If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you’ll know that I LOVE to bake! In fact, I actually got my start practicing photography on all the treats I would put together in the kitchen and would regularly blog them before I had enough sessions to fill my schedule!

The previous evening’s forecast mentioned the threat of possible thunderstorms that morning, but we were greeted with a cool, dry morning.
