Styling a Kids’ Valentine’s Photo Shoot with Danny Weiss

When renowned photographer, Danny Weiss asks you to collaborate on a kids’ project, you don’t say no.  I was so excited that I didn’t fret about having to charge all these clothes on my card and then have to return and pray that everything credited OK post-shoot…well almost. haha Luckily, all the borrowed clothes stayed in perfect condition and everything went just fine.

We aimed for a Valentine’s themed look, with lots of reds, some hearts and a lot of fun thrown in!

Keeping in line with the black, white and red color story, we shot the below series and danced along to some music.  The kids were too much!
