Sneak Peak: Kaja & Tomek Engaged

I am happy to present you a sneak peak of the engagement photoshoot with Kaja and Tomek. I have taken these photos over two weeks ago but it wasn't until now that I have I found a spare minute to upload at least one picture. In fact, this couple is getting married tomorrow and I am honored to be capturing their wedding and reception. All the best to you, Kaja and Tomek!

Bury the Berry

I decided to compose the first enrty in this blog using my recent culinary photography. Now, such a venture binds me to post a recipe for these divine cupcakes, doesn't it? Since I think it does, you can find it on the bottom of this page, so crawl down and enjoy!

- 400 g vanilla cream cheese

- 1 cup berries (blueberries) (3/4- smashed, 1/4- to garnish)
