How To Improve Your Food Photography in 5 Steps

Hi! I’m Jennifer and I LOVE to bake, style, and photograph beautiful desserts–I also have an eternal weakness for pastels, berries, and silky buttercreams.

What brings me even more joy is sharing my love of baking with others. Whether that is through recipe development, decorating how-tos, or food photography tips, I want to share everything I have learned with YOU!

I believe in creating food with high quality ingredients and making it look GORGEOUS. I also believe that every dessert deserves a photoshoot, and that food is meant to be shared.

And butter; I believe in lots of butter.

Today, I turn 30! THIRTY. 😱 I’ve officially e

Today, I turn 30! THIRTY. 😱 I’ve officially entered into a whole new decade. As eventful and exciting as my 20s were, I’m actually OK with saying goodbye to them. But before I say adios, I just wanted to do a fun recap what happened in my 20s:

I turned 20 while at Bible school in Germany. It was where I met my husband and was probably the best year of my life.

We then started our long distance relationship.

I got my associates degree in Social Sciences (yeahhh, not using that at all today haha!)

Got engaged! 💍

Went to culinary school (that was so fun) near Niagara Falls.

Got married, had a big outdoor wedding and my bridesmaids wore pastels.

Moved to the USA and honeymooned at DisneyWorld.

Worked 3 different chef jobs, (never getting that bakery job I always wanted).

Got a digital camera for Christmas and started taking photos of my baking just for fun.

Started selling my baking/even made wedding cakes!

Launched my food blog and got paid by brands to content create for them.

Ate out at the most incredible restaurants and had soo much brunch and southern cuisine. 🤤

Explored and fell in love with some amazing places in the US like Charleston, NYC, and Alys Beach.

Moved back to my hometown in Canada.

Bought a 1970s house.

Gave birth to a baby boy. 🥰

Celebrated our 6 year wedding anniversary!

And oh yes, backed our van into our garage door. 💁🏼‍♀️

Hello 30!! 💕

I think it’s safe to say that 2020 has been toug

I think it’s safe to say that 2020 has been tough on everyone. ❤️ So I say that this month we give ourselves grace in the kitchen. At this point any delicious homemade treat, no matter how easy/simple the recipe may be, is such a WIN and should be celebrated!   My recipe for Puppy Chow is my favourite treat to make this time of year and it’s SO EASY. (And before we go any further—it’s for humans, not doggos!😅)

Let’s take the time to celebrate any and everything we whip up in the kitchen and enjoy indulging in these delicious treats with our families.   And your kiddos will love participating in making the Puppy Chow! (And let’s be honest, any situation that involves powdered sugar and kids is always a recipe for a mess, but it’ll be a beautiful mess!)  With just 6 everyday ingredients and one pot, this might be the easiest recipe EVER. 🙌🏻 I documented the whole thing in my stories for you to watch just how simple it is!  I’m so happy for this partnership with @SaveOnFoods and for the great reminder to celebrate all the little wins and beautiful messes despite the exhausting year we’ve had! 💕

Are you gonna make this? 🥰  RECIPE:  3/4 cup Butter 1 1/2 cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips 3/4 cup Peanut Butter 1 tsp Vanilla Extract 1 box Crispix Cereal (or Chex) 2 1/2 cups Powdered Sugar  In a large pot melt the first 4 ingredients together until smooth. Remove from heat, pour in cereal and gently stir until evenly coated. Dump in powdered sugar and with the lid securely on the pot, shake shake shake! Once cooled, store in containers or baggies at room temp, fridge, or freezer. (They taste really good chilled!) Enjoy!!  #SaveOnFoods #MyWesternFamily @WesternFamilyCA #LetTheHolidaysBegin

I baked these vanilla bean sugar cookies a year ag

I baked these vanilla bean sugar cookies a year ago and I’m still in love with them. 😍 Those vanilla bean specks in the cookies and that pastel pink colour palette is what my sugar cookie dreams are made of. 💕

I’d totally eat these for breakfast. Would you??

If you’re looking for a sugar cookie recipe with buttercream frosting, head to my site! You’ll find it under Recipes! Happy baking!! 🥰

Is there a certain dish/dessert that just intimida

Is there a certain dish/dessert that just intimidates you like crazy? One that makes you think “oh I could NEVER make that!”?

One of those desserts for me was cream puffs (choux pastry). But with 2020 being such a strange year with more time spent at home than ever, I’m proud to say that I’ve conquered cream puffs TWICE this year! 🥰

Even though they’re definitely not perfect looking, they taste amazing!! And also, I feel super proud of myself for taking on this challenge and learning something new!

Baking is such a great activity at home with family and I really encourage it! Don’t take it too seriously and just have fun with experimenting. ❤️ Head to @SaveOnFoods to pick up the quality ingredients you need to tackle that certain dessert you’ve been too intimidated to try!

Have you ever made cream puffs/choux pastry before? Check out my stories to see the process!
