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.
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.

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.
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.

This maternity photographer is sooo happy to be capturing beautiful mamas in beautiful dresses. This mama is STUNNING! And, if you want to know why I stress capturing during the month of September? The NJ parks are at peak and lush with greens and florals. Whether you are booking a maternity session or a family session, it’s so worth making the time in your September schedule.
Maternity Session
There is nothing more gorgeous than expecting mamas and I love capturing them! This moment is so special. A stunning capture of mama-to-be is such a sweet way to begin your newborn baby album. Let’s capture your new joy from the very beginning.
A mother’s joy begins when new life is stirring inside…when a tiny heartbeat is heard for the very first time, and a playful kick reminds her that she is never alone.
Details
The maternity session is typically held between 7 and 8 months or when you feel most comfortable. A fuller belly always captures better. The session is approximately 45 minutes. Once the maternity session is booked, I am happy to discuss your style, walk you through the best rental companies for dresses, as well as what I recommend for you to bring. We discuss hair, make-up, and manicures too.
Where?
Maternity sessions are held on-location, all year long. Locations are chosen based on the time of year and the beauty of the location. Some locations capture better during specific seasons. There are a number of area parks that charge permit fees. Most permits range in price from $65-200 per hour. My fee does not include permits. I am, however, happy to secure the permits. There are nice locations that are free as well. In the event of inclement weather, we simply reschedule as close to your original date as possible. Please keep in mind that rescheduled sessions almost always need to take place on a weeknight, so please be flexible. All sessions take place 2 hours prior to sunset for optimal lighting.
Investment
The maternity session fee is $495 (plus tax) and includes 15 hi-res images via digital transfer. Travel fees apply for locations outside of a 20 minute radius of Cranford.
Reservations
If you are ready to book your maternity session or 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 retainer of $200 plus tax is due upon booking to reserve your date. A link for payment will be provided. I am willing to hold your scheduled date for 48 hours, but your date will not be guaranteed until your retainer is paid in full. The remainder of the fee is due on the day of your session.

Yes, I capture Dance Photography and I love it! Here’s a sneak peek of my photo session with UCVTS – Academy for Performing Arts with the Senior Dance Majors. WOW – she’s stunning.

It’s National Daughters Day. I love you to the MOON and BACK my girl! Here are some of my favorite captures of my girl. I wish I took more! Now that she is getting older (sophomore in High School – yikes), she is a little less willing to be my muse. So sad. So Moms, get those photos while you can! Reserve your session today!
Child & 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 Child and/or 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.
