Hot Cocoa Cup Sessions are a lot of work, but they are so adorable. Your babies are only little once, why not take every possible moment to capture how cute they are!

What to expect at a Hot Cocoa Cup Session, aside from your adorable baby/toddler in a cocoa cup:

•What’s the cut off age? These sessions are perfect for sitters to 4 or 5 years old. We have two difference sized cocoa cups, one for the smaller babies and one for the large toddlers/kids. After 5, it gets a little tricky because of their size, and ability to fit into the cup comfortably.

•What’s in the cup? A mixture of warm water and chocolate milk. Please let me know ahead of time if your child has an allergy and we can adjust our ingredients. We also include giant marshmallows.

•Is it warm in your studio? Yes! We keep the heat cranking during these sessions because it can get chilling and uncomfortable sitting in liquid! We also have towels ready.

•What to bring? Bring a warm change of clothes. A towel or two. Your child’s favorite snack, in case they don’t like marshmallows. (For example, a gingerbread cookie, crackers, etc.) Baby wipes, in case there is drool or food on your child’s face. Expect to be hands on to help things run smoothly!

•What should they wear? You can dress your child in some festive clothes! The best thing to do is have them wear a swim diaper, and a red/white bathing suit, suspenders and a bow tie, fun barrettes for their hair, or even a top hat, or bonnet!

•Do you have props? I do have props available if you would like to use them! I have things like fun headbands, bonnets, etc. (My prop collection is ever growing!)

Hot Cocoa Cup Sessions are a lot of fun for both the parents and the child. We try to make it a good experience, and encourage little ones to splash! They don’t need to look at the camera, I actually prefer them to enjoy the moment and have natural smiles and interact with the marshmallows, and hot cocoa. Which, is just warm liquid. It’s a unique experience that they won’t be able to do forever. Don’t miss out on this, because in the blink of an eye, they’re too big and you’ll miss out. Don’t miss it. Even if you think it’s silly, you’ll look back and be so happy you did it.

Our 2023 sessions came to an end and I am so excited to announce that I will be offering them again in 2024. Currently, I am planning to have them in early November. Save the date, and if you’d like to book early, booking is now open for November 2024.

This March, we welcomed our baby chicks and lop ear bunnies into our studio for Spring Mini Sessions in Galloway! The joy on all of the kids faces was so amazing! I love how these beautiful animals just lit up their faces with joy! Spring truly is a magical time where all things start to grow.

As you know, baby chicks and bunnies do grow up. We are so happy and excited to welcome the new chicks as new family members! BLP will continue to incorporate them into sessions, but will also be enjoying their eggs as well. This exciting new journey as chicken owners is definitely new to us; I can not believe how fast they grow. It felt like in the blink of an eye they started growing more colorful, larger wings and being able to hop around and walk and even run! Of course, my husband is in the process of building an amazing hen house! (Which of course will need to be photo ready! Yes to the cute flower boxes, and YES to the adorable barn door in the front!)

If you are interested in these Spring Mini Sessions in Galloway please let me know!I may be opening up another day for these because I just love them so much! But my little chicks are going to grow fast, so it would be within the week or so.

If you are interested in purchasing chicks or bunnies of your own, I highly recommend reading up on how important it is to take care of them as family pets. There are so many places to purchase these beautiful animals, but keep in mind that they are a HUGE responsibility! One that we are so excited to dive into!
