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!

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!
It's a Dog EAT Dog... Photography World
Breaking Into The Tough Business Of Photography
This is going out to any new photographer out there. The photography world is a dog eat dog, competitive field my friends. They will literally eat you up and spit you out alive and then double that! For anyone just getting into it, it's a whirlwind of information and a bizarre Alice In Wonderland experience.

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.
