My friend Jenny has started a cupcake business in Denver called Perfect Serendipity. She needed some photos she could use for her website, marketing, advertising etc and I was glad to help out! We set up this weekend as the time for the shoot and after spending an hour or two of chasing trains (long story), I stopped off at her house to make some pictures.
Jenny had stayed up until 2AM the night before making as many different cupcakes on her menu as she could. Let me say – the kitchen was loaded with baked goods. I could see this was going to be a great day – someone would have to sample these right?
We spent about two hours taking photos of the cupcakes and then started working on a bio photo for her website. I’m not the strobist, but I like to think I’m pretty decent with artificial light. This bio shot was causing me fits though! After several different attempts, we had a few shots we liked but I could tell, I hadn’t blown anyone’s skirts up yet. It was then that James, Jenny’s boyfriend said as he was heading to the local watering hole to watch a ball game “Hey, why don’t you try one of Jenny leaning on the counter? See ya later”. Hrm – OK. We set up the shot and WOW, it came out great. Thanks James!
There were plenty of chores to do at home – like mow the lawn, clean the garage, fix one of T’s antiques – so we called it a day at about 2PM. I just got done processing the photos and sent them off to Jenny. I hope she likes them – I think they came out pretty good. =)
