Valentine’s Day Minis 2025 Set Design
When dreaming up the set design for this year’s Valentine’s Day Minis, we wanted to create something that felt both modern and timeless – like all our set designs. We were inspired by the clean elegance of a timeless red and white palette paired with a bold accent that simultaneously adds texture: red velvet bows.
The simplicity of the set allows your family’s personality, style, and love to shine through without distractions. We always chose this minimalist approach to give you the freedom to make the space your own—whether that’s with your little ones in cozy neutrals, a couple’s chic Valentine’s date look, a brand to stand out, or a pop of playful patterns.
The best part in my opinion? The red velvet bows, which we tied one by one by hand. We’ll also have a few other props on hand like a vintage polaroid camera, a Valentine’s chocolate box and little gift for everyone to take home!
This set is all about celebrating the love you share while keeping things elegant and effortless.

Tips for Picture-Perfect Valentine’s Day Mini Session Outfit Ideas
- Coordinate, Don’t Match: Opt for complementary colors and patterns that blend harmoniously without being overly matchy-matchy. This creates a cohesive and visually pleasing look for your mini session photos.
- How you feel is Key: Choose outfits that make you and your family feel confident and flatter your body shapes. Relaxed, confident and happy faces make for the best photographs! We find that professional hair and makeup for mom, tailored and ironed clothing, fresh haircuts for dads and manicures for everyone tend to make every member of the family feel confident!
- Layers and Textures: Incorporate layers and textures to add depth and visual interest to your outfits. Scarves, cardigans, and statement jewelry can elevate your look effortlessly. Just keep in mind less is more and don’t over do it. When you book a mini session we can help answer your specific outfit questions!
- Consider the Setting: Keep in mind the background and setting of your Valentine’s Day Mini Session. Choose outfits that complement the ambiance and style of the set you choose – luckily for our Valentine’s Day Mini Session you have a minimal white set with red velvet bows, so anything goes!
- Stay True to Your Style: While it’s fun to experiment with different looks, stay true to your family’s personal style and let your personalities shine through in the photographs. After all, you’ll be turning these into Valentine’s Day Cards!
A Look Back at Last Year’s Valentine’s Mini Sessions
Last year, our Valentine’s Day Mini Sessions featured a playful and modern black XOXO pattern on a white backdrop. This bold, yet simple design added a fun flair, while keeping the focus on the love and the people.
