C is for Cookie and Collaboration, Part One

Holidays 2011

There is something so classic about red and white when winter chills are in the air, and when those classic colors come in a nutty cookie, even better! When that cookie is cause for collaboration…better still!

The Cookie….

The Collaboration!

Once upon a time, I posed in front of the camera- Adam’s camera! There was a designer, a hairstylist, a make up artist- the whole works! A few years passed, and Adam and I reconnected at the local source for world class coffee (where else?!?). I was working on a blog post (what else?!?), and I sought Adam’s opinion as a photographer whose work I respected (which is saying A LOT coming from this little critic). He was impressed and excited by my food styling, and shortly thereafter, a collaboration was born! We both see the world in terms of props, lighting, the perfect shot and after all that, eating really good food! Working together gives us both a new point of view and a chance to learn from each other. On a surprisingly sunny day in November, the collaboration gave us some really great shots of some delicious cookies.

C’est moi…

About Adam Milliron
(From Adam’s website)

Today, one of the hardest tasks of a photographers’ job is setting your work apart from anyone who owns a camera and snaps photos with it. I always thought this was a challenge, to show others what I can do – until I realized that there is more to a photo than what meets the eye. I am creating a brand, an idea, a feeling, and often a lifestyle through my images. You learn to use lighting and composition as your canvas, creating images that make you happy and move brands forward.
