Photo Shoot Day

I've mentioned it before, but the reason I like my job and life is that I do lots of different things.  Today is another one of those days.  I received an email from a very nice sounding woman named Joan Durbin who is a writer for several North Metro newspapers and magazines.  She is writing a story on recipes for summer that can be made by parents and kids and she wanted to include a recipe from me with pictures.   

I of course said yes and had a photographer at the house this afternoon. 

In the morning I cleaned off the counters of extra things that I use but that don't need to be in pictures.  It does not look so uncluttered usually but I had to give him room to stand and shoot!

I went to the store for ingredients for 2 batches of the recipe because of course I have to have a finished product for pictures and then have to have some in process pictures.  I could make one recipe, but it seems unnecessary to have the photographer wait until the item comes out of the oven.  He has work to do too!

I didn't know who was coming until I got a call this afternoon from Todd saying he was a little early, could he come to the house.  I was ready and had just taken the one pie out of the oven so of course he could come.

He got to the house a little before 2, took some sample shots, then I made the recipe, he shot pictures and he was done.  We were done about 2:30.  I asked if I could take pictures of him and he was very nice and said yes.  So here's Todd sampling the pie, he took the rest back to the office!

Now I can relax and wait for the paper to come out next week.  Look for me!
