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.

Newborn Baby Sessions

Newborn Baby Sessions are precious!  This little one’s gallery is filled with beautiful blues and creams to match his nursery.  And, he might have spent a little time floating on clouds and riding an elephant trunk 🙂   I created this special composite fine art piece with the elephant just for the parents.  Each client receives a special composite chosen just for them based on colors and nursery theme.

Newborns with Jacqueline

Custom newborn photography is like no other type of photography. It is very special and requires an investment of trust in the person that will be working with your precious new baby. Your photos will be cherished memories forever and heirlooms to future generations.

Why Jacqueline?

Value and quality are two of the most important things to me and my photography business. I’ve been honing my craft and capturing newborns for over 11 years. I take great pride and care in capturing and creating babies as art. My goal is to provide each client with a beautiful gallery that will become worthy of premium gallery wrapped canvases for walls and beautiful coffee table books that will adorn living space for years to come. These captures will become the gifts the grandparents are waiting for. That’s why I provide a substantial gallery of 25 images. Clients receive 8-10 poses with 2 backdrops as well as buckets and baskets, parent photos, and a special composite fine art piece selected just for baby.

The actual session is only the beginning of creating precious memories. After your session I will spend an extensive amount of time selecting and editing the best images for you.

Session Details

Newborn sessions take place in my studio in Cranford, NJ. Sessions are scheduled within the first 7-10 days of life. Scheduling during your pregnancy is preferred as my schedule fills months in advance. Babies rarely arrive on their due date, so once baby arrives, we adjust your session date should we need to. If baby has already arrived, please inquire regarding session availability. It is VERY important to ensure the ideal timeframe. During the 7-10 day window the baby will be super sleepy making the session more successful.  See more info below.

Investment

Newborn session prices are set to ensure that I deliver a creative, custom, and specialized experience with the very best customer service for each of my clients. The total newborn session and product investment is $1250 plus tax. This fee includes the photographer’s time and talent to capture 25 final hi-resolution, beautifully edited images. Your files will be presented to you in an online gallery where you may download your images. You may add additional products, all produced from the best high-quality labs.

Parent captures are included in my newborn session. There is an additional fee to include siblings. I do not offer family photos in the studio at this time.

Once a session date is mutually agreed upon, a retainer of $200 plus tax is due upon booking to reserve your date. A payment link will be provided. I am willing to hold your scheduled date for 24 hours, but your date will not be guaranteed until your retainer is paid. The remainder of the fee ($1050 plus tax) is due on the day of your session.

Babies are love

Babies are LOVE.  This soft, cushy heart seemed like the perfect setting for this little babe – so loved by his big brother and parents.

The newborn baby stage is fleeting.  That’s why capturing newborn babies between the ages of 7-10 days is so important.  I capture newborns while they are still sleeping well and don’t mind all those sweet little positions.  I focus on little faces, hands, toes, and even their hair.  All the little pieces you want to remember.     Babies are Love - Newborn Baby Photographer - Jacqueline Belle Fleur Photography

Unicorn Cake Smash

This Unicorn Cake Smash has me feeling happy!  Just like this little one!  What a joy to capture her.  Happy First Birthday beautiful girl!  And Mom even made her little sweater for her session.

Mom requested unicorns and peach and pink flowers.  This gorgeous hand-painted unicorn drop was perfect.

For more information regarding 1st Birthday Cake Smashes, please see below.

About the 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.

Reserving your session

Lavender Field Sessions

Lavender Field Sessions

It’s all about sisters and sibling love in the Lavender Fields.  The lavender fields are perhaps my favorite setting.  The fields are in bloom for such a very short time, it’s a thrill to catch them at peak with two beautiful sisters.  And, the fields are a treat for the eyes and the nose.  They smell as beautiful as they look.  Did I mention the adorable goats and chickens?

Reserving a Session

The lavender blooms in June and July.  Planning ahead is a definite!  For more information regarding 2022 Lavender Sessions or to reserve a session, please 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.

The girls’ dresses and shoes are from Joyfolie.

Sibling Photo Sessions

Sibling photo sessions are adorable, adorable, adorable!  I captured two of the sweetest little boys with the cutest yellow vintage car – a Karmann Ghia.  What a fun session.  And, a what a great way to kick off the summer season.  The Karmann Ghia sessions were part of the Mommy & Me Sessions for Spring/Summer 2021.  So sorry you missed it!  Plan ahead for 2022!
