Winter Fruit

Pomegranates and Persimmons from a photo clients ranch

Apples are from a family members ranch!

No process or recipe for this post! BUT I am back after a while of not writing on here. Things have been a bit crazy since the Monday before Thanksgiving. I made Thanksgiving boxes, and I have been taking so many family photos this season.

I have learned a lot through the past couple of weeks. As for the boxes, I need to make it easier the next time I do them. No more pop tarts or biscuits. These things need to be eaten the day of or the day after being made. They don’t taste as good. So, because I’m crazy, I’m doing a cookie box! I’m only doing a VERY limited amount, though. Mainly for friends and family because it’s becoming too much for me to handle.

ALSO, I won’t be doing these boxes year-round. These are strictly Holiday fun. I also won’t be advertising for custom orders. Not saying I won’t make it, but I’ve realized this is not the direction I want to go in. I had to try it, right??

I definitely want to be a food photographer and style food. All of which needs the tools that I have been stashing away in my tool belt the past couple of months. I need to know how to cook and bake to do what I want to do. I’m not great at it, but I think I’m good enough to have a career in styling and photographing food.

Like I said before, this week, I’m making a cookie box and too excited about styling it! It won’t look like the box I’m selling because it will have so many different props, but it will still have the same cookies!

I’m thinking of doing:

Chewy chocolate chip

Peanut Butter Blossom

Christmas Crack

Lofthouse Cookies (if I can get the recipe right) I haven’t found the right recipe.

Maybe snickerdoodles.

I’m out. I’ll write again this week! I might make cardamom buns or even latkes. I’m still figuring it out!
