Bunny Sessions – Details

The Bunny Sessions are 20 minute sessions and include a gallery of 8-10 hi-res digital images edited to perfection.  You will be provided with an online link where you will be able to download your gallery of images.  Sessions are best for ages 6 months to teens.  A retainer is required to reserve a session.  The balance of the session is due two weeks prior to the session date.  The Bunny Sessions take place in my studio in Cranford, New Jersey.

We are animal SAFE! Children under a certain age will not hold bunnies, but sit next to them. If you have questions, please inquire. Bunny holding is at our discretion. Please respect our process and our safety for all.

To view previous Bunny Sessions from past seasons, please visit the blog.

My favorite clothing for the Bunny Sessions is Janie and Jack and Tutu Du Monde.  Pastel colors are best.  For boys, I love little vests, hats, and bow ties.  For girls, soft dresses and beautiful head pieces.  I’m here to help so I always encourage clients to send me clothing choices if they need any assistance.

Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays from my family to yours!  It’s been another wonderful year with you all at Jacqueline Belle Fleur Photography.  Thank you so much for supporting me and my small business.  I’m looking so forward to the New Year and what it will bring.  2023 marks 13 years!  It’s hard to believe.  The time is flying by.  My daughter Lila was two when I started capturing, she is now fourteen (soon to be fifteen in February).  Just as I am watching my daughter grow too quickly, I am watching your children.  It’s been a complete honor and pleasure.  So many of the kids that were teeny tiny babes are now towering over me.  Honestly, it makes me smile but feel a little old at the same time!  I so appreciate you all who return to me year after year for family photos.

Happy Holidays – Family Sessions with Jacqueline

I wish I could stress how much I encourage and love family sessions.  How many of you have photos with your lovely littles?  I honestly don’t have enough. Why? I am always the one taking them (as are most moms).

When I look back at family photos from my childhood, I have two images with my parents and siblings together. Just two!  I’m betting that I am not alone.  I encourage you to think of family images in a different way and with an additional purpose.  We love to post pics of our children all over social media, we all do it.  One day, when your children are young adults and become parents, they will ask for images of their childhood with YOU.  They will be making memories with their kids while re-living theirs.  So let’s not make the same mistake as past generations and let’s celebrate the family in photos, the ENTIRE family, and capture the moments that will be cherished when your children are old enough to truly appreciate it.

There is nothing greater than a capture of a loving family laughing and smiling together.

Family Holiday Photos

Family Holiday Photos consume my fall schedule.  And, I understand exactly why.  The weather is warm, the foliage is still colorful, and families are planning their holiday outfits and cards.  Planning ahead is the key!  My holiday session schedule is announced in late August/early September so families have plenty of time to prepare.  We capture in September, October and early November.

Dance Photographer

Dance Photographer? Yes, please!  I’ll do this all day long.  My passion for dance started with ten years of childhood dance lessons but was only strengthened with my years as a Marketing Director at Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival.  From talking and laughing with Merce Cunningham in the tea garden to watching Mark Morris work his magic in rehearsals. Lois Greenfield’s art became a marketing department staple.  Those years were inspiring to say the least.

When APA called and asked if I would capture their senior dancers, I didn’t hesitate to say YES, PLEASE!  What a dream session.  These dancers are so impressive and so incredibly talented.  What an honor for me to send them off to college with some amazing captures.

As a small business for over a decade, I have been honing my craft while capturing life, landscape and stage photography for over 35 years.  This is not my “hustle” or hobby. It’s so much more. It’s my livelihood and my labor of love.  I pride myself in providing my clients with the best quality images, products and service. I understand the importance of memories and skillfully capturing them and work under the philosophy of “I capture for my clients what I would want for myself.”

My captures have graced newsprint, magazines, online social media and television shows such as US Weekly (multiple times), BET, The New York Times, The Pittsburgh Post Gazette, The Wendy Williams Show, and USA Network on The Cromarties among many others.  Recent Commercial works also includes the branding/advertising campaign for The Intrepid Museum in NYC.
