Ichigo Pie

I've been on a baking binge lately! Today I'm going to show you how I made one of my favorite pies - Strawberry Pie!

Step 1: THE CRUST

The science behind the perfect flaky crust is cold and fat. Literally.











Step 2: THE FILLING

This part was pretty easy. The only tricky part was boiling the dry ingredients together. Put in the cornstarch before the water starts to boil and mix it thoroughly. Otherwise, you'll end up with some globs of chewy gelatin (which I actually kind of enjoyed). Cut your strawberries and put the ugly ones on the bottom.











Step 3: WHIPPED CREAM

While your pie is settling in the refrigerator, you can make an easy whipped cream! All you need is heavy whipping cream and confectionary sugar. The trick is to whip the heavy whipping cream a little bit first before you add in the sugar. It allows the mixture to reach at peak faster. I don't really have measurements for this. You can just add whatever you like based on your desired sweetness.





Step 4: ADMIRE & EAT!

Look at your cute strawberry pie! Admire its perfectly flaky flaws and stare at its sweet, red glaze. Look at that fluffy, white cream! Now put them together and eat! So delicious!

Alaine & Ross

I've always been so hesitant to give wedding photography a shot. Don't have the right camera, the right tools, not my style, blah blah blah. Underneath it all, the majority of these excuses derived from laziness and fear. Laziness to get my butt up to get the tools I needed, and fear of taking horrible photos that would ruin a couple's most memorable day. This year, the perfect couple convinced me to take a chance and photograph their wedding! I hesitated at first, but then realized it was the perfect opportunity! The wedding was small, sweet, and intimate. It was held at the beautiful Santa Barbara Courthouse followed by a reception at the Santa Barbara Zoo! It was perfectly simple - with no bridal party or DJ. The bride's brother officiated the wedding and even played music through a playlist. There were so many personal touches that made it so charming and effortless.
