Valentine Coodie Catcher

When I do a photo-shoot with children I usually try to have something for them to hold in their hands. Photo-shoots are usually awkward enough for children with out having to figure out what to do with their hands. For my valentines shoot I decided to make Carmen a Valentines themed coodie catcher.

She loved playing with it and I thought it turned out pretty cute! It is great practice to take something like this and practice shooting on with a very low aperture. You can fiddle around and have fun focusing on words or hearts...

I thought some of you might have fun with it so you can print the Valentine Coodie Catcher HERE. Simply print it out and fold it up. I created it so everything will end up going in the perfect spots.

  1. cute idea! and good pointer ob having them hold something while doing a photo shoot, i find my daughter's arms can get so awkward. I am just waiting for it to warm up enough outside so we can have some good lighting again! Argh...
