  • Behind The Scenes - Cake Photography

  • Today I'm pulling back the curtain and giving you a quick glimpse to how I photograph food, specifically Apple Cinnamon Pound Cake. I love photographing food!  This specific photoshoot was 100% for fun!  I tested two lighting setups and tested a brand new tethering cable I had received.  For those who are interested, [...]
  • Elvis Presley's PB&B Sandwich

  • I love participating in photo challenges and this week the theme at Daytripper photo is to photograph something that has to do with legendary musician Elvis Presley.  This challenge reminded me that as a kid my mother often played Elvis's music in our family home, she is a huge fan!  I remember her telling us one day w[...]
  • Easter Egg Fun

  • The way food colouring absorbs into the shell of a hardboiled egg is beautiful!  The colouring reveals the textures, the bumps and dimples that the stark white shell normally hides from sight.  There is also something magical about the colourful tones and patterns in an Easter egg design that I just love it!  So I deci[...]
  • Something Sweet - A Valentine Treat

  • Tomorrow is February 14th Valentine's Day.  It's a day for people to show their love, affection and friendship for others in their life, and I think it comes at the perfect time of year.  February typically contains the coldest days of winter and by celebrating Valentine's Day we are able to bring a little bit of warmt[...]
  • A Little Sweet Friday Treat

  • It's a beautiful sunny Spring day, but it feels so much like Summer already.  Something that reminds me of summer is cookies and an ice cold glass of milk.  It's the perfect treat after a day of working, playing in the park, lounging by the pool, or reading a book in the garden. Oh lookie here!  I have some cookies [...]
  • Happy First Day of Spring!

  • Today is technically the first day of Spring.  There is a drizzling rain / snow mix falling outside, I'm still wearing a turtleneck sweater and long socks, but I'm looking forward to what Spring will bring.  The temperature will begin to rise and melt the snowbanks, the rain will wash away the sand and ugly cigarette b[...]
  • Deliciously Purple

  • Recently I had the opportunity to photograph some incredibly beautiful cakes. They were made by an up and coming cake baker / decorator named Trish. She's very talented! I first saw one of Trish's cakes at a birthday party. It was two layers, looked stunning and tasted amazing! I knew at that moment that we ha[...]
  • Waiting For My Kitchen

  • My husband and I moved into our first home this week and I have a beautiful book that I can not wait to unpack from all of our moving boxes. It's called "Seasons" by Donna Hay. Yesterday we submitted the order for our dream kitchen and in 4-5 weeks I'll have this wonderful book cracked open on my new kitchen counter [...]
  • Sightseeing - Lunenburg, Nova Scotia

  • It's such a rainy and gloomy winter day today, so I decided to take a look through my photos of sunny places I've recently visited. I can't believe that I haven't shared these yet! Last September my husband and I traveled to Halifax and got the oppourtunity to spend a day in a cute old town named Lunenburg. The orig[...]
  • New Business Cards

  • I'm so excited to share some news!  I've received a new pack of business cards!  The last pack I had disappeared so quickly that I didn't get a chance to share them online.  So I've snapped some quick picts to share with all of you. I made these cards through moo.com.  What I love about them is that each card has a di[...]
  • Peter Rabbit Cupcake Decorating Kit

  • Last month while shopping at Williams-Sonoma I came across this cute cupcake decorating kit and had to buy it.  I love the design and storybook charm.  It instantly made me remember reading Beatrix Potter books as a kid.  This set would be a great addition to any young child's birthday party.  They are adorable and wou[...]
