Holiday Photos

Monday, December 20, 2021

Holiday Photos bring out the sibling LOVE. These two adorable sisters make me smile! The Vintage VW Beetle Holiday Sessions were the perfect setting for these two girls to have some fun together. Exactly what I was hoping when I created this set – FUN!

The set includes lots of green and red wrapped gifts with satin bows on the roof and fresh greens and a wreath flown in all the way from Washington State.

If you missed these sessions this year, be sure to join me next year. The Holiday Photos also included the Woodland Trees Holiday Sessions. Email me at jacqueline@jacquelinebellefleur.com to be added to the email list for holiday session announcements for 2022.

About Jacqueline

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.”

Holiday Sessions

Monday, December 6, 2021

Holiday Sessions bring me JOY!

Holiday Sessions are a great time to capture the entire family. And, you know how I feel about family sessions! They are a MUST!

Holiday is all about FAMILY and family is what we cherish the most during the holidays. We all focus on taking holiday pictures of our children, but never realize how important it is to jump in those pictures as parents. FAMILY, FAMILY, FAMILY. FAMILY is EVERYTHING.

Reservations

During the fall, I offer full family sessions and holiday themed family sessions. I always recommend reserving your family sessions (non-holiday themed) in June or July for fall dates. The dates fill up quickly! In late August or early September, I announce a limited number of holiday sessions for the year. Please email me at jacqueline@jacquelinebellefleur.com to add your name to my email list for announcements. I am happy to talk you through what session will best fit your family.

This gorgeous family joined me for the 2021 Woodland Trees Holiday Sessions. I made this set with a little help from the hubby! I was thrilled to find these florals in southern Georgia and even happier that they made the transport to NJ in one piece! Many who know me know that I make almost all of my sets from scratch. I spend many hours sourcing materials from all over the US and many more hours crafting.

Family Holiday Photos

Wednesday, December 1, 2021

Family Holiday Photos are SO MUCH FUN! Play with each other and love each other and allow me to capture it. These are the memories that mean the most. The tree farm was the perfect setting for this full family session just prior to the holidays. And, we couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful sunny afternoon.

During the fall, I offer a number of full family sessions as well as holiday themed family sessions. I always recommend at least alternating years between the two types of sessions. If you want to adorn your walls with family photos (which I highly encourage), you will want non-themed photos. For me personally, I capture family photos every year and make coffee table books. I want my daughter to have wonderful memories of us all together. And, of course, I always capture of few of her during the holiday sessions for our holiday cards.

To view the previous Holiday Sessions, please visit the blog here.

Family Holiday Photos and Reservations begin as early as June. Yes, June! Email me at jacqueline@jacquelinebellefleur.com for more information and to reserve your date.

Fall Family Photos

Fall Family Photos

Fall Family Photos are EVERYTHING. Family is so beautiful. Family is LOVE. The time is NOW to capture it. As a Mom, I have often wanted to just freeze time with my girl. A family session is the perfect way to make that happen. Some of my favorite moments have come from our personal family photo sessions and they are now captured in coffee table books in my living room.

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.

Clothing can make all the difference with photo sessions! Sometimes it’s as easy as finding your favorite dress in your closet or having a great excuse to go shopping! Great places to start are JCrew, Anthropologie and Bloomingdales just to name a few. Be sure to request my Session Info Guide once you reserve your family session. I am here to help every step of the way.
