Let’s Talk About Love

I’ve been looking up cute ideas for Valentine’s Day photo shoots with your kiddos (or significant other) and wanted to share some of the creative things I’ve found.

I love how this shoot is styled, but even if you don’t want to go to the effort of styling the whole shoot, it would be easy to make a sweet banner for a picture. (Inspiration from Inspire Me, Baby; photographer is Ciara Hammonds)

This is a fun idea using chalk. (Inspiration from I Heart Faces; photographer is Cheng Bee.)

Another idea from JinkyArt that would be easy to execute (can you tell I’m all about the easy?).

And my attempt at a “heart” shot.

I’m a creative who pulls inspiration from all corners of life—both the joyful highs and the real-life moments that punch you in the gut. Honestly, I don’t think I can pin down a single scrapbooking style for myself, so let’s just go with eclectic. My layouts really depend on my mindset. If I’m in a deep, cerebral mood, you’ll likely see something chaotic and messy. If I’m more relaxed, it tends to come out clean, simple, and structured.

My brain is usually running on several channels at once, so it’s completely normal for me to be working on a digital layout, dabbling in a hybrid project, and getting messy with art journaling or mixed media—all at the same time.

Here are a few of my go-to tools: Digital: Adobe Photoshop CC + my MacBook; Photos: Canon Rebel or iPhone; Hybrid: Cricut Joy + sewing machine; Art Journaling: watercolors, stencils, and artsticks

And when it comes to embellishments—digital or physical—I’m always reaching for messy threads, ribbons, and Polaroids. Always the Polaroids.
