For the past few years, my sisters & I have been meeting together on a cold Friday in January to have a quick little Valentine’s photo shoot with our kiddos. It usually goes pretty fast and the whole crew of nine kids in one small space can get a little wild, but I love the snapshot of their lives it gives us. It’s becoming a sweet little tradition.

The resulting images come in super handy when it’s time to send Valentines out to school friends and grandparents: a cute photo valentine card along with a little piece of candy makes for a fun, personal little greeting. Here’s our 2014 crop of Valentines, along with our wishes for a Happy Valentine’s Day, from us to you:
