How do I love thee?

With Valentine's Day fast approaching, I knew I wanted to work something subtle in to my session with the Poindexters. The poem I referenced in this blog title is by Elizabeth Barrett Browning and is meant for one's true love, but I used it as inspiration for the session I had last week with this trio of siblings. In the spirit of Valentine's Day, I thought it would be neat to capture the kids having fun doing activities that expressed their love towards each other.

To start, the kids had some fun making Valentine "cootie catchers" or "fortune tellers". It was fun to see the sayings they put on the inside and watch them take turns trying them out on each other. Next they each made a heart for one of their siblings sharing what they loved about them or were grateful for. Although the statements were short, they were still sweet!

I hope you get to do something fun with your someone special tomorrow! Have a sweet Valentine's Day!
