Thanks for stopping by!

I love to celebrate beautiful things!   My interests include anything crafty, colorful and fun!  I love to travel, cook, craft, design, create, entertain, decorate, sew..and the list goes on.  Stunning images inspire me and I hope I can share a few things here that will inspire you too!

I have always loved photographs.  My grandma has always taken a million pictures and it inspired me from a young age.  With my first 110 camera I captured fun memories of family vacations and everyday activities.  Since having kids my focus has turned to the art of the portrait.  In my eyes the "perfect" portrait doesn't mean a creaseless shirt and stiff poses, but instead a twinkle in the eye and a glimpse into the soul. 

My specialty is children.  I love to capture them in their natural element.  I want to capture who your child is at this moment.  The little noses, funny smiles and dirt covered faces that make them the person that they are right now. 

My approach is VERY relaxed...very "photo journalistic."  I'm not a girl that likes to pose.  My idea of a perfect shoot is to meet you somewhere fun and let your kids play and be themselves while I fade into the background.  I believe it's those moments that you truly want to remember.   Anyone can take a picture.  I want to capture a moment and tell a story.  

I'd LOVE to come play with your little ones.  Think of a place where they are happiest.  Disneyland? Chuck E Cheese?  Krispy Kreme?  Think outside the box.  Let's get together and let them explore, get dirty and have some fun!  Those WILL be your cherished memories!   

Eat This: Recipe How to Make the Perfect Pizookie– Pizza Cookie

Wednesday, May 13, 2009 Posted in Eat This, Recipes, The Details, Uncategorized

Oreganos


THE ORiGiNAL PiZZA COOKiE
Now this will knock your socks off! A 1/2 pound of Chocolate Chip, White Chocolate Macadamia Nut, or Peanut Butter Chocolate cookie dough, slightly baked in a 6-inch pizza pan then topped with 3 scoops of vanilla bean ice cream. This baby serves 2-4. DO iT!




John and I have a favorite restaurant in AZ called Oregano’s.  YUM!!!  It is a DEFINITE stop on any trip to visit family and friends…maybe more than once!! ;)   All of their food is to die for (I highly recommend the thin crust pizza with spicy tomato sauce and pineapple and tomatoes as toppings, thanks Lani!!!) but the Pizza Cookie is the real show stopper.   Others have tried, but I don’t think anyone makes it as well as these guys.  Since we’re stuck all the way out in CA without a local Oreganos (we try and convince them to open one here every time we’re in town) that sometimes means months go by without the beloved Pizookie.  Well, I think I finally found something that will hold us over until we make our next trip.  Thanks Kristell!!!  This recipe makes some fantastic GIGANTIC cookies.  Just don’t pay too much attention to the Crisco in the ingredients or you might have a heart attack! ;)


(you can find 6″ cake pans at walmart for a few bucks in the wedding/cake decorating dept. and they are fun to have on hand to make these when some friends come over for game night or to watch TV)


Perfect pizookie

1 C Crisco (I use butter flavor)


1 C white sugar


1 C Brown Sugar


2 Eggs


1 tsp Vanilla


Mix Together

Add:


1 tsp baking soda


1 tsp salt


2 1/2 cups flour


bag of chocolate chips


(these are really good with white chocolate and macadamia nuts, and/or milk chocolate too!!!)

After you mix dough together put in the fridge for 30 minutes. 


Big Cookies: 1/3 cup of dough, bake for 17 1/2 minutes at 325


Regular Size at 350


Pizookie: 1/2 cup of dough in greased 6″ cake pan for 20 1/2 minutes if you like it mostly cooked, or 17 1/2 if you like it doughy at 325 degrees.   Top with Vanilla Ice Cream right out of the oven and serve immediately.


Enjoy!!


Have a great day!
