In a delightful twist on Valentine’s Day, photographer Lisa Hartman, known for her work with maternity and family portraits, has gained attention for her innovative photoshoot featuring babies styled as a box of chocolates. This charming concept has drawn comparisons to the iconic Anne Geddes, who famously transformed infants into whimsical scenes.
Hartman’s inspiration struck when she gifted her young daughter a box of chocolates for Valentine’s Day. She recalled, “My little one was so excited, jumping around and exclaiming about the candy inside. It was just too cute!” This memory sparked the idea for her life-sized chocolate box, leading to a casting call for babies who could stay still for their moment in the spotlight. She received an overwhelming 85 responses, ultimately narrowing it down to 13 adorable little models.
However, capturing the perfect shot was no easy feat. Hartman shared with PopSugar, “I wanted everyone to have a blast without any pressure. I imagined it as one big playdate.” The reality, as it turns out, was a mix of delightful chaos—parents waving to grab their children’s attention, some little ones crying, and a few getting a little too close to the real Hershey’s Kisses scattered around the set.
“They were all fine for the first five minutes,” Hartman laughed. “After that, chaos ensued! One baby started crying, and before we knew it, we had a symphony of wails.” Amidst the laughter and a few tears, the shoot was a heartwarming success.
Looking ahead, Hartman hinted at more seasonal baby-themed shoots in the future. “What could be cuter than a box filled with babies on Valentine’s Day? I’m excited to plan something magical for the upcoming holiday season!” she expressed on social media.
