Child Photography in the Cherry Blossoms

Nothing like child photography in the cherry blossoms. We celebrated Isabella’s 4th birthday in the Cherry Blossoms at Branch Brook Park at sunset with her BFF, her little dog Mushy. Isabella is such a doll, she truly had me at hello at her newborn session 4 years ago. And, can we talk about the miles of gorgeous curls? They go on for days :). And when you have a beautiful little girl, we cannot leave out her precious little dog. I love the love between these two. I truly feel so blessed and honored to have captured her (and her dog) all these years. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom at Branch Brook Park – it was absolutely breathtaking.

What to wear

I’m not going to lie, this is the hardest part of a session. What to wear? Sessions are all about finding the right clothing and Mom found the perfect Dollcake Vintage dress for the cherry blossoms. I tell all my clients…if you don’t like what you are wearing, you won’t like your photos. Great clothing coordination = great photos. Invest in your clothing. I am so happy to assist my clients with shopping – finding the right vendors for your style – after all, who doesn’t like shopping? I have many resources for clients – including rentals of some of these gorgeous dresses for girls.

Location

I love New Jersey. The landscape is so beautifully diverse. It makes my job such a joy because each session is so unique. If you are interested in a specific landscape, please inquire. I love making a vision a reality. I am endlessly scouting new locations throughout this gorgeous State. From the beach, to urban locations to farm country and parks and flower gardens.

Now Booking Communion Sessions Spring 2017

Tuesday, March 7, 2017

Communion Sessions

Communion Sessions are now open and booking for April, May and June. Sessions at Jacqueline Belle Fleur Photography are portraiture sessions that are all about your little.

What a gorgeous evening for Francesca’s session (and the park all to ourselves – a bonus!). She is such a beauty – it’s been so amazing watching her grow and mature into this beautiful little lady. We even let her hair down at the end of the session so she could spin in her gorgeous dress and have a little more fun.

Please inquire regarding Studio Communion Sessions.

Francesca – First Communion Session

Communion Sessions at Jacqueline Belle Fleur Photography

Communion sessions take place at pre-scouted parks throughout New Jersey depending upon your location. Each session is exclusive just for your child. My communion sessions are 45 minutes and include 15 hi-res images in color. I also include lo-res for the web so you may share on social media. All files are sent via digital transfer. The session is $325 plus tax.

Clients may bring a bouquet, a bible, rosary beads and any other items desired for use in captures. For girls, I do have a faux flower bouquet (white and peach roses) that clients are welcome to use. And, if the location allows, I bring a beautiful beige/gold chair and/or the gold and cream vintage velvet chaise for a few of the captures as well.

I offer a limited number of communion sessions in late April, May and June. In case of inclement weather, I simply work with clients to reschedule for another day.

1st Birthday Cake Smash for Baby Alex

Monday, March 6, 2017

1st Birthday Cake Smash for Baby Alex

The 1st Birthday Cake Smash for Baby Alex was so fun and so cute – love the combination of aqua and purple. Mom wanted something a little more modern and I have to say, I loved it. I mean, a chevon cake? How fashion forward! I think Alex approved.

Not sure these little ones know just how lucky they are to have a cake from Kimmy’s Cakes all to themselves! I just consider myself lucky if I get the few crumbs that land on my camera. I wasn’t even a cake girl until I met Kimmy – yep, that is just how good these cakes are.

Looking for your own cake smash? Read the info below – I love creating cake smashes for each individual client.

Alex’s 1st Birthday Cake Smash

1st Birthday Cake Smash Photos

This is one of my favorite moments to capture! A sweet little one, a sweet cake, and a whole lot of fun watching someone take his/her first BIG MESSY, little bite of cake.

The 1st Birthday Cake Smash takes place in my Cranford, NJ studio. The fee includes the session fee (photographer’s time and talent to capture 40-50 fully-edited final images), the base digital package ~ The Petal Collection (all digital files on usb drive). I also provide a beautiful, personalized cake from Kimmy’s Cakes, and carefully and personally selected props such as handmade swags, balloons and paper flowers to match your backdrop selection. Cake Smashes are reserved at 11 or 12 months of age.

Rapunzel and Maximus | Child and Pony Photos

Friday, March 3, 2017

Rapunzel and Maximus

OK, almost – it’s Bella and Remy.

Child and Pony Photos

This little beauty really wanted photos with a pony and specifically asked us for a white pony to go with her Rapunzel dress. Makes perfect sense. She looks just like Rapunzel, so why not want a Maximus????? And what timing, the fields were covered in beautiful little yellow flowers. Sometimes it just all falls together so beautifully.

I love when clients call with specific requests for Equine sessions. I am thrilled to find a way to make it happen. Horses are so beautiful and I love incorporating them into sessions. A special thank you to the Ashrafi Family at Hidden Brook Farm in Bedminster for working with us. We had some very sweet unexpected moments.

Child Photography Sessions at Jacqueline Belle Fleur Photography

Capturing children and families is a passion and a privilege. I am honored to create lasting memories for my clients showcasing not only outward beauty, but truly capturing the raw inside spirit and significance of each individual as well as all those sweet and loving family interactions.

My child and family session fee includes the photographer’s time and talent to capture 40 final images as well as The Petal Collection ~ all your hi-res digital images on usb drive. You may upgrade your package or add additional products. The pricing and product guide is available for your review.

I love stylized and themed sessions – so if you have an idea in mind, please share, I am sure we can make it happen!

During the 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. Please inquire for avails.

If you are ready to book your session or have further questions, simply send an email to jacqueline@jacquelinebellefleur.com.
