Happy Hearts Day!

Happy >advanced< Valentine's Day, sweeties! I posted this today because tomorrow, I won't just be celebrating the day of love, but my youngest sister's birthday as well. So I'll be busy making birthday banners, baking cakes, and keeping the little kids invited in line. Unfortunately, Leon won't be here then, but we made plans to have our little celebration today =) Don't worry, I'll post pictures. 

Would you believe it if I told you I used to hate the holiday?? Oh yes, I thought it was the big companies' way of manipulating people into buying usually non-important trinkets like cards and candy. But lately I realized that if we wanted to, it could also be one day we could celebrate love openly. Hehe...corny much? I know. It doesn't hurt that the year before, Leon did the sweetest thing anyone's ever done - he showed up at my house with homemade (which he made himself) heart chocolates and a bouquet of red roses, while I gave him a Starbucks stainless steel tumbler (yes yes, I know, but he wanted one)

I planned this shoot a few days in advance, with a different setting and prop in mind. Actually I really wanted to buy a single helium heart balloon and take shots on a staircase, but Leon and I never got the time...hence...improvise! I took this near my house, in a deserted wood and the gardens. This bright red flower made for a great prop. So, how do you plan to spend your Valentine's?? Let me know...hope you enjoy your day with your significant other, family and friends,

Till next time,
