A Sweet Valentine’s Day with Yummy Macarons!

SHARE THIS STORY

There ain’t nothin’ wrong with a little indulgence on Valentine’s Day and I know just the way I’m celebrating…with French macarons. 🙂 And lots of “I love you’s!” But, Mikkel – don’t you think this holiday is a little Hallmark? RUBBISH!

I actually LOVE Valentine’s Day. And it’s not because I have some amazing boyfriend or spouse who takes me out for a romantic evening, and it’s not because Cupid accurately aims his arrow at me every year. It’s because I’m a hopeless hopeful romantic and I am so fortunate to have incredible family and friends in my life. And it’s never too late, too early or the wrong day to say I Love You…but Valentine’s Day is a good reminder to shout it from the rooftops. Life’s short – tell the people who matter to you, you love them.

A day in review…over the years!

  • In 2011 I posted a great little romantic playlist! “Maybe I was cupid in a past life…”
  • In 2013 I received a super cute heart from Birdhouse Productions, cinematographers
  • In 2014 I posted about my grandparents love and the art my grandfather made my grandmother and was even featured on Refinery 29 with some sweet proposal photography!

I said it in 2011 and I’ll say it again in 2015….

May you feel loved and give love today and always.

“The love we give away is the only love we keep.”

Lastly, if you want some romantic weekend eye candy, I’m photographing a wedding tomorrow I’m SUPER excited about! Be sure to follow me on Facebook and Instagram for updates!

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!
