Never Miss a Post!

You’re Just My Type!

February 9, 2012 By Lynlee

Valen­tine’s Day is less than a week away and I’m so excit­ed to share some love with you with this “Just My Type” pho­to shoot! I am always so thrilled when Natal­ie of South­ern Belle’s Charm con­tacts me to col­lab­o­rate on a project. With her amaz­ing ideas and styling tal­ents and the gor­geous print­able design work by Paula of Frog Prince Paperie, the con­cept of a cof­fee shop date came to life! Instead of the mod­ern-day com­mu­ni­ca­tion tools of e‑mailing and tex­ting, Natal­ie chose a throw­back to clas­sic love let­ters writ­ten on an old school type­writer and thus lead­ing up to the play on words of let­ting your sweet­ies know they are just your “type”! We teamed up with the super tal­ent­ed April of April Sum­mers Pho­tog­ra­phy, who took these gor­geous pic­tures of the par­ty set-up, as well as Greyson’s and Anabelle’s Valen­tine play date!
I just adore the fresh col­or com­bi­na­tion in the print­able set, com­bin­ing the tra­di­tion­al red and white with greys and tans. The type­set let­ters are also a great touch, espe­cial­ly in the back­ground with the X’s and O’s! Paula’s work is always so detailed and per­fect! After typ­ing up his invi­ta­tion and Valen­tine, Greyson placed his call to Anabelle to request a play date! And as Anabelle received Greyson’s call, she pro­ceed­ed to get dolled up and type up her own Valentine!
The sweets were dis­played on a beau­ti­ful hutch and sur­round­ed by so many stun­ning details! How beau­ti­ful are the print­a­bles that Natal­ie embell­ished with doilies and cof­fee fil­ters?! Natal­ie brought a plain white cake, which we adorned with “XO” sug­ar cook­ies. Its sim­plic­i­ty paired with the red cake stand made it so very sweet and dis­tinc­tive. I made red vel­vet heart-shaped whoop­ie pies, on which we placed fon­dant top­pers, and I added some red and white sprin­kles to the cream cheese fill­ing for some addi­tion­al sparkle and pop! Natal­ie also found the per­fect mold so I could make the red choco­late type­writ­ers. I dipped Oreo cook­ie pops in red choco­late and added fon­dant type­writer keys spelling out “Just My Type” held up by vin­tage slide pro­tec­tor reels. With an adorable “side of the cup” cook­ie cut­ter from Cost Plus World Mar­ket, I made fon­dant-dec­o­rat­ed cook­ies that were per­fect acces­sories for the Repur­pose cof­fee cups! I think these were my absolute favorite!
How cute is this pho­to sequence that April shot with the kid­dos?! She real­ly was able to cap­ture the beau­ti­ful set­ting and props, along with their dis­tinc­tive personalities!
Natal­ie had the inge­nious idea of not only let­ting the kids play games on their play date, but mak­ing them that much more fun and sweet by ensur­ing they were edi­ble! The check­er pieces were fon­dant-cov­ered sug­ar cook­ies in X’s and O’s, while the tic-tac-toe pieces were sug­ar cube-resem­bling fon­dant pieces! Now that’s a great reward for winning!
The kids has an a blast on their play date and went to town on the good­ies when it was all over! I just adore how the entire shoot came togeth­er and am so grate­ful to be able to work with these fab­u­lous and over-the-top tal­ent­ed ladies! Hope we were able to pro­vide some lov­ing inspi­ra­tion for the sweet­est day of the year! Though, real­ly, every­day should be a sweet day! ♥
