I was lucky enough to photograph the yummy cupcakes for Wendy Paul’s new book, 101 Gourmet Cupcakes in 10 Minutes. Wendy is amazingly talented & basically the nicest human on planet earth. She is genuine & sweet & makes the best cupcakes ever!
I’m excited to announce that her book is now available online for purchase HERE. Go order one for yourself, slap on your apron, heat up your oven & get baking! And bring me a plate of cupcakes when you’re finished!

Those of you who know me know that I ain’t a whiz when it comes to baking. I try a new recipe and it almost always fails. I don’t have the patience, time or I just forgot to raise my hand when God asked who would like to have cooking skills in this life.
Luckily, there are amazingly talented people on earth like Wendy Paul. She is coming out with a SIMPLE & delicious cupcake cookbook so that even people like me can feel like Martha Stewart in the kitchen! The book is called, ‘101 Gourmet Cupcakes in 10 minutes.’
I had the amazing (and delicious!) opportunity to be the photographer for Wendy’s upcoming Cupcake Cookbook. Wendy is a fun & beautiful person who has such a great talent! Her cupcakes are to DIE FOR!!! I was able to taste as many of them as I wanted and every one of them was aammazzzzinnnnnngggg! She let me go home with four bags of cupcakes after the shoot and I ate EVERY.LAST.ONE.
Her cookbook of amazing cupcake recepies is coming out in August and I feel so blessed to have taken part in something so awesome! Wendy, thank you so much for this amazing opportunity. I can’t wait for the book to come out so I can finally learn to bake something delicious!
To view all the delicious cupcakes, go HERE.
P.S I’m pretty darn sure that I gained 5 pounds just from editing these photos……

I was so excited to open up this month’s edition of California Home & Design to find the work I did for Swallowtail published! Go and get yourself a copy of this month’s edition and see it for yourself! It’s an awesome magazine.
Also, this month the amazing Pauline Pearsall staging unveiled her updated and re-vamped website with photographs by yours truly. Just click on the links on the left where it says “photos.”


My friend Erik works at this awesome store in San Francisco called Swallowtail (click HERE to read all the fantastic Yelp reviews- people LOVE this place!) He contacted me to do a shoot for an upcoming ad they are running in California Home & Design Magazine as well as 7×7 magazine. It was an awesome shoot and I’m really happy with how it turned out. I think it will look fabulous for their ad! If you live nearby, seriously go and check this place out- I want to buy everything in the store!
