Confession: I am head over heels in LOVE with Valentine's Day!
Every year, I celebrate the wearing of the pink and red for 2-3 weeks...sure some may think that is a little bit of monochromatic overload for 3 weeks, but since my closet is packed full of both colors anyway, it is no biggie for me! I love to bake heart shaped sugar cookies and glob them up with pink frosting and red sprinkles! I love stuffing envelopes with cute little valentine's and treats to send to my kiddos classmates! I love the lost tradition of delivering secret valentines on doorsteps! I love getting a gorgeous bouquet of gerber daisies from my sweet husband and (of course) going on a special date with him.
Valentine's day is pretty much my favorite holiday ever!
Last year, I decided that spiderman/spongebob/cheesy mcCheaserson valentines were just not for this little family of mine, so instead we set up a photobooth in our livingroom, had the little man write his valentine's message on a heart he cut out himself, and snapped some pictures of his cute little self holding his personalized valentine. Then I designed a digital valentine, had 4x6 prints made and he signed each one personally. We sent them to grandparents and aunts and uncles as well, and they got TONS of compliments!
So, this year, I want to spread the LOVE! I will be holding a one day Valentine's Photo Booth so you and your family can give Valentine's that actually make an impact this year instead of boring old spiderman who doesn't get a second glance before he makes his way right from the valentine box into the trash can...wait who was this candy from?
What if you don't have anyone who is part of the preschool/elementary school valentine exchange? No problem...these sessions would be perfect for teens to have taken with their BFF or to give out to their peeps or post on facebook so their friends can see just how awesome they are! They would also be perfect to remember that adoreable new fling you are dating...or the adoreable fling you have been dating for a while! And to you lovebirds who just happen to share the same last name and occupied ring fingers...when was the last time you had pictures taken of the two of you being sappy/cheesy/silly/adoreable? Can't remember? Thought so...make your appointment, drag your husband in here and I promise I will make it painless! (Yes, I know I am assuming that you are a woman...if you are a man and reading, don't be offended, it is just that men don't typically do the picture scheduling, but feel free to prove me wrong...I bet it earns you brownie points!!)
Are you excited yet? I am a little giddy, actually, so here are the details:
You read that right...it is only $30 and you will have your images before Valentine's Day! This is a perfect way to try out smileabunch photography (and to get the perks of being a client which includes a returning client discount for your next session)! This is also the last photobooth session I will be offering until after I come back from maternity leave at the end of summer, so don't miss your chance to get on the schedule!
To my wonderful clients, returning client gift cards are not valid for photobooth sessions, but you will be
able to stack your gift cards for your next full session with me! Thanks for understanding!

Jen! We totally want to do this, so either Paul or I will call you to get our session booked! This will be so fun because Conner will be 1-yr in February, plus it's National CHD (Congenital Heart Defect) awareness during a few weeks of February, so it all works great for Conner! We are so excited to send out Valentines of him to family and friends! They will love it!
ReplyDeleteARGH! I would do this in a heartbeat (PUN INTENDED) but we will be on a cruise. If you happen to have a day 2 or reschedule, please let me know. This is Judy, not John -- BTW!
