Happy 4th of July Everyone! Over the years MK and I have gotten away from taking the unique photos we are known for. It's hard when you take up to 5,000 photos a week with our photography business. So, we have challenged ourselves to do a creative photo every Friday. We hope you enjoy!
Hitting The Ground Running
Welcome to one of the busiest weekends that I've experienced in quite some time. A nonstop weekend full of hair, makeup, weddings, and a boudoir shoot. I love getting to be a part of such a special day. Even though this weekend was more work than play, it was a blast! The wedding we had the privilege of photographing this weekend was so beautiful and we couldn't have asked for a nicer bridal party.
Sunday morning, I was at it again, doing hair, and airbrushing a beautiful bride in Leachburg. It may have been about an hour and a half to get there but what's better than jamming to some of your favorite music with the top down?
Without taking a second to breathe, had a trial run with an August bride, followed then by a Boudoir shoot.
I've always been a fan of hats, good thing I wear a lot of them!
Have an event coming up? Look like you just stepped off the beach by mixing liquid bronzer with a firming body cream, then massage it into your arms. It'll temporarily tighten your skin and give it a sunkissed glow.
Until next time...
A Sign Of Summer
I feel very lucky to live in an area that has four seasons. Believe me, this wasn't always the case. I could have easily moved to the West Coast and been happy. However, I get bored easy so over the years I have realized that us having the four seasons really has made me appreciate them all. Even Winter for like a week or so. Ha!
In my house growing up one true sign that summer was upon us was Zucchini Bread sitting on the counter. My Dad always had a huge garden that supplied basically everything, including giant zucchini's perfect for making this signature summer staple. I can still picture my Mom boiling the freshly picked green beans and having just got the most delicious zucchini bread from the oven.
Here is my easy zucchini bread recipe:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 2 1/2 cups white sugar
- 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups grated zucchini
- 1 cup chocolate chips...for some added pizzazz!
Mix it all together, grease the pan you choose typically in the shape of a rectangle, bake it on 325 for 50-60 minutes. Mine took a little longer so check it with a toothpick to make sure nothing is stuck to the wood when you pull it out.
Do you have a favorite summer recipe?
