gentle demeanor and calm presence put our little princesses at ease, ensuring their interaction with him is natural and joyful. His companionship is not just a privilege but also an absolute delight, contributing significantly to the enchanting and unforgettable experiences we offer. His inherent kindness and intuitive interaction help to bring every child's dream to life and make each photography session a truly magical experience.

The Joy of Photographing Princesses

There's a transformative enchantment that unfolds when a little girl, bedecked in a princess gown and tiara, steps in front of my camera. The twinkle in their eyes, the innocent giggles escaping their lips, the contagious excitement they exude - each of these moments are priceless to capture. As their fairy-tale dreams begin to materialize, their authentic expressions of pure delight make for heartwarming portraits.

One of the most rewarding aspects of my job as a unicorn photographer is being able to provide a unique, magical platform where these young princesses can express their true selves. The enchanting environment, coupled with their interaction with Drifter, gives them the confidence to just be themselves. Whether it's a bashful smile, a wide-eyed stare at Drifter, or a fit of laughter as the unicorn nuzzles against them - each photograph becomes a unique narrative, an intimate window into their joyous experience.

What's truly remarkable is the palpable shift in their demeanor as the photo session progresses. The initial sense of awe and disbelief gradually gives way to a more relaxed and natural expression of joy. Their enchanting interaction with Drifter, the unicorn, sparks a magical transformation that's mesmerizing to capture.

This process of capturing the sheer joy of these little princesses in their magical environment is both exhilarating and humbling. It's a beautiful reminder of the innocent wonder that childhood encapsulates, the boundless imagination that fuels their joy, and the simple pleasures that create the most endearing portraits. These are the magical moments that inspire me and affirm my love for this truly special profession.

The little bugger is smiling, but she just wanted to run around and play with her unicorn!

A Memorable Photo Shoot with Two Sisters and Their Mother

The photo session with these two sisters and their momma was truly a spectacle of love, laughter, and enchanting magic. Adorned in princess dresses, the sisters interacted with Drifter in a way that captured the quintessence of childhood - sheer wonder, boundless curiosity, and unbridled joy. Every giggle, every wide-eyed stare, and every delicate touch was a moment of magic, captured for eternity.

The beauty of this session was the shared excitement between the sisters. Their united thrill as they gazed at Drifter and their contagious giggles painted a heartwarming narrative of sisterhood, bonding them together in this unique and magical experience.

And then, there was the mom. Her presence added an extra layer of love and warmth to the shoot being with her kiddos. The way she looked at her daughters with pride, love, and a touch of nostalgia in her eyes, added a deeper emotional element to the photographs. Her interaction with Drifter, and her daughters, created a harmonious blend of maternal love and fantasy.

The photo session created not just individual portraits but a beautiful tableau of family love, highlighted by their shared experience with Drifter. The photographs captured the essence of their bond, a bond sealed with love, laughter, and a touch of unicorn magic. This photo session was a perfect example of how unicorn photography can create lasting memories, full of magic and love, that extend beyond the lens of a camera.

I love the cream dress. I think it went great with this whole session!

Are there certain locations that are better suited for unicorn photography?

Not necessarily. The same rules apply as if you were getting your portraits without a unicorn. As long as the location has beautiful lighting... all will be golden!

Are there any safety measures in place to ensure that Drifter and clients stay safe during a photoshoot?

Absolutely! We have two handlers that we edit out of all our images. All there by your child's side. Drifter has never hurt anyone. He kind of just lets you pet him like a puppy, but as always you never know when working with animals and safety is our number one priority!

What inspired us to specialize in unicorn photography?

I loved this movie called, Legend, as a child. The unicorn was running through the forest. It's such a magical scene. Two unicorns playing in the stream and flower petals flowing through the air! Give it a google. Tom Cruise is in it too!

Last photo. I love this girl’s smile and what it is all about!

Making Magical Memories Come True

As a unicorn photographer, my mission is to etch every magical moment in a frame that lasts forever. Every photograph is a timestamp of joy, a tangible piece of wonderment, and a manifestation of enchanting magic that the families can revisit time and again. When I look at the final photographs and see the gleaming eyes, the radiant smiles, and the spark of delight frozen in time, I feel an indescribable joy. It's a reminder that I have been able to create an experience that transcends the mundane and ventures into the realm of extraordinary.

With every shutter release, I aim to craft a unique story, a visual narrative that captures not just an image but an emotion, a feeling, a magical moment. The satisfaction of knowing that these photographs will be cherished by the families, and perhaps passed down through generations, fills me with a sense of fulfillment.

It is this extraordinary journey, from the initial photo shoot to the final editing, that makes my profession as a unicorn photographer so incredibly rewarding. It's more than just a job, it's the ability to create and deliver joy in its purest form. Every photograph is a testament to the enchanting magic that Drifter and I have been able to create, and the everlasting memories we've had the privilege to be a part of. It's a journey that I treasure, an experience that fuels my passion, and a profession that brings joy not just to me, but to everyone who crosses paths with Drifter and me.

Happy Magical Shooting, my friends!

Why are unicorns so magical? NJ’s Best Unicorn Photographer

Unicorns are often portrayed as beautiful, graceful, and mysterious creatures with a single horn on their forehead. The idea of a creature that looks like a horse, but has a magical horn, captures the imagination of many children and adults alike.

One reason that unicorns are particularly magical to children is that they are often associated with innocence, purity, and goodness. Many stories and myths depict unicorns as gentle creatures that only allow themselves to be approached by those who are pure of heart. Hence, those little and cute rascals. 

This idea of a magical creature that rewards kindness and goodness can be particularly appealing to children who are learning about the importance of being kind and compassionate to others.

Additionally, the idea of a magical creature with a single horn may tap into children's fascination with magic and the unknown. Unicorns are often portrayed as having special powers, such as the ability to heal or the power to grant wishes. These powers can be particularly enchanting to children who are still discovering the wonders of the world around them.

A magical unicorn awaits your child in the enchanted forests of New Jersey.

Unicorns in Mythology 

Unicorns are a popular creature in mythology and have been featured in stories and legends from various cultures around the world. Some of the most well-known appearances of unicorns in mythology include:

1. Ancient Greek mythology: The Greek historian Ctesias wrote about a creature called the "Indian wild ass" that had a single, white horn on its forehead, which is believed to be one of the earliest references to unicorns.

2. European folklore: In medieval Europe, unicorns were often depicted as a symbol of purity and were believed to be able to purify water with their horn. They were also associated with royalty and were often included in coat of arms and other heraldry.

3. Chinese mythology: In Chinese mythology, the Qilin is a creature that is often depicted with a single horn and is believed to be a bringer of good luck and prosperity.

4. Indian mythology: In Hindu mythology, the unicorn-like creature is known as the Indrik, which is said to have the power to purify water and grant wishes.

5. Persian mythology: In Persian mythology, the unicorn is called the Shadhavar, which is a deer-like creature with a single horn that is said to be able to kill snakes.

I find it fascinating that unicorns have been depicted in all if the old world… and guess what? You can also find them frolicking in the magical forests of New Jersey. 

A unicorn photo session for a child is a magical and unforgettable experience. Here's a description of what a typical unicorn photo session with Shooting Star Photography looks like:

Magic everywhere. We also provide the gowns as a courtesy to our clients. There is no additional fee.

First, the child and their family would arrive at the location of the photo session, which might be a beautiful outdoor setting like a meadow or a forest. There, they greeted by myself and the staff. We then guide you over to our dresses and help you choose your dress for the day. We have a large changing tent on location for your privacy. We help you get dolled up and will match up a tiara or flower crown. 

When ready, we introduce you to our magical unicorn, who is gentle and friendly, and might even have a sparkling, glittery horn!

Your child would then have the opportunity to interact with the unicorn, perhaps by petting or brushing its mane, or even feeding it some treats. I would capture these special moments on camera, ensuring that the child has plenty of wonderful memories to look back on.

Next, your child would have the chance to pose for photos with the unicorn. They might sit on the unicorn's back or stand next to it, and I would take a variety of shots from different angles to capture the beauty and magic of the moment.

Throughout the photo session, the unicorn's handler and I work together to ensure that your child is safe and comfortable at all times. We would also provide guidance on how to interact with the unicorn and make sure that your child's experience is as magical and enchanting as possible.

After the photo session is over, your child would have the opportunity to say goodbye to the unicorn and perhaps even get s special kiss and a little treat to remember their magical encounter. Overall, a unicorn photo session is an incredibly special and unforgettable experience for any child who loves these mythical creatures!

We then help guide you to get dressed for your separated back home. We will then contact you with all the proofs from the day to be able to choose your magical memories! Then we edit the choices you made and will send you a final gallery of your enchanting day. These are such treasures to look back on and children love seeing them displayed at home. 

The princess and her magical unicorn. It is always the best experience for the princess in your life.

Overall, unicorns are magical to children because they represent a world of imagination, wonder, and possibility. They offer a glimpse into a world that is full of beauty, kindness, and mystery, which can be particularly appealing to young minds that are still exploring and learning about the world. It’s a fantastic experience for any child to have. 

If you would love a unicorn portrait experience with us at various locations throughout South Jersey from meadows, to beaches and to magical forests, we have you covered. 

Our only upcoming mini session can be found here. However, we offer private unicorn sessions and would need to be contacted directly.
