I'm not going to starve at college!

My mom just got a job teaching high school Family and Consumer Science! She can now teach her amazing cooking skills to the world. She asked me to take some pictures of her food and they turned out pretty good! Then again, how can my mom's cinammon rolls not look AMAZING! They're so delicious. She also made a pasta dish. Both were very fun to photograph! So all of this food photography got me thinking about college. Although I LOVE cereal, one can only eat it for so long. I did some searching on the internet and found a food blog that had this amazing recipe for chipolte shredded beef taquitos. They are delicious. I can now rest assured that I will actually eat more then cereal at college......that is if I can afford it!

Below is the link for the taquito recipe. They are very tasty. My one piece of advice for this recipe is you need to quickly fry the tortillas. I tried for twenty minutes to get the tortillas to not break. Simply heat a sautee pan with a little oil in it and put the tortilla in it and flip it to the other side. The heat makes the tortillas pliable. Make sure you let them sit for a few seconds after you take them out of the oil. You don't want to burn yourself.

Ding Dong the Bells Are Gonna Chime...Kind Of...

So I got to photograph a wedding!...kind of. This is Brooke and her wedding reception. The funny thing is...she isn't getting married until June. Brooke's family has lived here for quite some time but they are moving to Connecticut. So, her and her fiancée had a reception here in advance. The reception was a blast. At first, I took some family and couple pictures outside and they turned out beautiful. Then the scary part. I had to photograph inside! I borrowed a nice lens and a flash diffuser but it took me a little bit to get used to the indoor lighting to get the photos to look just right. Eventually I got the flash to do something I was happy in and overall the pictures turned out nice. Plus I had a ton of fun shooting!!!

THE START OF SOMETHING NEW!

I am terrible at keeping a journal so...I gave up. This is my version of a journal and I personally think it counts. Anyways. Welcome to the crazy world of me and my business. Lets see how good I can get at this. And for all of you who don't know me I would like to say hi! I'm Michelle! I'm one of six kids and I and currently the aunt of the cutest little boy in the world (not that I'm biased or anything). I enjoy theatre, music, and photography and I plan on attending BYU-Provo in the fall. Below is a picture of me :)
