Easter Bunny Sessions

Monday, January 24, 2022

It’s almost spring and that means it’s time for the Easter Bunny Sessions! Hippity Hop! The real BUNNIES are back. And they are the most popular, adorable little creatures of the year.

2 DAYS ONLY! Saturday April 2 & Sunday, April 3

Each session is 20 minutes and includes 8-10 hi-res digital images edited to perfection. The full session fee is $365 plus tax. A $100 retainer is required at reservation and the balance is due two weeks prior to the session. The final images are sent via digital download.

The Easter Bunny Sessions are held in my studio in Cranford, NJ. The sessions are best for babies at least 6 months (or sitting up) up to children 10 years old. Each individual session is for siblings only, no shared sessions with friends or relatives.

Reservations

These sessions are very popular – they sell out quickly. Please contact me at jacqueline@jacquelinebellefleur.com to reserve your date and time for your session. Once your time is secured, you’ll receive a link for retainer. Please submit the retainer within 2 hours of reservation or the time slot will be reopened to another client – no exceptions. Because these sessions sell out so quickly, I am unable to hold sessions without payment. Thank you in advance for your understanding. No refunds/no exchanges.

Safety Measures

Due to COVID, I will offer a very limited number of sessions this year. I am fully vaccinated. I am requesting that all children ages 5 plus and adults are vaccinated to enter the studio. The studio windows are open for air flow. We clean and disinfect all props in between sessions. Let’s keep everyone safe.

This Year’s Set

I always like to put together an inspiration board for petite sessions. The backdrop for this year’s Easter Bunny Sessions is NEW and spectacularly spring – pastels of pink, yellow, blue and green. Add a blue seersucker suit for boys or a gorgeous pastel tutu dress from Tutu Du Monde for girls. The set includes lots of flowers and a cute little white bench – perfect for sharing with a little furry bunny!

PLEASE NOTE: We are animal SAFE! Children under a certain age will not hold bunnies, but sit next to them. Some children do not wish to hold them and that’s ok! We pet and kiss them. If you have questions, please inquire. Bunny holding is at our discretion. Please respect our process and our safety for all.

The pictures above are from the 2019 Spring Easter Bunny Sessions. The set and the bunnies are new and different every year. Please reference the inspiration sheet above for this year’s backdrop.

Holy Communion

Monday, April 22, 2024

Holy Communion is such a special milestone so your photographs should be special too. And, there’s nothing better than celebrating your Holy Communion and sharing your photo session with your best friend. How cute are these two?

Communion Sessions may take place any time from April through the fall. Sessions are booked on a day other than the actual communion. Sessions take place all over New Jersey at various locations – parks, churches and even your home.

Communion Sessions with Jacqueline

Communion Sessions are approximately 45 minutes and include (15) hi-resolution digital images. Images are available via an online gallery and digital download. Some locations require a permit and I am happy to share that information with you. Some area parks are better than others at specific times of the seasons. And, don’t rule out your church. It’s sometimes the prettiest option.

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.

Communion Photos

Thursday, April 18, 2024

Now is a great time to reserve your Communion Photos. Don’t miss the opportunity to professionally capture this special milestone. Sessions may take place in the studio or on location throughout New Jersey. The parks and churches are beautiful this time of year with all the spring blooms.

For more Communion Sessions, please visit the blog.

Pinterest is a great resource for all your Communion Session needs including flowers. For girls, I always recommend clients bring a floral bouquet for the girls to hold during the photos. It really does add a nice touch.

To reserve Communion Photos, please send me an email at jacqueline@jacquelinebellefleur.com or simply fill out the contact form on the website. Communion Sessions can be reserved during the spring months and even into the fall. Please inquire regarding adding family members or siblings to the session. A retainer is required to hold a date on the calendar.

Dancers

Tuesday, April 2, 2024

Have you seen the Dancers from UCVTS – Academy for Performing Arts? Well Friday, May 3 at 7pm is your chance! It’s time for the Mainstage at Wilkins Theatre at Kean University. These dancers are so incredibly talented. And, UCTech student Anthony Granados took the images that I captured and transformed them into these amazing promotional posters you see below! I’ll be back at the school capturing the 2025 seniors this May for both the dance department and the theatre department. Cannot wait!

For more information regarding Dancers and Dance Photography, please email me at jacqueline@jacquelinebellefleur.com or contact me at 917.750.0188. I offer sessions for individual dancers as well as Dance Schools. Sessions may be held on location in studio or outdoors.

Happy Easter

Friday, March 29, 2024

Happy Easter Everyone! Or as I love to say during our Easter Sessions, Hoppy Easter! I love the Easter holiday and weekend. It brings Spring and so much new. The buds, blossoms, fresh grass, and warmer sunny days. And you know what that means? It’s time for Spring photos.

This is the first year that I have not offered the Easter Bunny Sessions and it really makes me sad. These sessions are among my very favorite to capture. Nothing like bunny snuggles. If I get enough inquiries and demand, I just may bring them back next year. But for now, enjoy the adorable pics from last year and have a wonderful holiday weekend.

We had the most adorable, sweetest and loving group of bunnies for the sessions. Mr. Buns was the star of the photos and he loved the kids. Hoppy Easter!!

Find more Easter photos here.

I love Janie and Jack for Easter clothing.

Spring Sessions

Tuesday, March 26, 2024

It’s Spring! Do you usually reserve a fall session? Sessions in April, May, and June are a great way of making your setting look fresh and new. So many gorgeous flowers and everything is lush and green. Lavender fields, high grassy fields, tulips, daffodils, cherry blossoms, gorgeous rose gardens, the yellow forest clover and white lilies, cascading wisteria, and more! Early to mid-May is a great time to capture on the beach, before the summer crowds arrive. Don’t fall into the same routine of waiting until fall for photos, you are truly missing out on New Jersey and NYC parks at their most beautiful time of year. Spring sessions are great for children, maternity, communion, seniors/grads, and family.

To inquire regarding Spring Sessions, please contact me at 917-750-0188 or jacqueline@jacquelinebellefleur.com. I am happy to personalize a custom session for your desires and needs.

Great clothing for sessions – Joyfolie, Tutu du Monde, JCrew, Target, and Bloomies. Clothing can make or break a session, so please feel free to discuss your clothing choices with me. Send me pictures and share ideas with me. I am here to help! You can find great clothing at almost any store. And, as always, I am happy to help with your search. I make recommendations to clients all the time. It always starts with one great inspiration piece! I take photos of my family every year – I understand how stressful it can be and it really doesn’t need to be.

For more images, please visit the blog for families, children, communion, seniors/grads, and maternity.
