The Memories Captured Project: Easy Valentine Picture Ideas

Welcome to another installment of the Memories Captured Project, a series designed to help parents take beautiful pictures of their children. See more in the series here.

Today's post is short and sweet. I wanted to share some easy (very doable!) Valentine's Day photo shoot ideas.

Some parents love to have professional pictures taken of their children for every major holiday. This is nowhere close to my style of parenting. But it is fun to have a few cute Valentines-ish photos, especially when your children are young and it's still cute to have them covered in kiss marks.

I took the liberty of rounding up some very easy Valentine's Day photos for you. None of these require fancy studio space. None of these require an elaborate cardboard kissing both or a DIY red and pink backdrop. Most of them only need some pink or red clothes. Add some lipstick kisses, half a dozen balloons, or a heart from Target dollar spot and you are good to go.

Now go take those fun Valentine's pictures (and show me the finished product - I'd love to see!). Don't forget to use my 30-second editing tricks to make your photos pop. And then sit back and watch those Instagram likes pour in. ;)
