Be My Valentine Baby Photo Shoot Ideas 2013

Its already that time of year again where I start conjuring up images in my mind (err...I mean...scouring Pinterest) for Valentines themed photo shoot ideas. Most of these images would be easy to re-create and add your own touch to. Or you can save the links and show them to your prospective photographers. Unable to locate original source for this photo.

How adorable is this for a sibling photo shoot? If you were doing this yourself, the only expense would be the ballons, the bucket (which you could find at Wal-Mart) and a piece of paper for your sign. Link.

Here is an equally cute yet super budget friendly idea. Put on your fav red lipstick and give your little cuties some kisses. This would make a cute Valentines Day card for family and friends. Link.

Super cute and easy to recreate, you can use this theme for either a baby boy or girl. I found this one on Pinterest but was not able to locate its original source.

Don't want to do the typical pink hearts and red kisses? Hang up a sheet and make a burlap or paper bag banner with the word of your choice on it. It makes for a cute non-traditional themed Valentines photo. Link

Experimenting With Light...

Some might find stray rays of light in their photos to be cumbersome but I find them soothing. I love experimenting around with natural sunlight and how it hits objects in photos from different directions.

The rays of a setting sun bring a certain dimension to photos that I find relaxing and captivating.

I like to think that as the sun sets its rays are assuring us that it will indeed be back tomorrow... bright and full of light once more.

A Pinterest Story: Ode to the Pumpkin

 October is the spotlight month for pumpkins. Any other time of the year and they are just a large orange-y fleshed fruit with an unsightly rind. But 3 months before Christmas, the Pumpkin takes on a whole new meaning. They shine, glisten, sparkle, spook and conjure up the imagination of adults and children alike. Rows upon rows of pumpkins in every shape and size take a hold of October and claim it their time to dress up and take charge.

 The spray painted pumpkins (doubles as a house marker).

 The Initials (glowing).

 The Art Deco.

 The Glam.

 The Bedazzled and Bejeweled.

The Preppy.

The Apartment Complex.

The Sparkles (doubles as a centerpiece).

 And last but certainly not least the Au Naturale.

So their it was...the Ode to the Pumpkin. Thank you Pinterest for allowing the pumpkin its rightful spotlight (all pictures taken from Pinterest).
