I had so much fun putting together this toddler Valentines day photoshoot. I wanted fun and cute holiday photos of my kids, but didn’t want to spend a lot of money. I started to learn how to do it myself and thought I would share how I did it. I included all props and outfits I used to make this happen. You can see all the details below!
I didn’t know anything about photography a couple years ago and started to learn on my own to save money. I started to share some of the things I learned here on my blog. Check out more of my DIY photoshoot tips HERE.
Valentines Day Photoshoot Props
You don’t need a lot of props for this Valentines day photoshoot. The only props are the heart balloons you hang up on the backdrop and the wooden boxes the boys sit on.
- Heart balloons are from Amazon
- Wooden crate from Michaels (this is not the same one but similar)
Valentines Day Photoshoot Outfits
I wanted to keep things simple for this Valentines day photoshoot. I thought it would be cute to do a simple white button up shirt with suspenders and jeans. I wish I had black converse because that would have been adorable touch to the outfit. I think the outfit turned out pretty cute!

Valentines Day Photoshoot Backdrop

I used packing tape to attach the balloons to the backdrop. This tape worked best and the balloons never fell down during the photoshoot. I started by placing them from top to bottom, but halfway through I had to move the balloons down. So when you place them on the backdrop start from the bottom up. I had too much space on the bottom half. Star the balloons almost at the floor.
Here is a time lapse of me putting the backdrop together and taking the photos of the boys. It really was such a simple photoshoot and something you can easily do at home.
