Valentine’s Mini Sessions – A Sweet Success!


Wow, what an incredible time we had with this year’s Valentine’s Day Mini Sessions at Novel Images! ❤️ These sessions were packed with giggles, love, and picture-perfect moments, and I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out.


I spent countless hours designing and setting up five unique studio backdrops to create the perfect Valentine’s experience. From classic romance to fun and playful setups, each one brought a different vibe—but my absolute favorite? The Mylar balloon heart wall! 🎈💖 Seeing it come to life was magical, but nothing compared to the reactions from the kids when they walked in. Their wide-eyed wonder and excitement made all the hard work 100% worth it!


One of the best things about mini sessions is that they offer families a way to capture high-quality, professional images without breaking the bank. Affordable, fun, and stress-free, they’re the perfect way to add fresh photos to your family gallery throughout the year. Whether it’s a holiday, birthday, or just because—these quick, themed sessions make beautiful memories that last forever.


The best part? Kids LOVE coming to see me! 🥰 I make sure every session is full of laughs, playfulness, and genuine moments—because capturing your little ones as they truly are is what I do best!


Montevideo, MN, thank you for trusting me to freeze these sweet moments in time. I can’t wait for the next round of minis! Stay tuned for more fun themes coming soon. 🎉


Until next time, keep making memories! 📸✨
