Sedona + Maven . Hermosa Beach family photographer

Can a photo session include reading books, playing card games, telling stories on your rooftop deck, and going for a stroll through your town?  Of course!  This was a very fun session, with such a wonderful family.  Enjoy!

Missy Marie Photography . Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

holiday cookie exchange pin_rev

I am so excited to be a part of a cookie exchange blog hop where I get to share a favorite cookie recipe!  The most awesome Paper & Cake put this fun idea together, and this week, you can gather up some cookie recipes to bake for your family, or for holiday gifts!

My girls and I made a batch of chocolate chip cookies.  This is a little combo of the traditional Toll House recipe paired with the Cuisinart Mixer cook book. Here it is:

Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup butter

2 eggs

1 ½ teaspoons vanilla

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

3 cups all-purpose flour

12 ounces milk chocolate chips

 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees; Combine flour baking soda & salt in small bowl. Beat sugars, butter, eggs, and vanilla in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto baking sheets.

 

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.

What a wonderfully awesome couple.  I so enjoyed getting to know these two, and capturing their love and fondness for each other.  I love that they both have such awesome senses of humor…they kept me on my toes all day.  Great couple!

I love taking pictures of people…of personalities, of love, of relationships, of connections, of giggles and of real life. Sometimes beauty takes on a bit of messiness, but in the end, you will be able to see the real and authentic love that you and your people have for one another. And that…is what matters.
