I'm so excited to share with you that I recently published a cookbook! When I was in college, my dream was to become a food photographer. I had an internship at a studio that photographed for a major food brand, but when I graduated they didn't have any openings. I landed an awesome job as a retoucher and product photographer. Every year, I would bake special treats for my co workers and enter the yearly baking competition (and won three times!!). I loved baking for my family and friends. I think I got the habit from my mom, who always would bake treats for all her friends. Every year when I was growing up, we would bake massive amounts of cookies to give to our friends, neighbors and co workers. Every year, I would talk about wanting to make a cookbook of all our favorite dessert recipes along with beautiful photographs of them all. But I just never seemed to find enough time to get started. Finally last year, I decide that I would have to find the time, it was not going to magically appear. I started with a goal of photographing one recipe a month. Sometimes I was successful and other times not so much (hello busy season)! But I kept going and I began to share my food photos online. Soon my friends started asking when this cookbook would be coming out. I had only intended it to be for my family, a few books, maybe 10. Well so far, I've sold over 50 books and I cannot believe it! Thank you to everyone who has supported this passion project of mine! Here are a few of my favorite photos from the cookbook! If you like delicious, nostalgic treats that are easy to make, this cookbook is perfect for you! It has over 30 recipes with beautiful photographs and easy to follow instructions.
