Well, well. It’s been absolutely insane around here the last 3 weeks. We’ve had so many happy faces (with maybe one or two exceptions) grace the studio this year and I wanted to take another moment to thank each and every one of you for the memories.

I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to be a part of each of your lives and to capture your precious moments. With this Christmas bearing down like a freight train, there’s still more work left to be done. In fact, with sessions scheduled up to the last minute, Ho Ho Ho will be a sprint to the finish line, as we wrap up this holiday season.

But as we get ready for the big day, it’s with a heart full of joy and peace that I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Here’s hoping we”ll see y’all back here again soon. And, if you haven’t had the opportunity to have a portrait session at M&M Studio, 2012 is looking like the best time to hang a memory or two on your walls, and I hope you’ll give us a chance to wow you, share a giggle or two and say cheese at M&M. After all, we are family!

Below are but a few of the many pics we caught recently, and I just wanted to share with y’all the joy that has been such a wonderful time had by all at M&M.

 

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Santa sessions with the Official Denham Springs Santa Photographer

We had soooo much fun with our Santa and Holiday sessions this past Saturday. Everyone was warmly welcomed and excited to see the big man himself and I think the kids, each and every…. well, mostly each one, had a great time. ;-) Below are a few of the images captured.

Unfortunately for a few who came for the late afternoon sessions, I had a little special visit I had to make to the ER for one of my children that was injured at his Granny’s house. I want to apologize to those that may have been inconvenienced by this unfortunate event. I am happy to report that after a few staples to his precious head, he’s going to be just fine.

That said, we look forward to seeing those that re-scheduled, as well as quite a few who’ve been so kind and understanding to schedule for the Santa sessions next Saturday, 12/10 from 9am til 4pm.

If you would like to get in on the fun, you have another chance because we’ve asked if Santa could make another special visit to the studio and he let out a hearty Ho Ho Ho! and assured us he’ll lash up the sleigh for all the boys and girls who didn’t get an opportunity to let him know what they want this coming Christmas.





We welcome you to join us and remember, there will be door prizes and LOTS of fun, so we’ll see you December 10th!
Merry Christmas from M&M Studio!

Food photography today… Cheesecake with Cocoa-gingerbread crust and cranberries

Categories: Photos

Cheesecake with cocoa-gingerbread crust topped with fresh cranberry sauceThis delicious little fall dessert is sure to put you in the holiday spirit. This dish has been building in the back of my head for a couple weeks now. Developing from a few items I’ve been having fun making and eating…. Cranberry sauce with ginger one day, then ginger snaps for dipping in the cranberry sauce, and finally…. THIS!

Rarely do you find the crust of a cheesecake or pie to have a more standout impact than that of the actual filling. Here though, the crust actually takes center stage with the pie filling (in this case a standard cheesecake) and a spice topped tart cranberry sauce. This is a rather hearty dish best served with some spiced rum or hot totties!

Food photography today’s ingredients.

GINGERBREAD CRUST:

1 1/2 cups unbleached white flour

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

3 tbsp. Hershey’s Dark Cocoa Powder

1 tsp. ground ginger

1 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp. ground allspice

1/2 tsp. salt

1 tsp. baking powder

1/2 cup chilled butter, cut into pieces

1 tbsp. unsulphured molasses

2 tbsp. cold water

 

 

Preheat oven to 375ºF.

 

Sift together, flour, brown sugar, ginger, cocoa, cinnamon, allspice, salt, and baking powder. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients with your fingertips or a pastry cutter, or food processor, till crumbs resemble cornmeal. Drizzle the molasses and water over the dough, mixing with your fingertips until the crumbs of dough begin to cling together. Gather the dough, together and knead it into a ball. Press it evenly into the bottom and sides of the pie pan and bake for 10 to 15 minutes.

 

FILLING:

4 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened

1 cup sugar

5 eggs

1 tablespoon lemon juice

 

For the filling, beat cream cheese in a large mixing bowl until light. Gradually beat in sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Add lemon juice. Pour into crust; Bake at in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Turn oven off; let cake stand in oven 2 hours. Remove from oven; cool. Pour remaining topping on top; refrigerate overnight.

 

 

This recipe is from my earlier YouTube post for cranberry sauce recipe:

 

Delicious with some ginger snap cookies or as a topping for cheesecake.

 

 

Made with fresh pears, oranges and grated ginger!
(1) bag cranberries (12 oz.)
(1) Persimmon, pealed, and diced (optional)
(1/2) cup each, brown sugar and white Sugar
(2) oranges, peeled and sectioned
Zest of orange
(2) bartlett pears, peeled, cored and chopped
(1/4) tsp star anise
(1/2) cup ea. orange juice and water
Pinch allspice
Pinch clove
Pinch cinnamon
Pinch cayenne pepper ( optional)

All ingredients into pot, bring to boil on high heat.
Reduced heat and simmer on low for 8-10 minutes, and listen to the berries popping ( optional)
Let cool in fridge for 3 hrs – 4 days.
Serve on vanilla ice cream warm, cheesecake, as dip for ginger snaps ( my favorite) or as a side with your favorite fall meal.
