Materials you’ll need:
- Camera (or a smartphone!)
- Editing software to add text
- A membership to midwestphotopix.com (it’s 100% free!)
- Your favorite Valentine’s Day themed candy
Step 1: Take and edit your photo
This is something that can be done from anywhere! For ours, we used a Savage Roll Backdrop in Tulip and Lumopro backdrop stand to make the perfect image. We wanted it to look like Brooke was holding the candy that we will eventually tape to our photo, so we had her pose in a way where that could happen. From there, I just put my photo in Lightroom and tweaked with a few of the settings, and threw it in Illustrator to add the text. If you don’t have access to Adobe software, try exploring editing sites such as Canva!
Step 2: Upload your photo to midwestphotopix.com and order 4×6 prints
This is truly my favorite part of the process, because of how EASY it is to upload, store, and order prints and photo products from midwestphotopix.com! It’s totally free for a membership, and you’ll automatically get 20% off your first order – that’s FREE money! You’ll also get access to special members-only deals, as well as free unlimited photo storage, and easy access to print everything that is stored.
Upload your photo to midwestphotopix.com, and select 4×6 photo prints. Prints start at .39 per print; but the more you order, the more you’ll save! Midwest photo prints their 4×6 prints in-house, and you can expect speedy service and excellent quality.
Here’s our Imaging Area; the exact place in our store where your 4×6 prints are produced! We love to be able to provide these services by spectacular people, all in-house.
Step 3: Add your candy
We chose some heart shaped lollipops to add to our personalized valentines, but I think this would look so cute with other Valentine’s Day themed candy such as conversation hearts. The best part about these customized cards is that you get to choose how they look!
Step 4: Gift to the ones you love
Giving – that’s what it’s all about! Give your loved ones, classmates, or secret admirers a valentine that stands out against the rest, and is sure to bring them a smile to their face this Valentine’s Day.
