Since my little cousin’s enjoyed doing this last year. their parents got many comments on their Valentine cards, and have had a couple of people ask, I decided I would do some mini sessions this year for Valentine’s Day. This seems early to put up, but I wanted to get the date on the calendar before time gets away from me and we have people inquiring about sessions in January and February. On a side note, I can’t believe how much they’ve changed in the last year…

Here are their cards from last year, they also included pop rocks to give to their friends. So, fun!

This is a fabulous deal for studio photos! There will be 3 backdrops to choose from, a chalkboard valentine with valentine sayings written on it, vintage newspaper with a banner , and the stacked stereos shown in the cards above. The cost covers up to 4 subjects. Pets are also welcome. It’s going to be a really fun event!

Wishing everyone a wonderful New Year! I have been reflecting on what has been an amazing and blessed year. So, it’s…..
