hello & welcome

Jacqueline Belle Fleur Photography is the work of Jacqueline Gedonius. She is a NJ based photographer specializing in newborns, children, maternity and families. She photographs on location throughout the state and in her studio in Cranford.

Celebrate ONE!

They grow so fast, it’s hard to believe it when it’s time to CELEBRATE ONE!  The one year photos can be anything!  Sometimes it may seem overwhelming.  Which theme to choose?  What colors to select? Sometimes it’s just nice to capture baby in the most simple way.  Celebrate one by focusing on the baby!

Each cake smash session is so different.  I am happy to walk you threw all the many ideas, details, and decisions.  It shouldn’t be stressful, it should be fun!  But most importantly, more important than the props, it should focus on what’s most important – the baby!

The series of photos below are from the dressy portion of our cake smash session.  Perfect for framing (large prints, yes please!) and gifting.

About The Cake Smash Session

This is one of my favorite moments to capture!  A sweet little one, a delicious cake, and a whole lot of fun watching someone take his/her first BIG MESSY, little bite of cake.

DETAILS

The 1st Birthday Cake Smash takes place in my Cranford, NJ studio. The session includes my time and talent to capture your fully-edited final images.  And, I provide carefully and personally selected props such as handmade swags, balloons and paper flowers to match your backdrop/color selection.  Clients may bring any additional props they would like to include.

The session begins with more formal photos of baby and ends with the smash.  You may change birthday baby if you desire (up to 3 changes).  You will need to provide an outfit for your little one for the actual smash (I can always help with recommendations).  The Cake Smash is for the birthday baby ONLY, sorry no sibling or parent photos.  Once a theme is selected, it cannot be changed due to prop purchases.  Due to the recent increase in allergies, I require clients to bring their own smash cake. Please, before you order a smash cake, discuss the details with me.  I have been smashing cakes with babies for 11 years and have some advice that I would love to share with you to make your session the most successful smash.

THEME

Our exclusive and most popular Heidi Hope hand-painted backdrops are beautiful with plenty of adorable and gorgeous choices. For girls: carousel, hot air balloons, lavender fields, ballerinas, Paris, carnival and unicorns.  For boys:  sailboats, airplanes, hot air balloons, and carnival.   If those drops aren’t your style, no problem, I have lots of others to choose!   And sometimes, I just work with favorite colors instead of themes.

If you are interested in a first birthday capture without the cake and balloons – sans smash – please inquire.

About Jacqueline

I am so proud to say that 2022 marks by 12thAnniversary as a small business in New Jersey.  My specialty is modern portraiture for newborns, maternity, family and children (including babies, communion, cake smashes, and high school seniors) and I capture sessions throughout New Jersey, NYC or in my studio in Cranford, NJ.  Studio Sessions are for newborns, babies, small children, and fine art portraiture for older children/teens.

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.

Unicorn Cake Smash

Charlotte is ONE and there’s no better way to celebrate than a Unicorn Cake Smash.  Pinks, blues, purples made this set so pretty and sweet.  We  took this theme to the perfect point without losing focus on the baby.  My favorite kind of session.  That’s where the focus needs to be!  This Unicorn Cake Smash set is perfectly adorable.  Just as adorable as little Miss Charlotte!

Senior Sessions

Senior Sessions!  Time to celebrate one of your child’s biggest accomplishments. And there’s no better way than a photo session to capture this special moment.  So before your senior heads out for a new life adventure, create beautiful memories to share for a lifetime.  Once captured, it’s time to create that special album.  One that you will cherish and look at over and over and over.  Senior Sessions Senior Sessions Senior Sessions

Where?

I capture seniors all over New Jersey. This state is gorgeous and perfectly diverse. Locations range from formal parks to informal bohemian fields and barns, to beaches, and cool urban locations including cities, factories, and even beach communities. I also offer sessions in New York City. Some clients like more casual sessions and some like more formal. It’s completely up to you and your senior. What fits his/her personality best? If you don’t have any ideas in mind, we work together to find the best location for you. Some of the more formal parks are now requiring photography permits – so please inquire. Permits are not included in my fees but I am happy to secure them with the facilities.

When?

All year. I capture sessions on location from January-November (shooting in the snow is absolutely magical!). Outdoor sessions are only rescheduled due to rain. Please be flexible ~ rain dates are scheduled within 2 weeks and are almost always scheduled on a weeknight. During the spring and fall, my schedule fills very quickly. Most of my sessions take place on weeknights – when most of those beautiful locations are quiet – and a few weekends. Sessions are held 2 hours prior to sunset. Please inquire for avails.

Style

Seniors have a very distinct individual style. It’s imporant to select the right clothing for the session in order to capture each senior’s true personality. Some clothing and colors capture better than others. I offer a consultation with each senior and parent(s) prior to the session to review and recomend the best clothing choices.

Senior Session Rates & Reservations

For rates and reservation information or if you have further questions, simply send an email to jacqueline@jacquelinebellefleur.com or call 917-750-0188. Once a session date is mutually agreed upon, a $200 plus tax retainer is due upon booking to reserve your date. The remainder of the session balance is due the day of the session.

Favorite resources for senior session clothing: JCrew, Anthropologie, Free People

Senior Photos

Seniors are sassy, determined, confident, silly, bright, bold, sensitive, wild, lovable, energetic, rebellious, sociable, and moody, among so many others! That’s what makes capturing Senior Photos so fun and so rewarding!  Seniors bring so much to a session and capturing their true spirit is my goal.  Setting plays a big part of the session too.  It can be an urban location, a formal garden and park setting, or even a casual bohemian field.  It all depends upon the senior’s personality.  Some seniors request a remembrance – to capture with friends at their school.  Senior Photos can be anything desired!   Senior Photos Senior Photos - Jacqueline Belle Fleur Photography Senior Photos - Jacqueline Belle Fleur Photography Senior Photos - Jacqueline Belle Fleur Photography

Cake Smash

It’s a First Birthday Cake Smash!  Celebrating ONE is a milestone that deserves a photo session and the cake smash is it!  This adorable little man (look at that hair!) was so sweet.  Mom asked for simple colors to be sure that baby was the focus.  We chose white, blue and an accent of gold.
