A long needed post

These three were for a stock image assignment:

"Soothing" (even though I hate oatmeal... this is typically a soothing food)



Just because they are pretty! (I love the whiteish one)

Strawberry Short Cake

My little brother loves strawberry short cake and since his birthday was on Saturday I decided to try a new recipe. I also needed a beautiful photograph to send to someone random for one of my classes. The cake turned out great considering it was my first layered cake. Connor loved it too, so I'm pretty pleased with myself!

The Latest Projects

Here are a couple projects I've been working on lately. The first is a magazine spread that I mimicked from Real Simple. I did the photos and styling but did not invent the recipes :). The second image is a composite I'm working on for my digital imaging class. Concept.... weight loss... eating healthy (something I'm not good at).






I haven't spent enough time on the shadows so those will be changing quite a bit. I feel like the top half looks pretty convincing though!

Chocolate before 10:00 AM

This morning my first class was canceled which meant I would be getting up with Kevin at 7:00 but I wouldn't be leaving until 9:30. So I decided to put my time to good use. I made the first half of a chocolate dish that will soon be pictured here. I'm making a series of chocolate desserts for one of my projects and turning them into a Real Simple article. This is some homemade hot chocolate I made as one of the desserts.

Omelet and Cookies

This is the edited version of the previous omelet image. I was trying to match the image on the recipe (you can click the link on the previous post to see the image). My lighting is very different but I feel like I got the coloring about right which was my goal.



These are for a "text" assignment we did in my Advanced Photography Class. I'm not in love with the actual text but I think the idea works pretty well.
