To keep things interesting when I do a photo shoot after Jolene bakes something up, I try to use a different lens each time. I think I have used seven different lenses on her sweets now. For the above photo I used my 50mm f/1.2 manual lens. I have only used this lens a couple times since purchasing it over craigslist for a ridiculously low price. I don’t know why I don’t use it more often as it takes fantastic photos with creamy backgrounds at f/1.2. The manual focus is actually a fun change of pace too.

I enjoyed a birthday cake (for someone else’s birthday) from Jolene’s Sweets this past weekend. I also had one of her scones, and I’m quite certain it was the best scone I have ever had.

Today’s photo is of a box of cookies from last month.

Jolene whipped up some more of her creations yesterday. The one in focus in today’s photo is her Chocolate Turtle Cake, a rich, three-layer dark chocolate cake frosted with rich creamy fudge, caramel, and toasted pecans.

Later today I’m going to be photographing some of Jolene’s sticky buns, but I’ll leave you with these cookies for now. Santa will be very pleased with these cookies and some milk so place your order soon.
