doing things differently definitely makes you stand out Sarah, love it
congrats. i can only imagine how awesome it feels to see your work in print! you rock
Thanks for sharing not only your beautiful images but not being shy about sharing the business side of it too.
just got my first cards from the printer, will spend tomorrow handing them out all over town - VERY uncomfortable for me!!! But my vision is to take as many meaningful photos as possible and do everything with love. Sarah you have been elemental in getting things started for me, more than you know.
You all do fantastic work and I love it! It must be an amazing feeling seeing your hard work published! Congratulations :)
Congrats on this. I love your work and have never commented before, but wanted to finally say hi and thought this was a great post to do it in :)
I also wanted to give you a heads up about an email to watch out for about another publishing opportunity.
A few people have lives as wonderful as you - but most of them aren't able to "get it" or articulate it. How sad for them. As for you, do NOT apologize! Revel in your fortune, and, by all means, share it. Serve as an example. Give others permission to explore their own good fortune.
Don't apologize for the sap, its beautiful when it happens! Happy Valentines Day!
You are a brilliant and inspiring soul, Sarah Rhoads. I'm thankful for our chats, and can't wait to finally meet you and Chris in 3 weeks :)
From one lover of love to another...kisses kisses smooch and smack! Have a beautiful day.
my mouth is watering. I'm like Pavlov's dog. woof!
You're adorable. I love everything you write. So glad you and Chris have each other.
Love the photo, great concept. You and your hubby sound so blissfully happy! Happy Valentine's day to you both!
That story was SO sweet! I love hearing about the love you have for each other & your faith in God. It's the same feeling I feel for my fiance! This picture is AMAZING! :)
your writing is adorable. love hearing about your life. :)
this photo is sick! love love love it!!!! wow!
and what a great entry! be sappy anytime it is okay, can not wait to meet you at WPPI
This is one of my very favorite shoots you've done! Your artistic expression really came through on this one.
VERY cool shoot. Love the shot of her lying on the floor with all the goodies.
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.
wine and chocolate and your photography equals yummy. i want to see valentine's day the movie too. =)
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 :)
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!
SARAH!!! i'm seriously drowning in my own puddle of drool. :) LOVE the concept, absolutely brilliant. and the outfits, makeup, accessories and CHOCOLATE all just pair perfectly together. :)
@sarahjane it is an aesthetic element that the make up artist wanted to introduce to enhance the look she was going for :)
Such a fun shoot! Love her outfit and the photo of her mixing the bowl.
This is awesome!!!! I love all the hershey kisses on the floor!
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.
Loving this series and thanks for sharing :D
this is my favorite thing you have ever done! i love the one with the knife. it's so mr. and mrs. smith. and i love the heart drawn in the chocolate chips. yummy!
sarah, these seriously rock my world! what a great concept.
This concept shoot is pretty awesome! Makes me want to eat some raw cookie dough. :)
What a great theme for a shoot! I love the hair and make-up! And the polka dot apron is fantastic! The pictures wouldn't be the same without it.
UGH! I know it sounds like I say the same thing every time I comment on your blog, but I can't help it! I love it all! Every shoot is just as amazing, if not, better! Every single picture in this shoot is crazy good! You guys rock!
I loooove this, Sarah!! Beautiful work, great creativity!!

These photos are like total perfection! You guys are so going to be shooting for magazines one day! I love the outfits, the way you've posed them and not posed them. The one of the girl by the window is just stunning. I could go on and on but I best not...; ) You two are just so talented!
gorgeously styled, so fun.
O-M-Gooooodness. I can't even say how much I love these images. Rog and I have been cooking up some shoots 'for us' and this makes me even more excited for them. BEAUTIFUL!!!
