Personal: Valentine's Day Kissing Booth

I have never known a greater love...

My Elijah, today is no exception: You just run my heart, little one. 

♥ Happy Valentine's Day!! ♥

Kissing Booths are hard work hu, buddy?

Wishing you all an amazingly LOVE-FILLED Valentine's Day! Muah!

Props/Credits: This kissing-booth idea was taken from Pinterest, but the tweaks I made were so easy! I hand cut the hearts from red & white card-stock and used permanent red marker on the clothes-pins to paint stripes. The small nickles were so fun for him to count and stack so it kept this 15-month-old entertained the whole time. (But I know that at the age of 2 I ate and swallowed a penny, so if you want to do something similar, just make sure you watch these little ones. ;) Luckily, Eli doesn't tend to put things in his mouth. Phew!) The frame was made by my father from reclaimed-barn-wood (and yes, we are SO CLOSE to opening our Etsy shop!). And a red-lipstick kiss on his face cost me nothing but restraint...it was so hard not to  smoother him in kisses. :-*

There are photographers who are talented; then there are those who are gifted.

I had read the above quote last year and couldn't think of a better way to say it. I like giving credit where credit is due...which is why you'll constantly hear me praising the names of those I love, those I respect, and those I greatly admire. Hunter Leone is no exception. He is the creative mind behind this styled wedding shoot. Everything I'd seen of him online was true-to-life when we met. Skye just gets it. This man is gifted.
