A wonderful photographer created the Hot Cocoa Sessions, and it broke the internet! With so much demand for it, I decided to try them myself! I am excited to announce that Bokeh Love Photography will be offering Hot Cocoa Mini Sessions in Galloway, NJ. Rain or shine, the weather will not matter! You will be safe in my studio and you will get to have your child photographed in a big cup of cocoa!

These mini sessions are $180 which includes 5 digital images of your choice from an online proofing gallery. You will be able to purchase the entire gallery for $99 as well. Click here to book your session!

What will be in the cup?

The hot cocoa is a mixture of warm water and hot cocoa mix. I have two different sized cups so I can accommodate sitters (babies who can sit on their own) up to 3 or 4 years of age.

---

What should my child wear?

Your child should wear a diaper cover and bathing suit. The reason for this is because we want them to look adorable in a super cute outfit (I recommend a red/white bathing suit!) but also for their safety. You don’t want them to actually bathe in the Cocoa, so covering them up will prevent any infections. Your child’s safety is our number one priority! Here is an adorable outfit from Amazon!

---

Will the cup be cleaned between sessions?

Yes! Between sessions the cup will be dumped & sanitized. A new batch of warm cocoa will be made for the next client.  Keeping things clean and sanitized is very important to us to protect you, especially during COVID! We will also be wearing masks during your session and there will be a buffer between your session and the next, to allow for you to clean up and leave before the next client arrives.

I am very excited to be able to offer these Hot Cocoa Mini Sessions in Galloway, NJ and I am so excited to show you the set up! The setting will be a country kitchen with gingerbread men/women, and some other fun things for your little to look at. And of course we will have GIANT marshmallows!

Take a look at the setup below:

It’s finally here! The year that your son or daughter goes to Pre-School! What ever emotions you’re feeling, they’re justified, and I won’t judge! Your baby is growing up, and gaining so much independence. Be proud of them, smile, and let them go! It’s a big step to watch them grow into their own little personality. But, what about Pre School Portraits? Will they be good enough, will your child smile, will they give them enough time to truly capture that personality that they’re growing into so fast? That’s where I come in! I offer Pre School Portraits in Galloway right in my studio. Your session will last up to 1 hour, and no that does not mean we will be photographing for that whole hour, it simple means I will allow your child the opportunity to laugh, giggle, shake their silly’s out and be themselves!

Of course we have props, because what child doesn’t like a prop? One of our best props is a vintage desk! It’s the perfect size for your little one, and we place old books around it, as well as a fresh bag of apples for your child to play with, toss around, and even balance on his or her head! It’s a lot of fun for both the kids and the parents!

How we are protecting everyone with Covid: We sanitize our studio before and after each session, wear masks, have 2 sanitizing stations, and only book one full studio session per day, unless we are having mini sessions.

South Jersey Christmas Mini Sessions are here and I could not be more excited to share them with you! Even though it is still November, everyone is thinking about Christmas! (And other holidays of course). I celebrate Christmas, so that is why I offer Christmas Mini Sessions, and since I am located in Galloway, they are named, South Jersey Christmas Mini Sessions! haha. In addition to Christmas sessions, I also offer a substitute background that features blue snowflakes! This is perfect if you don’t celebrate Christmas, or if red just isn’t your color.

Let’s talk props!
I love props! Your littles will have tons to play with to be happy during their session. The set is interactive, which means they will be able to touch the fake snow, ride on the sleds, sit in the sleigh. If you are opting to have the snow flake them, there will be a menorah, dreidel, snow balls, etc to play with, or just keep on display. As always, feel free to bring props of your own!

Details:
South Jersey Christmas Mini Sessions are 15 minute sessions that include 3 digital images of your choice through an online proofing gallery. You will of course be able to purchase more with a special gallery upgrade price! That price is an additional purchase from the session price. This would also allow you to have printing rights to your digitals, which means you can print your images where ever you would like. I can however only guarantee the print quality if you purchase directly through my lab, and it is calibrated with my computer and the way I edit. The pricing that you find in my online proofing gallery is slightly higher, the reason for that is because you are getting a professional finished heirloom product.

Products:
This year I am offering the pre-purchase of Christmas/Holiday cards and ceramic ornaments! Get your cards sent out easily this year, by having custom cards done early with beautiful styles to choose from. The ornaments are perfect for your own tree or as a gift for your loved ones!

 

Who are studio sessions for?
Studio session are ideal for children ages 10 and under. The set is rather small and will not fit a family very easily. It is also very limited in what we can do pose wise. They work amazingly well for the littles and they are in a controlled environment away from harsh weather conditions like rain, sleet and real snow!

Who are on location sessions for?
On location sessions are perfect for small and large families alike! They are held at locations that are easily accessible, and families can move around without feeling like they will “step out of frame”. They are both lifestyle and poses, so feel free to laugh, hug, smile, hold hands, and even pose for the camera!

I love everything! How do I book?
I love that you are excited, and so am I! Booking your session is simple for these South Jersey Christmas Mini Sessions! I have set up an easy booking page where you can easily click the link, select your session type (studio or on location) and follow the prompts to fill out your information, contract and make your payment. If you have any questions along the way, please just reach out to me via my email: lauren@bokehlovephotography.net

Fall is for pumpkins, and super cute studio portraits in Galloway, NJ with your littles!

I love sitting my kids in front of a cute set up and letting them just be themselves. It’s so important to capture their real personalities so when I look back, I can remember who they were that year. Were they happy or sad? Were they thoughtful and kind? A portrait can tell so much more than just a beautiful face. (And yes, of course ALL of our babies are beautiful) but I want to remember them for their sillies and the smiles and I love allowing them to have direction of their own. Want to grab that pillow? Go for it! Want to hug that bucket or toss a pumpkin, totally fine with me! I want your kids to enjoy this experience and go home talking all day about how much fun it was to have their studio portraits in Galloway, NJ at Bokeh Love Photography!

If you are located near the Atlantic County area (South Jersey) and want to schedule your little one’s fall studio portraits in Galloway, NJ then reach out to me and let’s schedule a time to come in! Right now I have a few set ups for Fall and Halloween. Soon, I will have Christmas and Holiday set up’s in studio as well! I can’t WAIT to meet you and your littles!
