Sophie and I had a great time with this shoot. She's into theater, has a great sense of style and an even better personality. :)

Virginia Bakery Remembered

Hi, friends!

I've had this exciting news bouncing around in my head for awhile now, something that I've only shared with select close friends-- until now, that is! It's time to tell all of you about it. :)

In November of last year I began to work on a special project, shooting food photography. I was given the opportunity to shoot dozens of tasty treats for a book by Cynthia Beischel & Tom Thie. The book pays tribute to Virginia Bakery, a popular establishment run by the Thie family from 1927 to 2005 in Clifton (Cincinnati, Ohio) and includes recipes for many of their most famous (and delicious!) baked goods.

I worked with Cynthia and Tom for months-- shooting, editing, and sampling the foods for the recipes. ;) Now, it's finally time to share the finished product! The book is finished, I believe it's officially released as of this weekend, and it marks my first official publication in a book! Very exciting for me! :)

Virginia Bakery Remembered (ISBN # : 1609491149) can be bought online at these links:

Amazon

Borders

As someone who ate many of the baked goods that were photographed for this project, trust me when I say-- it's worth checking out!

Due to contractual agreements, I haven't been able to post any of the photos from the project yet. I'll be sure to share a few selections once I'm able to do so! Stay tuned! :)
