ASSIGNMENT
An editorial recipe story (5 Easy-Peasy Desserts to Sweeten Up Valentine’s Day and Beyond) featuring quintessential chocolate covered strawberries, chocolate truffles rolled in cocoa and chopped nuts, spiced Mexican hot chocolate, raspberry-studded chocolate mousse cake, and chic goblets of sparkling rosé wine. We were encouraged to hard lean into Valentine’s Day decor while steering away from red and instead diving into dainty pinks, deep purples, luscious magentas, and shiny gold accents. Cue the confetti, doileys, and florals!

ASSIGNMENT
An editorial recipe story (5 Favorite Backyard BBQ Recipes) featuring easy, approachable summertime dishes: grilled chicken thighs, teriyaki vegetable kebabs, grilled salmon steaks, BBQ tofu, and mushroom cheeseburgers. Pastel pops of color, gingham-checkered tablecloths, scalloped-shaped accents, plus fresh florals cut from the ‘grandma’s garden’ were thoughtfully styled together in this brightly lit (but in a natural sun-drenched way!) to evoke the feeling of summer sunshine.
