NEW VALENTINE’S DECOR SETUP + MODEL CALL! 💓

NEW VALENTINE’S DECOR SETUP + MODEL CALL! 💓

Get ready to step into a world of sweetness with our newest kid-friendly Valentine’s setup in the Nest studio!

Perfectly designed for little ones, this movable installation sits in the Nest’s iconic all-white fabric zone and features a bright pink oversized heart that creates the cutest contrast with tiny kids — adding an extra layer of charm to every shot. 🩷

The other side of the room remains setup-free, giving you the best of both worlds: neutral, timeless photos or a tiny sprinkle of Valentine’s magic.

We’re looking for a mother-daughter duo (ideally with kids aged 2–6) to join us for a free photoshoot this Wednesday, January 15th, to showcase this adorable setup.

✨ If you would like to participate, follow @mintroomstudios, comment below & DM us your photo(s) along with your story and mentioning how many weeks pregnant are you.

🔊If you know anyone who might be interested, share this post with them!⁠

PLEASE NOTE: Due to a high volume of submissions only selected candidates will be contacted by us. Thank you for your patience and understanding!⁠

DIY Gigantic Trendy Bow: Our Secret Technique 🎀

DIY Gigantic Trendy Bow: Our Secret Technique 🎀

After launching our Valentine’s Day installation, everyone’s been asking about the bow!

We totally get it - creating the perfect oversized bow wasn’t easy. We tested nine different methods… and none worked. So, we invented our own technique! After lots of trial and error, we finally achieved the result we dreamed of, and now we’re sharing it with you.

Unlike other bows, this one doesn’t fall, shrink, or lose its stunning shape - it’s voluminous, sturdy, and absolutely photo-ready.

Let us know in the comments if you’re as obsessed with this trend as we are!

And, Toronto, we hope you make this iconic bow part of your next photoshoot. ♥️

‘WRAPPED IN LOVE’ IN THE EAST SIDE ♥️ Our

‘WRAPPED IN LOVE’ IN THE EAST SIDE ♥️

Our newest Valentine’s Day installation is a celebration of passion, love and artistry. This bold and dramatic setup features a total deep-red monochrome vibe, with luxurious velvet curtains thoughtfully arranged to create layers of depth and dimension. Positioned parallel to the windows, the setup is built to capture soft, flattering light for a striking, editorial touch.

At the heart of the design lies a trendy, oversized red bow, making a statement that’s equal parts romantic and modern. A red ottoman provides a stylish seating option, while a red rug seamlessly connects the curtains to the floor, creating a fully immersive crimson dreamscape.

The best part? This installation is fully customizable to fit your vision. The oversized bow is on hooks, so you can easily move it aside for minimalist shots featuring the dramatic red curtains or use it as a fun prop. Plus, the setup includes a movable backdrop on wheels—painted red on one side and white on the other - offering endless variety (think bold curtain reveals or sleek, modern looks).

Perfect for Valentine’s campaigns, glamorous girls and couples shoots, solo portraits, or even dramatic motherhood moments, this setup adds a bold and artistic flair to your photography and transforms your photos into unforgettable works of art.
