Tis' The NJ Photographer Busy Season
Tis' The NJ Photographer Busy Season
This is the CRAZIEST time of year for any photographer. We are super duper busy and it seems like there is no end in sight! Ha! However, I know there will be in the next upcoming weeks and thank goodness! I had to turn folks away this year because our books were completely full. In fact, we still are pretty full for the remainder of the year and have sessions up until New Year's Eve.. Yup, working until the last day of the year.However, I truly am blessed. For a photographer who specializes in only outdoor photography (I am trained in studio and have shot events indoors) I am pretty blessed that folks are reaching out to me to get their treasured moments captured.A lot of my weekdays have had to reschedule this week due to the rainy weather, so we will be doing them next week. I am quite surprised that folks are still wanting to do outdoor sessions.

The Importance of Updating Your Location on Your Business Page on Facebook
As a business owner, it is crucial to stay ahead of the game in today's highly competitive digital landscape. One crucial aspect of maintaining an influential online presence is consistently updating your location on your business page on Facebook. Here's why:
A Typical Shooting Star Family Shoot
A Typical Shooting Star Family Photo Shoot
Here's another family shoot that was done last fall. I told you I was behind on getting things up on this blog, eh? This family came all the way from Medford, Burlington County. We started at the studio, here at Shooting Star in Salem County, South Jersey and then we went to a beautiful scouted location that is near my home. I love all my locations! These are scouted for their light, their elements. I love rustic, I love barn-styled shoots, I love nature!
Behind the Scenes with Shooting Star's Post Processing!
Before and After Post Processing Editing.
The secret is out of the bag South Jersey! Photographers aren't just great behind the camera these days, they are often magical wizards when it comes to the post-processing department (meaning editing your photographs)! I'm spilling a little beans at what goes on in my editing process.I am a firm believer in getting my photographs correct in camera. In fact, that's what I always strive for.
I never want to have to later rely on Lightroom or Photoshop to "fix" my issues or problems. I go into every shoot with direction. I know how I want things to go, what poses we'll be doing, and if using props, utilizing them to their full potential (I'm not the biggest fan of props, fyi.)I am not bossy, but I know how to give great direction and how to pose people to show them in their best light. I think some new photographers don't know how to take charge of the situation at times and that can be a new and difficult learning process, especially how to photograph toddlers. They can often-times be the most difficult.
A Tisket, A Tasket... A Strawberry Baby In A Basket
Photographing Babies
We've been having some very odd spring weather... Well I guess "normal weather" in what we see this time of year in South Jersey. Some days it gets hot out and up to 60+ degrees and then other days call for snow.I took advantage of the warmer weather the other day and I found a "strawberry" growing in our garden at Shooting Star! The baby girl I worked with is 11 months old and we put a strawberry cap on her with a green diaper cover... put her in an adorable basket and magic happened! She was such a doll to work with!The Shooting Star garden grounds are starting to come alive!
