40th Birthday Celebration

It’s a 40th Birthday Celebration – what a great way to celebrate Mom’s milestone birthday – her own personal photography session with a delicious cake and refreshing, bubbly champagne.  Who says cake smashes are only for one year old babies?  When you celebrate a milestone, make it count!   Moms spend so much time devoting themselves to their children.  I say, take a moment for yourself and celebrate you!  And, Dads, this is a great way of celebrating mom.  It makes such a special gift.

I’m a HUGE fan of rose gold.  So when Mom called and wanted to celebrate her 40th, I was all in.  Gorgeous mom, gorgeous colors.  This was such a fun departure from what I usually do.  The more sparkle the better. She certainly is 40 & FABULOUS!

So, it’s time for Mom’s Milestone Session.  Whether you are 40 & Fabulous, 30 & Flirty, or 50 & Fine, these sessions can be for any age.  They are great for college graduation as well.  For the 2020 season, I’ll be moving these sessions out of the studio to a gorgeous county park.

To inquire about details and pricing or to book your birthday celebration, please contact me at jacqueline@jacquelinebellefleur.com.  These sessions are completely stylized for each client.  If you have colors in mind, I will shop and compose an inspiration board for you.  We work together to make your vision come to life.  I’ll be happy to make clothing vendor recommendations as well.

Regardless of milestone birthday, let’s celebrate wonderful YOU!

Please join me on Facebook here.  On instagram, find me at @jacquelinebellefleurphoto.

The set will include a mauve settee, fresh flowers and of course, the bunnies! For clothing choices, pastel shades of pinks, grays, purples and blues will match best. Please feel free to contact me with clothing questions and photos, I am here to help. Once a reservation is made, I am happy to pass along my favorite vendors and even best rental companies for girls dresses. I do have rabbit ears and tails for younger babies (6-18 months).

Please note: It is imperative that the bunnies are always safe. Kids under a certain age will only be able to pet the bunnies (with assistance), not hold them. Please respect our process and our safety concerns.
