Family Holiday Photos

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.

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.

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.

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.

Fall Family Photos

Fall Family Photos are among my favorite sessions to capture.  Lots of LOVE, loads of FUN, and ADORABLE children.  These two little sweeties had so much fun with Mom and Dad – that’s the way it should be – and it showed.  I’m so blessed to capture it.  I love my job.

Fall is a great time for your session.  The weather is warm and the sunsets are gorgeous.  September and October are the best months.  Reserving your session prior to the weather getting cold is smart – don’t wait for November!  BRRRRRR!  We always struggle with little ones when they get too cold.  We had gorgeous warm weather this day and it shows.  Everyone was comfortable and having a great time!  And, we even took a few captures to use for the holiday!

Sweet 16!

It ‘s a Sweet 16 Photo Session!  Happy Birthday Gabi!  I had so much fun with these four lovely ladies!  Gabi’s mom gifted her a photo session for her very special birthday and invited her best friends along.  What a great idea!  I’m sure Gabi and the girls will cherish these captures with each other for a lifetime.

Our kids grow so fast, capture every minute while you can!  To arrange your teen’s photo session, contact me at jacqueline@jacquelinebellefleur.com.

About Jacqueline

I am so proud to say that 2021 marks by 11thAnniversary 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.

 

Family Equine Session

The Family Equine Session is my absolute FAVORITE family session EVER!  Not gonna lie.  And, it sometimes helps when it’s your own family.  Bottom line, if you have a horse, I will travel!

We started this session with my gorgeous niece and her puppy Tobey, added my sister, her husband and Ellie (their golden retriever), and then added big man Honneur, her stunning KWPN gelding.  And, let us not forget the star of the evening, the barn’s corgi, Yoda – professional photobomber extraordinaire.  You just cannot make this stuff up folks.  What an amazing session with some very memorable moments and a bundle of laughs.  Driving 2.5 hours to the barn in CT was sooooo worth it!  Equine Family Sessions Equine Family Sessions Equine Family Sessions Equine Family Sessions Equine Family Sessions Fall Family Sessions
