2. Polaroid Love Collage 📸
A snapshot of love, laughter, and friendship—frozen in time, framed with joy.
I started by taking instant film photos during a fun Galentine’s celebration with my best girls.
We laughed, posed, and captured memories with balloons, heart decor, and playful hats.
Once the prints developed, I arranged them on a dark wooden table in a scattered, overlapping pattern—like a scrapbook without glue.
I made sure some images tilted for a natural, carefree vibe. The warm tones of the photos popped beautifully against the background.
Finally, I took a top-down shot to immortalize the moment digitally. It’s a keepsake of our love, reminding us that every friendship deserves to be celebrated!
