I would have posted this yesterday on the real Valentine’s day, but the day belonged to my darling boyfriend!

This shoot was a creative I had been thinking about for a while. The idea shifted and changed until it shaped into a Valentine’s day card. I know a perfect little boy and a beautiful girl with long strawberry blond hair that was just what I was looking for.

The blackboard was so amazing but a pain to transport. There is one of the reasons I love my boyfriend! He loaded it into his truck and the guy at the prop house said to me “this guy is a real catch”. What can I say! I know!

A couple of visits to the Value Village and my friends closet and I had the ideal wardrobe. Dollar store was perfect for all the little props. It is amazing how much prep work goes into a single image! If people only knew, I think that all the time while tweaking all the little things at a photo-shoot.

I love the innocence and sweetness of this story. Who were you in love with in grade one? I still remember my crush!

Happy Valentine’s Day!
