I am so in love with baby Valentine's Day photos, so I ended up doing two photoshoots this month. The first was a baby Cupid one that you can see here. This one was a little more versatile. I took pictures of my boys, but also my friend's absolutely adorable little girl.
For the backdrop I used this white brick one from Amazon. I loved it for the brick, but when I tried to use the whole thing, the kids kept wrinkling the floor. I think the floor is more meant to work as just part of the background for someone standing where you do not actually see where they touch the floor. I ended up looping the "floor" behind the backdrop and taping it, so that it wasn't in the shot. Then I hung a $3 little heart garland from the Target Dollar Spot.
For the floor, I just used some scrap click-lock style flooring that was left over from when the previous owners redid the bathroom floors. It was perfect, because it was firm enough to allow the kids to walk and twirl, but came apart for relatively easy storage. I might have to look into buying some orphan boxes from home improvement stores if I can get them cheap enough. Then I threw down some fabric rose petals, which Archer enjoyed eating.
Her mom provided the adorable outfit. She was really happy that the tutu was soft and not scratchy like other ones she'd tried (I would not have even thought to consider that, having not gotten to put a baby in a tutu myself). I can't get over her beautiful blue eyes!
I used the same setup, minus the rose petals, for my boys. Unfortunately, I put the garland just a little high and the boys were not feeling very photogenic, so the one good shot I got of both of them doesn't show the garland. I can still know it was meant to be a Valentine's picture, right??
