The Perfect Valentines Date

February 9, 2012

Our Favorite Date Ideas?Perfect for Valentine’s (or any) Day

Ice Skating
Find an outdoor skating rink and rent some skates. Bundle up and grab a thermos of hot chocolate (with maybe a touch of peppermint schnapps), some mugs and a camera to document your winter wonderland memories.

Stargazing
Find a tranquil outdoor setting and bring an air mattress, hammock or some reclining chairs. For an unforgettable time, mark your calendar for the next big meteor shower and get ready to make some wishes! Bring a nice bottle of wine and ask 20 questions while you gaze. Make your own constellation.

Scavenger Hunt
Whether it’s throughout your house or throughout the whole city, make a scavenger hunt for your love and help them follow the clues to a picnic or dinner at a nice restaurant.

Row, Row, Row your Boat
Rent a row boat and take a few leisurely spins around a lake. Timeless romance. Sigh? (oh, and don’t forget to wait for the ice to melt first!)

Play Strip Poker
And let them win a few games!

Get Fresh
Go to an orchard or berry farm and pick some fresh fruit to enjoy together. Bring a nice bottle of champagne (of course) to reward yourselves for your efforts. Find a nice spot to plant a tree together. Go back and carve your names in it on an anniversary or special occasion down the road.

Be Adventurous
Go bungee jumping, skydiving, rock climbing, anything out of your comfort zone. You’ll get a great adrenaline rush and wonderful memories with your loved one.

Dance the Night Away
Take a dance class and then go to a nice dinner afterwards.

Volunteer Together
Find a common interest and donate some time together. Visit a nursing home for a monthly bingo night, help out at a food bank, visit children in the hospital or clean up a trail or park.

Hope this list helps your imagination run wild. Get out there and spend some quality time with the one you love! You could even book a romantic photo shoot with us, either in the studio or on location.

We had a fantastic experience with Katherine at my daughter’s newborn photo shoot. Katherine captured some truly beautiful moments. I would highly recommend Katherine. She takes care of your newborn like they were her own, so mummy can relax and enjoy.

We had a relaxed and calm family shoot with Katherine, it was stress free with no expectation placed upon us. And the results speak for themselves. Superb images. Could not be happier. Excellent, thank you so much.

"Katherine is a pleasure to work with, her idea's, attention to detail and creative flair really enables her business to stand out from the crowd."
M. Albion.

Katherine was great with our newborn daughter, her relaxed nature puts everyone at ease and she really takes great time and care over the shoot so it's not a rushed experience. She really knows her stuff and of course the photos were amazing - the only hard bit is trying to decide which ones to pick from the shoot so we just got them all!
J. King

Katherine was great with my daughter at her newborn shoot, I had an idea of the sort of photos I wanted, which Katherine did but with her own artistic flair, which meant we had lots of gorgeous photos to cherish from such a special time.
C. Owen

I felt like a model at my maternity shoot and the pictures were amazing. Katherine is a brilliant photographer - I spent a while deciding where to go and have seen photos from friends of other shoots and they don’t compare to this. I would highly recommend Katherine.
N. Hett

Katherine made our photo shoot so relaxed and fun that the pictures reflect the great atmosphere. Thank you!
J. Maycock

I would highly recommend Katherine, she was professional at all times and was so gentle and loving towards our newborn son while posing him. She was also fantastic with my older children when they arrived to have photos taken with their little brother.
K. Hastings

What an amazing experience! Katherine did a fantastic job photographing my daughter. She was very patient and professional throughout, showing a great talent with photography as well as putting my daughter at ease.
S. Edgington

If you'd seen the crying, sicky, pooping baby we had at the shoot and the resulting super cute photos of what looks like a peaceful little angel you'd realise what a miracle worker Katherine is with the camera... I can't recommend her strongly enough
K. Hague

My husband and I would highly recommend Katherine. It was amazing to watch her work her magic with our newborn baby.
S. Hood

Absolutely overwhelmed with happiness at the stunning pic I picked up on Saturday! Thankyou so so much. We will see you again soon.
L. Cox

Katherine, thank you for beautiful photographs of our daughter. She has changed so much since last time you photographed her for us and your photographs always capture her spirit. From one proud mommy.
V. Finn

With a 6 month old baby and a 9 year old we were a little nervous about our photo shoot, but Katherine presented us with absolutely superb photo’s which now take pride of place in our house and our family’s. Highly recommended."
