Most of the Valentine’s craziness is over and done in our household now….writing out valentines, gathering the treats, purchasing cookies for the party (I know – bad mom!), going to the parties, hiding the treats from the candy-overloaded children…
After all of that was over, then the “big event” of Valentine’s Day arrived…the Father/Daughter Dance.
Which involved the “prettying-up” of one very excited, giddy eight-year-old girl.
I’ll have many, many more photos of this event to share, because this mom got to tag along with the Father and Daughter this year…as the official Father/Daughter Dance photographer!
After I edit the photos of 170+ girls posing with their dads (lord have mercy!) I’ll then be able to show off the photos of my little gal dancing with her daddy.
That little fact alone makes the editing of the other bajillion photos absolutely, completely worth it to me.
Happy Heart Day to you! What cute pictures….don’t you love daddy’s dancing with their daughters??!!

My father is always the first valentine I send. He was my first, my one and only! Dad. Happy Valentine’s day from Italy
That is so sweet- and so is your photo collage! Happy Valentine’s Day, Angie!
You can see the anticipation in Weslea’s eyes, lovely photo.
Happy Hearts Day Angie!! Your kids are absolutely adorable and your daughter is going to give you a head of gray some day! LOL!
Happy Valentine’s day, I cannot believe what a beautiful picture that is of your daughter… what a special time with her and her dad!
Happy Valentine’s Day Angie! I love all the pictures you put together. You always have a great eye for detail.
You didn’t get to see it but I added you to my list of Photography “Inspirations”. : )
Question: Is that gorgeous collage one you made on your own in PS or one you bought as an action? I love it. If you made it what image size do you start with to transfer your images onto for blogging? I am still trying to figure that out in PS.
Weslea looks so pretty. I hope she had fun dancing with her daddy…even though the poor girl’s daddy is sweatiepy.
Happy Valentine’s Day Angie! Weslea looks adorable in that photo, as do your boys too!
Cannot wait to see the rest of the pics from the Dad/Daughter dance!
You have a great day!
That photo of Weslea is completely gorgeous!! What a beautiful girl, and what a fun thing to do for V-day!!
Happy Valentines Day!! Weslea looks JUST like you in that photo. Well, minus the black hair:-) I can’t wait to see all the photos of the big event.
What a beautiful daughter! You could not deny that one if you had to, she looks just like you!
and just think of the wonderful Valentine Gift you gave all the other parents. Those pictures are priceless!
She is a beauty (although I’m a *bit* biased about how I see her!)
Beth ~ I used Jodi’s “Blog-It Board Actions” from mcpactions.com. I’m telling you, if you don’t have them…you need to get them! They are so easy to work with. You basically bring each photo in and then drag the edges to make it whatever size you’d like (I’ll many times just use one tiny bit of a bigger photo in that portion of the collage.) The collage saves as 900 across, but I resize it to 650 for this blog. On my photo blog, I make my photos a bit bigger (700.)
I hope this helps!
Love the valentine photo collage and your daughter is gorgeous…wow! My daughter is almost 3 and I can just see her getting so excited about a daddy/daughter dance…how sweet!
Oh, I can’t wait to see the photos of Weslea and her dad dancing. I’ll bet you had a wonderful time as the photographer too.
The editing thing…ugh. I understand the reasoning for taking photos in RAW, but I’ve got almost 2000 photos from vacation to process now. Granted they won’t all get printed, but just the idea that I’ve got to go through them is daunting. Does one ever get good enough to get great Straight out of Camera shots?
Valentine’s Day is such a fun holiday for kids and families. It looks like yours was very sweet!
Happy Valentines Day!
We keep running in the same circles. With that said…I am adding you to my blog list.
Hope you had a wondeful Valentines day.
Hope you had a good Valentine’s..mine was spent at a very romantic wedding…will do blog about it later.
The photo of your daughter is stunning…what a beautiful child!!
Cant wait to see the father/daughter dance photo’s, its not something that gets done in South africa, and never heard about it here in Germany either.
can’t wait to see wessie’s pics- she looks darling in the collage!!!
She shore is bee-yoo-tee-full!!!!
I know this is a little late, but it sounds as if you had a wonderful, but busy, Valentine weekend at your house. Your daughter is a young beauty (that’s going to be hard on Dad!)
I can’t WAIT to see Weslea dancing with Sweatiepy!
