Spring and Summer Communion Sessions are now available for reservation.
Tulips, daffodils, cherry blossoms, and the colorful rose gardens of early summer will be blooming before we know it. I cannot wait. It’s such a beautiful time of year. Just perfect for capturing your child’s Communion pictures. It’s not surprising that the most popular months to capture are April, May and June.
I offer Communion sessions at pre-scouted locations throughout New Jersey. I capture at numerous gorgeous NJ Arboretums (permit fees required and are additional) as well as free parks. Locations depend upon your preferences. We work together to find you the perfect location for you.
The session is exclusive just for your child. Each personalized session is approximately 30-45 minutes and includes 10-12 hi-res beautifully edited fine art images. The session is $350 plus tax. You are welcome to bring a bouquet, a bible, rosary beads and any other items you would like to include. There is an additional fee to add family members, please inquire.
Session Reservations
I offer a limited number of communion sessions throughout the spring and summer months. So, be sure to book your session early. In case of inclement weather, we simply reschedule for another day. The full session fee is required at time of reservation to hold your date. For available dates, please email me at jacqueline@jacquelinebellefleur.com. All session payments may be made at jacquelinebellefleurphotography.bigcartel.com.
Please note, some parks are busier on the weekends, so please consider weeknights when the parks are less crowded.
I am strictly following all COVID safety precautions – all clients are asked to wear masks on-location. And, with the lenses I use, I am able to stay a safe distance from clients.
For information on available sessions, please visit investment. Communion galleries may be viewed here.

Now reserving Lavender Field Sessions for early summer 2021. This lavender field is so stunning and the season for lavender is just too short. Depending upon weather, it lasts just two to four weeks. Don’t miss it! Lavender Sessions are perfect for children, family, and Mommy & Me Sessions.
This session is a photographer’s dream. A stunning girl with a gorgeous dress, two adorable puppies and an abundance of lavender.
I’ve been capturing Isabella for 8 years along with sweet Mushy. In June, adorable Muffin arrived (Covid puppy!). I’m so happy we have always included Mushy in our sessions. She sadly and very unexpectedly passed away not long after these photos were taken. RIP sweet girl. It crushed me. I’ve only known Isabella and Mushy together. Thankfully mom will have 8 years of professional captures to remind her of their bond together. Now, new memories will begin with little Muffin.

Session Information
I capture children and families 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. Some clients like more casual sessions and some like them more formal. It’s completely up to you. If you don’t have any ideas in mind, we work together to find the spot for you. I love stylized and themed sessions – so if you have an idea in mind, please share, I am sure we can make it happen. 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. My family sessions are only for immediate family (sorry, no groups, cousins, grandparents, etc).
Sessions take place on location from January-November (shooting in the snow is absolutely magical!). Outdoor sessions are only rescheduled due to rain so please keep time of year, temperatures and your children’s ages in mind when scheduling your date (please be flexible ~ rain dates are scheduled within 2 weeks and almost always need to be scheduled on a weeknight). During the spring and fall, my schedule fills very quickly. Most of my sessions are held 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.
It’s never too early to start planning your Family Sessions for 2021. Fall is the most popular time and dates fill up quickly.
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.

What a photographer’s dream. Alivia, you are perfection. I had so much fun capturing this beautiful girl. We captured Alivia at two different locations giving her an opportunity to show off her edgy style as well as her soft feminine side. My biggest reward was when she looked at the pics in my camera and said “I cannot believe that’s me!” I truly hope she loves the captures as much as I do. Nothing is better than a combination of teen sass and smiles.
Time flies by so quickly. As moms, we want to savor every minute. Capturing these milestone birthdays is a special way of stopping time. These captures need to be published in a book and placed on her parent’s coffee table until the end of time. Trust me when I say, that book will be looked at over and over again. She’ll be 18, then 21 before you know it.
Sweet 16 Photos may take place any time of year (even in the snow). Sessions are held on location throughout New Jersey and even in New York City. From factories, to hip NJ shore towns, to glorious Arboretums, I have a list of locations that will please any teen. Choosing clothing is the hardest part. I am here to help. For more information on booking a special milestone birthday or even your senior’s graduation photos, please contact me at jacqueline@jacquelinebellefleur.com. I am happy to walk you through all the many options and packages.
