Brother and Sister Meadow Shoot- Westville, NJ.

Brotherly Love in the Westville, NJ Meadow Shoot

On a sunny day in Westville, NJ, Shooting Star Photography LLC had the opportunity to capture the pure love between a brother and sister during a meadow shoot. The setting was idyllic, with tall grass gently swaying in the breeze and the golden rays of the sun illuminating the scene.

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!
