Fake fire burning in the fireplace. Mantel full of cake. Welcome to a look behind the scenes of a food photography shoot.
{Coming Attractions}: Muddy’s Menu Photos
Yesterday, I began [what will be] an on-going project to help Muddy’s Bake Shop get their menu photos up to date. I’ll leak a few shots and behind the scene images here and there as we go along. Muddy’s Menu Photos: Session Numero Uno proved to be one big collaboration fest between me, Muddy’s owner Kat, and VP of operations/manager of awesome, Kip. So fun! If you thought working around these treats every day was my dream job? Take that dream, amend it to include photographing them, and you’ll find me. You know, living the dream.
Out of Season {Pumpkin Love}
Pentax K20D • Pentax SMCP-FA 50mm f/1.4
My love for pumpkin-related baked goods cannot be contained to just the months when pumpkin is technically in season or traditionally used for cooking. It’s nearly August, and in the Mid-South region of the U.S., the heat indexes are in the triple digits. I am hoping that a pumpkin pie -though out of season- will help usher in thoughts of autumn with its crispy air, its clear blue skies, and the cozy scarves I like to wear when it comes ’round.
If not, at least it’ll be autumn for my TASTE BUDS, right??
Seis de Mayo!!! [Mini Cupcakes]
Mini margarita cupcakes. Perfect for Cinco de Mayo. Or for Seis de Mayo, when you don’t have time to bake on the 5th of May.
I had so much fun setting up my little food photography shoot with these cupcakes. I chose the deep, jewel-toned cupcake liners specially for these little treats because I knew they would make the cupcakes look as festive as they tasted. And, hey, my friends who recieved boxes of these for Seis de Mayo pressies didn’t seem to mind that I was taking Cinco de Mayo celebrations into extra innings!
