I'm into the 4th week of my food photography course, courtesy of Sears Grilling. This week, our assignment was to photograph three meals, in the process of being grilled, from a variety of angles, lighting, etc.
This assignment wasn't about the steps or the recipe, it was just about the actual grilling, so please excuse the lack of recipes and step-by-step instructions. I do hope you'll enjoy seeing some of the shots I captured:
Vegas Beauty Event: iBlowdry
I'm aware I might be the last woman on earth to know what a "blowout" is, but I had one done for the first time and I wrote up a post to share all the fun details.

Maraschino Cherry Ice Cream Sandwiches
I love challenges -- especially food challenges -- and I love to great creative with food.
Recently, I was given the opportunity to create a dessert recipe inspired by one of the new Renuzit Tempting Indulgences air freshener cones. Not your typical challenge, right?

And this is a story about how I almost missed it.
But, let me first make sure that you know who Sofia Vergara is. She plays the beautiful Gloria Delgado-Pritchett, wife to Jay and mom to Manny, on the hit ABC TV show, Modern Family.

Shopping for a New Grill at Sears
I'm into my second week of my Sears Grilling Photography class and as promised, I'm sharing all of my assignments right here on my blog. This week, we learned more about the path-to-purchase process.

My family and I will be buying a new grill at Sears soon, so I headed to our local Sears to take photos of my process. I thought it would be fun to
