I believe each and everyone of us has a calling in life. I was sure that mine was being a dietitian, helping people lose weight, and help them feel better about there body perceptive. Don’t get me wrong I still love helping people, but lately I find that taking photos makes me happier. Just setting a beautiful set and shooting pretty things, it can be food, shoes, jewelry, and even pencils. If I can make something already pretty, look even more beautiful, then I’m all in.In the last year photography became my new obsession. I started the blog a year ago, with a lot of ambition, and very little knowledge in photography. Thanks to the love of my life A I found that photography is much more than clicking the shutter. I learned to look… sounds weird right? but looking at things now, is way different for me than ever before. I can see the little things, I know how to look at light, and fix it to my will. I know that an apple could be photographed in more than 100 different ways, each one would lead to a perfect photo.This post is one of the loveliest I ever photographed. The recipe is Danas, one of the best pastry chefs I know. And if you don’t know her you should really follow her on Instagram.I love linzer cookies, there’s something simple and classic to this cookies. They always remind me of a late winter-y after noon of drinking tea, and eating cookies when I was a child. This are classic, with light almond pastry dough, delicious fillings and lots of powdered sugar on top. You should definitely try this ASAP!!
