cupcakes and sweets

Today, I had my first paid photography shoot! It was for a local store which sells finely decorated cookies and cakes - for a mother's day online magazine.

I was excited to do it (and nervous), and it was a lot of fun, and I learned a lot, and I'm quite happy with results. :)

And I got a cupcake for morning tea, and cookies to take home. :)

Hopefully this is the first of many... :)
