Engaged!

Monday, May 23, 2022

ENGAGED! It was a BIG Yes in BIG Sur! My gorgeous niece Mia and her handsome boyfriend (now fiancé) are ENGAGED! Our family is beyond thrilled. I’d like to say a HUGE thank you to Kristen Pace of Better with You Photography in Pacific Grove, California (near Big Sur) for capturing this special moment! If you are in California and getting married or engaged, call Kristen!

Mia & Lance, we love you and wish you all the happiness and joy in the world. We cannot wait to share your special day with you. You could not be more perfect for each other. A match made in heaven. Let the lifelong celebrations begin! XOXO

Mommy & Me Sessions

Tuesday, April 26, 2022

2022 Spring Mommy & Me Sessions are the perfect gift for Mother’s Day! Let’s celebrate Mother’s Day in beautiful photos. This is the gift Mom will never forget! Give her the gift she will cherish the most – captures of her with her little(s). It’s all about creating new memories with her babies.

I will be offering a VERY LIMITED number of Mommy & Me sessions. Mom is always capturing the photos, so let’s make sure she is in them! From beautiful parks, fountains and flowers, these carefully selected locations will offer a beautiful array of backdrops for gorgeous captures. The photo gallery includes captures of Mom with her “babies,” the kids together, and each child individually. We play and have fun too!

Locations & Dates

Fountain & Park. A Client Favorite! Thursday, June 9 & Sunday, June 12 (rain dates are June 16 & 26). This is such a beautiful location. Lots of beautiful greens and trees and a gorgeous lake and fountain. This park is at it’s best on weeknights, when we have more of it to ourselves.

The Gardens. NEW! Friday, June 3 & Wednesday, June 8 (rain dates are June 10 & 15). New locations are so exciting. This is a new garden and it’s so so pretty!

Vintage Barn. NEW! For those of you who love Bohemian, this is THE spot! A historic farmhouse and barn make the perfect backdrop for this session. And, we’ll even capture against the new crops growing in the fields. Friday, June 17 (rain date is June 24).

Mommy & Me Sessions – Details

Sessions are $425 plus tax. Each session is 30 minutes and includes 10 hi-res digital images via digital transfer. All sessions will be held in the late afternoon (after school) at a beautiful location within 30 minutes of Cranford. Additional images will be available for purchase at an additional charge.

Please be flexible and make sure you are able to save the rain date prior to booking.

To reserve your session, you must have a date confirmed prior to making retainer payment. There is a $200 retainer to hold your session date. The balance of $225 will be due the date of the session. Please email jacqueline@jacquelinebellefleur.com to reserve a date and time. Sessions cannot be held without the retainer. Sorry, no exceptions.

Sorry, no family photos with both parents. If you would like one of these sessions as family session and include Dad, there is additional $100 charge ($525 session fee). No shared sessions with friends or extended family. No refunds. Dads, if you would like a Daddy & Me Session with your littles, please contact me.

My favorite clothing for Mommy and Me Sessions is Joyfolie and Tutu du Monde. They have coordinating clothing for Moms and Daughters. And, Janie and Jack and JCrew are great places to shop for boys.

Siblings Day

Sunday, April 10, 2022

April 10th is National Siblings Day. It’s time to celebrate siblings. Siblings LAUGH, PLAY, and LOVE. It’s about capturing it all! Capture it for a lifetime of memories – the sweet and serious moments, the funny and crazy moments, and my favorite, the candid moments. After all, these little ones grow so darn fast! Let’s remember it all.

Take it one step further, and place all those beautiful captures on your walls at home. Adorn your walls with prints and gallery wrapped canvases. Create one of a kind books for your coffee tables and bookshelves. Show off your family. And, show your family just how much you adore and love them. My house is filled with captures of my girl and our family. I wouldn’t have it any other way. My family is my everything.

National Siblings Day & 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.

National Take a Walk in the Park Day

Wednesday, March 30, 2022

March 30th is National Take a Walk in the Park Day. Twist my arm! So many gorgeous parks in New Jersey, you don’t have to ask me twice. These families are talking their own walk in the park during our Family Sessions. Making family sessions FUN is what makes the captures so natural and brings out all those smiles you want to remember.

Puppy Day

Wednesday, March 23, 2022

March 23rd is National Puppy Day. Meet Henley, my sweet red & black sable, long-coat German Shepherd.

I couldn’t resist capturing Henley’s “newborn photos” five days after she arrived to us. She weighed a whopping 5 pounds! I honestly thought she was a bear cub. Until those ears popped up. She was small in size, but a super large personality. And now 5 years later, still small (53 pounds), her personality is still larger than her size. But, she is super sweet and that more than makes up for her sassy ways.

You may want to celebrate National Puppy Day or National Dog Day and a great way to do that is to bring your pup along for a Family Session! After all, they are part of the family, right? I love including the family pup in our family sessions. Just be sure to inquire regarding locations that allow pets (not all park do).
