Being a bump to baby photographer means celebrating love every session and some would say there’s no greater love than that you have for your baby! Since today is Valentine’s Day, let’s talk about some fun facts to celebrate!

The oldest recorded valentine is a 1415 poem written by Charles, Duke of Orleans, to his wife while he was imprisoned in the Tower of London.

The holiday itself is thought to have originated from a third-century Roman priest who held secret weddings for lovers against Emperor Claudius II’s wishes.

Candy hearts were originally created as medical lozenges for sore throats by a Boston pharmacist in the 19th century.

Verona, Italy—home to Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet—receives roughly 1,000 letters addressed to Juliet every Valentine’s Day.
