An Afternoon with Addison

I have a magical place in my house that always has incredible light. Addison came to play the other day while Annie ran some errands, so I decided while she was gone to take a few pictures. As you can see, the light is amazing!

 

My new Frame Account

So I just got a GREAT frame account that I wanted to share with everyone. I know you have all seen these frames around in various boutique and speciality gift stores. Anyway, I decided that whenever someone buys a frame, I will include the picture to go with it! Any size, what a deal! I am including a picture and link to the web-site so you can all see the many styles and sizes that these wonderful frames come in. Happy looking:)

 

Wednesdays with my "little darlings"

Because I have such a busy schedule, I decided a long time ago that if I did not take one day a week to spend with my granddaughters, I probably would not see them. So Wednesdays are our day! I LOVE Wednesdays, it is my favorite day of the week! As Ella and Sophia get a little older I thought it would be fun to start teaching them how to cook. And so, each Wednesday I plan something new and hopefully fun for them to learn. Several weeks ago we made fruit pizzas. Sophia was very tired this particular day so she missed out:( Anyway, Ella had so much fun creating her very own pizzas. She actually did a very good job. I have a great recipe that I thought I would share and a few short-cuts! So here is the recipe and some pictures of our day making fruit pizzas!

Fruit Pizza

1 cup butter
1 cup powdered sugar
1/3 cup sugar
1 egg
21/2 cups flour
21/2 teaspoons baking soda
21/2 teaspoons cream of tarter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Frosting
16 oz. cream cheese
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fresh fruits of choice: peaches, strawberries, kiwi, bananas, grapes, apples, Mandarin oranges or any berry

Orange Glaze
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup Orange juice
1/4 cup lemon juice (use fresh)
1/4 teaspoon grated orange peel
1/4 teaspoon grated lemon peel
4 teaspoons cornstarch

Preheat over to 350
Cream butter and sugars together until light and fluffy in a large bowl. Add egg, vanilla and almond extracts. Combine dry ingredients and add to creamed mixture. Divide dough in half. With lightly floured hands  pat dough onto two greased pizza-type pans. Bake for 12-15 minutes.
To prepare frosting whip the cream cheese, powered sugar and vanilla. Spread mixture over cooled crust. Arrange fruit.
Combine orange glazed mixture all together. Cook over medium heat until mixture thickens. Stir in orange and lemon rind. After glaze has completely cooled drizzle over
fruit pizza and chill for at least one hour before serving.
The orange glaze in this recipe is what sets it apart from all other fruit pizza recipes. It is FABULOUs!
My secert short cut is to order sugar cookies un-frosted from Granite bakery.They will make a cookie as large as a 14 inch round or you can do these as individual cookies. Either why the cookies are very soft and delicious!
Take a day to make these with someone you love!!

Allison and KC

We all have our lists of favorites. Favorite foods, favorite places to shop (mine is Anthropologie) favorite places to travel, and as a photographer, favorite clients. Allison and KC were right up at the top of my list of favorite weddings to photograph. They made my day and my job so effortless. What a pleasure it is to work with two people that are so madly in love! I haven't edited their wedding yet, but wanted to share just  a few moments from their special day!
