Valentine's Day is right around the corner and there is a super easy way to do your own little V-Day shoot with your S.O. or kids!
What you'll need:
Newspapers (they were 50 cents a bundle at my local newspaper)
12 heart shaped balloons ( I got mine at Dollar Tree)
Optional : 1 dozen roses
Camera
If you're setting this up at home, make sure you do it facing a window for the best lighting.
If you want to get really creative you may even want to add some of these other props:
3 Other Valentines Day Props:
Rose Petals - You can toss them in the air, or put them around your couples head as they lay on their backs
Heart Shaped Sunglasses - If you're doing a Galentine shoot, you can both wear these to give a more retro/timeless feel
XOXO Balloon - Instead of hearts on either side, you could use the XOXO
SELF PORTRAITS:
Or you can even do some self portraits with this same backdrop. You can either put your camera on a self timer or have an external source that controls the shutter. I use Canon Connect on my iPad to connect to my camera.

Sweater:
I got mine at a local boutique called Binge (@shopbinge) but here is an identical sweater
