Holidays are the perfect excuse to go take some beautiful photos - you just need the right caption!
Valentine's Day is no exception. It's a great chance to snap some cute shots and add a fun saying to it.
Here's a list I compiled of fun Valentine's Day photos and captions. Hopefully they provide a good starting point for a photo you could take and then add a sweet caption. They are all non-candy ideas if you want some candy-free valentines.
10 Captions to Inspire a Unique Valentine Photo (Non-Candy!)
1. You Make My Heart Bounce!
I've always wanted to do some purposeful jumping on the bed with a camera nearby. How cute would these be with a little caption that says "you make my heart bounce"?
2. I've Got My Eye On You
If you have access to a fisheye lens, get up-close and personal with your child's eye!
These pictures are just examples of what a fisheye shot would look like, but I think this could be super cute in a stylized situation with your child wearing a red/pink shirt and plenty of Valentine's decorations around them.
(Do you mostly take photos with your phone? The Olloclip
has a fisheye lens!)

3. Have A Ball, Valentine!
This one is pretty self-explanatory, but it's a fun and easy photo shoot to recreate! If you don't want to go to a ball pit, you can use any balls you have at home. The more colorful, the better!

4. I Go Bananas For You!
Everyone can do this one! You just need some bananas! You could put your child in yellow, like the picture below, or make it more Valentine-themed with a red or pink outfit instead.
5. I'm Crazy For You
Grab a crazy straw for a fun, simple photo!

You could also use the crazy straw idea as a valentine to hand out, much like the lollipop idea posted here. It's a different type of valentine than most of the simple photo ideas in this post, but it's still really cute!

6. You're The Apple Of My Eye
Another simple, quick photo shoot. Put your kid in a cute outfit and have them hold an apple or two and you're all set!

7. I Mustache Ask You To Be My Valentine
This is a fun one! Make a mustache cutout or buy some fun fake ones, and have your child pose for some silly photos with it.

8. I Get a Kick Out of You!
Does your little one love to play? Make sure you capture that!
9. You Blow Me Away!
There's a couple of different ways you could do these - just a picture with your child holding a pinwheel, or a 3D pinwheel valentine.
You could use "You Blow Me Away" or "You Take My Breath Away" or even "Spin Me Around, Valentine!"

10. Have a Wand-erful Valentine's Day!
Do you have a girl who loves to dress up as a princess? Or maybe one who is enthralled with fairies?
Let her dress up in a fun outfit complete with a wand and go take some magical pictures!

Lovely photos! My kids are all older now, but these would have been great for Valentine's Day./ Especially the mustache ones. Clever and cute.
