Communion Session

Wednesday, May 31, 2023

Natalie’s Communion Session is so beautiful! I love capturing communion in the studio and these two drops are perfect for a Communion Session. Sometimes April weather decides not to cooperate, so we move indoors to the studio.

About First Communion Photo Sessions

I offer Communion sessions at pre-scouted locations throughout New Jersey during the spring, summer, and fall. 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.

Communion Photographer – 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. To inquire about available dates, please email me at jacqueline@jacquelinebellefleur.com. A retainer is required at time of reservation to hold your date. 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.

Communion galleries may be viewed here.

About Jacqueline

I am so proud to say that 2023 marks by 13^thAnniversary as a small business in New Jersey. My specialty is modern portraiture for newborns, maternity, family and children (including babies, communion, cake smashes, and high school seniors) and I capture sessions throughout New Jersey, NYC or in my studio in Cranford, NJ. Studio Sessions are for newborns, babies, small children, and fine art portraiture for older children/teens.

As a small business for over a decade, I have been honing my craft while capturing life, landscape and stage photography for over 35 years. This is not my “hustle” or hobby. It’s so much more. It’s my livelihood and my labor of love. I pride myself in providing my clients with the best quality images, products, and service. I understand the importance of memories and skillfully capturing them.

My captures have graced newsprint, magazines, online social media and television shows such as US Weekly (multiple times), BET, The New York Times, The Pittsburgh Post Gazette, The Wendy Williams Show, and USA Network on The Cromarties among many others. Recent Commercial works also includes the branding/advertising campaign for The Intrepid Museum in NYC.

First Communion

The First Communion is a special milestone so let’s make the first communion session special too. The flowers are blooming, the weather is warmer, and the parks are beautifully green. How adorable is this young man in this beautiful park?! I capture at a number of local parks throughout New Jersey.

Lavender Photos

Tuesday, April 25, 2023

It’s time to plan your Lavender Photos in the Lavender fields. What a stunning setting! There’s nothing else like it. The lavender only blooms for 2-3 weeks in mid-June, so it’s best to plan your session now. Lavender Photos are great for Family, Mommy & Me, Child, Communion, Birthday, or Special Occasion Sessions. They are so gorgeous, you really don’t need a reason. Let’s make memories!

Reserving a Session

The lavender blooms beginning in mid-June and lasts for 2-3 weeks. Planning ahead is a definite! For more information regarding 2023 Lavender Photos or to reserve a session, please contact me at jacqueline@jacquelinebellefleur.com.

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.
