The Hallmark Holiday of Love is almost upon us. I've never been a huge valentines day fan myself, but I guess it is hard to bash any holiday that promotes eating endless chocolates and getting roses and "I love you" cards and poems from your sweetheart. I'll take it, commercialized or not. 

Tiffany Lowry styled and did all of the hair and make up for this shoot. She is quite the rockstar. We had a lot of fun gorging ourselves with chocolate and champagne on this shoot. I have the worst sweet tooth known to man and cookie dough and brownie batter are my weakness so this set was like temptation island for me.

Does anyone have any big plans for Valentines day? As for me, my only request from my hubs is to see the new movie Valentines Day and eat some delish Italian cuisine with him. That movie looks so stinkin' cute and I love romantic comedy's.

I can't help but laugh every time I look at the second to last pic; the mayonnaise jar totally looks like it's about to tip over and smack her in the head.

I don't know if that was a happy accident or intention, but it absolutely made the shot for me.

Funny I posted a comment here but now I do not see it any more.. Perhaps I did not hit the submit button or something else?

Beautiful conceptual photographs. As always, I love to look at your stuff. Fabulous.

@Steve Thanks for the kind words! Yes, this shoot was a multi-light set up with a 60in umbrella and various modifiers. Hope that helps :)

Steve says: Monday, February 8, 2010, 06:43 PM

This shot set is KILLAH! I think they are my fave shots of yours to date. You continually inspire everyone that frequents your blog. Did you use strobes or any other light sources besides the ones supplied in the rooms? Great work - super inspiring!

sarahrhoads says: Monday, February 8, 2010, 12:59 PM

@sarahjane it is an aesthetic element that the make up artist wanted to introduce to enhance the look she was going for :)

Jen@GreenWeddingShoes says: Monday, February 8, 2010, 12:58 PM

Such a fun shoot! Love her outfit and the photo of her mixing the bowl.

One word to some up the whole shoot... YUM!
Can I ask though, what is the red shading on her face in all the color pictures. Have a I missed something? Just curious.
