Valentine’s Day Prep Guide
Woohoo! You just signed up for your Valentine’s Day mini session! I can’t wait to see you. Here’s a look at some past Valentine’s Day sets with LovelyInk Creative, a look at this year’s celebration, and tips to really show off that LOVE!
The ‘fits
This set will neutral with black, white, and soft pinks, so it’s a perfect way to set apart YOUR style. I’ve included colors that look great with my editing style to help you add pops of color, if you’re interested. Tulle, layering, and flowy outfits will also contribute to the cute look!
Suggested color palette
You know I love color…
… and this year is no exception! Consider adding a “family color” to bring all of your pieces together. With the neutrals and pinks of this set, a dusty tone is a great option. Pay attention to which tones your select, though. Anything too fluorescent has the potential to cast unwanted colors on your skin!
Cute & Romantic
Basic Wardrobe Tips
• Bold, neutral, and jewel-toned colors work great with my editing style and suit all skin tones
• Wear layers and flowy clothing to add movement
• Large prints and textures add visual interest
• Skip any neon or fluorescent colors – they cast unwanted colors on your skin
• Consider undergarment lines and straps
• Steam or iron your outfits, if needed
• Add accessories like jackets, belts, and hats
Note: Skip any hats that sit low on the forehead – they can create a shadow over your lovely face
• Think about your hair and skin
• Nails should be clean and in your preferred style
Candy is sweet, and cupcakes are too, but no one is sweeter or loved more than you.
My goal is to make photos feel less like a chore, and more like family fun! Try planning photos on a day that you won’t be rushing from one thing to the next. When you’re done, you could even share a meal and talk about the fantastic time you had!
The best way to get kids to smile is to keep it light. I recommend that no discipline take place before or during the session, unless they are a danger to people or the environment. It’s much easier for me to re-direct kids or play games instead of parents breaking the fun to stop perceived misbehavior. Parents set the mood, and your little ones probably watched you prep for this session. Show them just how exciting and fun family photos can be!
