I am a wedding photographer that moonlights as an amatuer chef. My love of cooking started with experimenting in the kitchen with my mom. I considered culinary school for a while but thought better of making my peaceful hobby into a stressful profession! Friends and husband reap the benefits of my favorite hobby.
