Sugar Babies Bakery…Yum Yum

A good fellow-photog-friend called me last week and told me she badly injured her “trigger finger” for the camera…and asked if I would fill in for her Product Photography assignment for Sugar Babies Bakery. That three letter title, Sugar Babies Bakery, was enough for me to say yes!

This is an awesome family locally owned and operated business. Lance is the business manager/dishwasher, Sonya is the master baker, and their three kids are their trusty assistants. I love to see local business run with such care and commitment.

Below I have featured just 2 of their very, delicious and tasty cakes that I photographed. I picked these two to show off because they were supposed to be mine. The one of the left was a coffee flavored cake that you just have NO IDEA how good it was. I accidentally left the cake at our first session location. SO BUMMED! But Lance and Sonya offered to replace that one for a Chocolate Rassberry cake, which looked like it was worth every calorie. And, once again, I accidentally left it at our second session location. In fact, I got all the way home bragging to friends about how I was going to have a fantastic dessert that evening, before I realized it wasn’t in the car. 🙁 How sad was I….

And I must not forget to mention all the product taste testers. This is superior quality control here. I think they all approved. 🙂

Breakin’ out the gum. …which, if you’ve ever blown bubbles with Bubbalicious…you already know it takes a lot of chewing to get soft enough for decent bubble blowing.

Successful 4th of July!

This year had a rockin’ 4th. We had a good time visiting with Matt’s family at the Anderson-May 75th anniversary family reunion in Topeka, KS…and then we ended the evening in Eudora hangin’ out with our favorite group of friends. Perfect.

Sweet Katelyn

Today I had the pleasure of photographing one of the latest additions to this world. Katelyn is 3 weeks old and total cuteness! And to my happy surprise, her parents have lots of splashes of color around their house…which made photographing her in her own environment a blast!

My litte corner of the world…

My gosh I am so behind on Blogging. Here’s some awesome memories that I’d rather blog late than not at all.

So, I have to explain these first few a bit. Matt and I went to pick up the kiddos from my grandma’s house (aka: Chaotic Circus of Kids) and found them, with their cousins, in the backyard…in their “hottub”. Yeah. That’s right. The trash container. Apparently, they weren’t satisfied with 3 hours of swimming at the public pool. They felt compelled to fill up the trash can and soak some more. At least my grandma had insisted it was cleaned out first. Crazy backyard gang.

I love this one. This is exactly how I feel after a long day entertaining the kids.

Just like a cardboard box will provide more entertainment to a kid than any store bought toy, this gang never ceases to surprise me with their entertainment.

And then the next day, my sweet hubby turned a quarter of a century old. Don’t let his age fool you…he’s an old man at heart. haha

BTW, I made that delicious gigantic cupcake. I know…major “cool-Wife” points.
