Valentine’s Day is just around the corner! My opinion? Every seasonal holiday is a reason to get creative and craft away. This year, Austin-based May Designs decided to decorate the office and create custom DIY bath bombs as gifts for friends and family. (Scroll to the end of this post for a link to the recipe so you can make your own.) They turned out so lovely, you’ll have to see!
We also snapped a few other office lifestyle photos perfect for the season. Take a peek at this Valentine’s Day craft lifestyle photo shoot below:
Valentine’s Day Craft Lifestyle Photo Shoot
All the Valentine’s Day bath bombs were assembled and ready for photos when I arrived on location. All they needed were a bit of customization with a coloring pigment pen. Sweethearts candy-inspired, we chose a few classic messages like XOXO and BE MINE and trendy ones like DM ME and BAE.
After getting a few photos of the behind-the-scenes process, I snapped a few pictures of the bath bombs wrapped up. There were two presentation options for this craft. One was displayed inside a heart box with one of their custom stationery cards in a seasonal pattern. The other was placed inside a re-used plastic sleeve (that typically holds their notebooks!) with soap confetti. A DIY tag was made using an old stationery card. So creative!
Both presentations of this Valentine’s Day craft turned out beautifully. The box is great as a larger gift for family and friends. I can see it placed on someone’s door! The smaller one is great as little presents for kids’ school classrooms or party favors. Which one do you prefer?
We also made sure to get a few lifestyle product photos fitting for Valentine’s Day. This holographic notebook looked beautiful in front of this outfit! I love the way each color on the design played against the shimmering sparkles of the skirt. Wait until you see the next photo though. Keep scrolling.
The star photo of the shoot: a Karen tumbler. Perfect to use as a humorous social media marketing asset, email marketing hero image, or website image.
Thanks for joining in and taking a look at a few favorite photos from this Valentine’s Day shoot. The recipe for the DIY Bath Bombs is linked here in this May Designs Instagram post.
I look forward to taking more beautiful pictures for seasonal marketing pushes!
