Photo ideas for baby’s first Valentine’s Day
You don’t have to go all out and book a photographer — or even leave the house — to take some special photos of baby’s first Valentine’s Day that you’ll treasure forever. Use a few simple props you can find on Amazon, in the Dollar Spot at Target, or stashed in your own holiday decorations. Actually, you may only need some lipstick.
Do you own a letterboard? Pop a short and sweet message on it and place it next to your baby, along with any other decorations, like a garland, paper hearts, or rose petals. Then, just stand back and snap away as they giggle and play with all the shiny things you’ve laid around them.
If you have a pink or red lipstick, swipe some on and smooch your little Valentine all over. Then, lay them on a soft blanket that makes them the focus and take some pics. Whether you’re a proud parent of one new baby or your little one has older siblings, you can get as many kids in on this photo as you want (but you may have to reapply a few times to cover them all in kisses).
Cut out a few small hearts from red construction paper or felt, and lay them carefully around your slumbering baby for a serene Valentine’s Day photo. Or, if you don’t want to risk disturbing them during nap time, let them play with the hearts when they wake up and snap your photos then.
