Fun Photo ideas for Valentines day cards

Valentine's day is such a fun holiday for kids. Add to the fun by having a Valentine's day photo shoot! Here are some fun ideas to get you started.

Kisses- Have your child pucker up for the camera. If you have a baby have someone take a picture of you and your partner each kissing their cheeks. These type of photos work great as close ups on Valentine's day photo cards.

Hugs- If you have more than one child have them give each other a hug. This makes for an adorable photo.

Cupid- This idea works best for babies. Purchase or make a pair of wings and give baby a plastic bow and arrow to play with. How cute!

Paper hearts- Buy some heart decorations and let your child explore and play with them. Try to capture candid shots as they play. You can also have them hold a large heart in front of their face and have them peek out from behind it. Adorable!

Whatever type of photo you choose make sure to share the love with a custom Valentines day photo card from AddieKate.com!

Ideas for Holiday card pictures

Every year I have a great time coming up with a new fun idea for a Christmas card photo. I decided to compile a list of all the great ideas I've used and seen on others holiday photo cards.



Baby with Christmas lights

Place your baby or toddler on a dark background with a lighted string of Christmas lights to look at. Turn of all lights and utilize the natural light available. Take lots of photos of your baby looking at the lights. (Disclaimer- Christmas lights contain some lead so do not let your child put them in their mouth and wash your child's hands thoroughly after your photo shoot).



Santa's Cookies

Take a picture of your child in their holiday outfit "stealing" Santa's cookies. You can caption your holiday photo card to say "I'm sorry Santa". Or a similar fun saying.



Naughty and Nice

Pick a collage holiday card design and feature one photo of your child smiling sweetly and one photo of your child mad (we all have those!).

Christmas wreath

Take a close up of your child peering through the middle of a Christmas wreath. This makes for a beautiful, simple photo for any of our individual picture holiday cards.

Our Christmas Gift came early

This is a great idea for to use on a holiday birth announcement. Place your baby in a large box to appear it was unwrapped.

Ho Ho Ho

Place your baby in the bathtub with a Santa hat on. Put bubbles on your babies face as a beard. Too cute!

These are just a few ideas to get you started. Have fun capturing that perfect moment!
