We make photo shoots fun!

We believe the best photos are the ones you love. Sometimes that’s beautiful pictures for special occasions. Other times it’s capturing the energy and chaos that makes every child unique.

With Shooting Stars, you get photos you love, every time. We make taking photos fun, so you can relax, enjoy the day, and come away with photos of your kids that show off their personality and style.

Michelle T.

“I wasn’t sure what to expect because my son is super shy around new people, but Terry and Lucie made him feel comfortable straight away. The whole shoot felt like playtime, they somehow captured him with some silly and funny moments that made the photos very HIM. We love the experience! Thank you so much!”

Lily L.

“We did the modelling package to help our daughter practice and submit photos to their partner business Casting Kids. The photoshoot was so efficient, we finished within 30 minutes and the shots were crisp, natural, and professional. I love that Terry gives feedback when we review the photos. The hardest part was choosing which ones to send because they were all so good!”

Sarah & Jason K.

“We booked the family session not really knowing what we wanted, but the photographer guided us every step of the way. We had our cats in the photoshoot as well. The kids had a blast, Terry’s team knows how to keep kids engaged. We now have these beautiful photos printed and framed in our hallway. Would totally do this every year!”

Grace Y.

“This was our third session with Shooting Stars. I remember the first time was for my daughter’s baby portraits, and now she’s 5! They’ve captured her growing up in the most beautiful way. We wouldn’t go anywhere else.”
