Fall Family Photos – 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.

Reservations

September is the most overlooked month of the year!  The gardens are at peak and the weather is beautiful.  Weekday sessions are held just prior to sunset making after school sessions completely doable.  Most of the locations are much more quiet on weekdays too.

For more information or to reserve a Fall Family Session, please email me at jacqueline@jacquelinebellefleur.com.  I am happy to make recommendations that will best fit your family regarding dates, locations, and even clothing choices.

Family Love

Family Love.  Capture it!  Family Sessions are my absolute favorite sessions.  Every session is so unique.  I’ve been capturing this family for 10 years.  It’s been such a pleasure.  We capture in different locations every year.  Some years are more casual, some more formal. But Mom never misses a year.  She is capturing it all.  And, I can hardly blame her.  I do the same with my daughter.

Family Photography

Get in the photos with your babes!  Family Photography is a must.  Capture happy moments with your little (or grown up) ones.  I always want to freeze time.  My baby is growing so fast – she’s almost sixteen.  I’m in disbelief.  And, I am so overjoyed that I actually captured every year of her childhood in professional photos.   Family albums and prints fill my home with all of those wonderful moments we caught.  And, there’s a great story that goes along with every single one.  We have had so many laughs looking at them.

Holiday Portraits

This is the first time in 13 years that I am offering Family Holiday Portraits in the studio.  In years past, I have always captured families outdoors on location.   I must say, I am obsessed with being able to offer these Holiday in Red sessions.  I LOVE RED at Christmas.  Don’t worry, if you missed them this year, there’s aways 2024!  Be sure to sign up for the email list so you receive all the announcements.  And, how adorable are these two?! Two of my favorite littles!

I offer Holiday Portraits and Sessions during the fall months.  I capture full sessions – Family Sessions (30+ images in your gallery)  and also smaller petite sessions – Holiday Sessions (10-12 images in your gallery).  Family Sessions are held throughout this beautiful State of New Jersey and may also be held in NYC (travel fees apply).

To view more Holiday Portraits, please visit the Holiday page on the blog.  For more information, please feel free to contact me at jacqueline@jacquelinebellefleur.com or call 917-750-0188.

This gorgeous red dress is from Tutu du Monde.

Senior Photos

There’s nothing like Senior Photos in Asbury Park!  How gorgeous is Annabelle?!  Asbury Park is the perfect location for an urban setting.  So much to capture – murals, historic landmarks, and the boardwalk.  Senior year is the culmination of all the milestones, so do not miss capturing this special year with a one-of-a-kind senior session.       Senior Photos Jacqueline Belle Fleur Photography Senior Photos Jacqueline Belle Fleur Photography Senior Photos Jacqueline Belle Fleur Photography Senior Photos Jacqueline Belle Fleur Photography

Where?

I capture seniors 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. I also offer sessions in New York City. Some clients like more casual sessions and some like more formal. It’s completely up to you and your senior. What fits his/her personality best? If you don’t have any ideas in mind, we work together to find the best location for you. 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.

When?

All year. I capture sessions on location from January-November (shooting in the snow is absolutely magical!). Outdoor sessions are only rescheduled due to rain. Please be flexible ~ rain dates are scheduled within 2 weeks and are almost always scheduled on a weeknight. During the spring and fall, my schedule fills very quickly. Most of my sessions take place 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.

Style

Seniors have a very distinct individual style. It’s imporant to select the right clothing for the session in order to capture each senior’s true personality. Some clothing and colors capture better than others. I offer a consultation with each senior and parent(s) prior to the session to review and recomend the best clothing choices.

Senior Session Rates & Reservations

For rates and reservation information or if you have further questions, simply send an email to jacqueline@jacquelinebellefleur.com or call 917-750-0188. Once a session date is mutually agreed upon, a $200 plus tax retainer is due upon booking to reserve your date. The remainder of the session balance is due the day of the session.
