Sweet Tooth

A Twist on a Sweet Tooth


Chocolate Chips. Chocolate in general - many a woman's ultimate weakness. This week I had a sweet tooth and instead of going straight to Bulk Barn's chocolate aisle, I decided to bake cookies and book a spontaneous early morning shoot to get rid of this craving. 

I grabbed some barn board, the basic ingredients to make chocolate chip cookies, the cookies them self and the gear. I found some tear sheets on Pinterest that I repinned for inspiration, I keep an inspiration board on Pinterest called "Photography Love" that I update daily.

 I woke up before the sun the morning of the shoot, there is something about waking up at 5:30 that makes the day seem so much longer. I grabbed a Tim's (Roll up the Rim is back! - but it doesn't matter, because I never win anyways), and headed to the school. This cookie shoot was a difficult one. It was hard to organize a scattered look, but I managed to get the effect that I wanted after a couple hours. I thought it would be a good idea to make a diptych, so I stacked the cookies (that I shot on the floor - more difficult than you think) and put the two together for an organized - messy look.

I've really gotten into food photography lately, I am doing my co-op with a fantastic food photographer in Toronto in April, I am so excited to learn the techniques that Jodi Pudge Photography uses.
