Fun with Cookies...and Garlic

The kiddo and I made cookies today and I thought I'd use that as an excuse to practice my food photography. You know, for when the cookbook world discovers me. :-)

I'm not a cook...my fantastic husband makes all the meals for us. But I must say that I am a decent baker. These chocolate chip cookies are my specialty, I get requests for them. Okay, only from the kiddo...but still. The recipe is super top secret, so you'll just have to stare longingly at the pictures...or book a session with Marcy Jordan Photography and maybe I'll bring some along for you to taste. What? A little bribery never hurt anyone, right? :-)

Best eaten straight out of the oven for maximum gooey-ness.

Don't worry, these last two were not used in the cookies...I just liked how the photos turned out.

Garlic...

...and apple.

My Kiddo

Those of you who know me personally have asked me why I don't have any pictures of my own kiddo on my website and blog. The answer is simple...the boy won't smile. In a picture, that is. He smiles all the time otherwise, but the minute I put my camera in front of my face...no more smile. He does that face I like to call "Teenage Tough Guy". If you have a teenage son, you know the face I'm talking about.

Happily, I captured a couple good ones of him without the frown...just snapshots, but I still love them. I have to thank his Grammy for these two pics. Last Saturday he had to get up early for a Band March-A-Thon to raise funds for a trip to Florida. His Grammy pledged a donation under the condition that she get a before and after picture.

Here you go Mom...and all of the internet. After he finds out I posted these, I'll probably never get another smile out of him again...so enjoy. LOL

Check out that shark tooth necklace. Scary. Oh, and the t-shirt says "Friends Don't Let Friends Play Woodwinds"...or something like that. He's a trumpet player. :-)
Here's the after shot...there are doughnuts in the bag. Looking pretty good after marching 5 miles, right?

Wedding Day - Annett & Jose

Annett & Jose's big day finally arrived on July 26! The wedding took place at beautiful City Place in Dallas. The day was filled with incredible moments...here are a couple of my favorite detail shots.

And just as they promised, the bride and groom filled the wedding and reception with fantastic music. Check out their grand entrance to the reception...Jose broke out the old school moves!

This couple definitely knows how to throw a great party.

Annett and Jose, I am so very honored that you chose Marcy Jordan Photography to help capture your wedding day memories.

Congratulations and best wishes!
