As much as Jennifer Garner has enjoyed her near-daily shopping trips with daughter Violet Affleck, the actress seems to be delighted to be putting her mom hat to the side, if only for a few hours, while shooting Valentine’s Day in L.A. on Wednesday.

The film, which co-stars Patrick Dempsey, is the first movie Jen has worked on since the Jan. 6 birth of her baby girl Seraphina Rose Affleck.
