Vegetables and Doughnuts
I’ve been excited to post these photos. You probably recognize the older girl from my blog header above and also plastered on my website from last year’s sessions. These sisters are so darn cute they really should be Disney characters. Anyways, we planned this shoot back in February to go to the farmer’s market and our adorable pastry shop (a local gem thats been around for decades!) I get happy whenever I drive by it and see all of their colorful antique cookie jars lining the windows. It inspires me to start my own collection, although I’m sure david would have a thing or two to say about me turning our kitchen into an obnoxious display complete with clowns, windmills, Dorothy, and The Muppets.
I am prone to nightmares, and due to my extreme love of said cookie jars, it must have prompted my ridiculous dreams before the shoot. First I dreamed that I showed up at the pastry shop early for the session but all of the cookie jars were gone. So I went up to the counter and asked if I was at the right place and if so where were all the cookie jars?? They informed me that I was indeed at the right place but just yesterday they had decided to take down all of the cookie jars for good. To which I started bawling hysterically and raging like a mad woman at the poor counter clerk about the cookie jars being taken away when I had planned this shoot months ago!!! I startled myself awake and was seriously amused by my totally ballistic response in my dream. I lay there thinking, yikes, I must really love those cookie jars. I finally fell back asleep and proceeded to have another dream. This time I dreamed that I went back to the pastry shop to see in “real life” if the cookie jars were really gone or if I had just dreamed it. (I know, weird!) Anyway, in my dream I went there to check and of course, all the cookie jars were gone. So I cried and raged some more. Then the dream turned into me being lost on foot in the wilderness in a blizzard with the two girls I was photographing and trying to find our way to their parents. I’m going to go ahead and just stop now before you all think I am an absolute head case.

amy, I can’t believe we share such an affection for the “v” pastry shop! It has been my fav location for some years now…and my girls adore the cookie jars as much as you I am afraid! “stop! step away from the cookie jar!” I think I have heard that a million times before they force us to leave! (I never dared ask to have the girls climb on the counters though-you are more brave then me!!!) Love the colors in these….awesome!
