The other side of my professional life is as a food blogger (pretty much I’ve figured out how to combined my love of cooking, food, and photography into one endeavor, now I just need to figure out how to get it to actually pay me…)
The Cheesecake Girls Headshots #cbusphotographer #lifestylephotography Share on XThrough that venture, I’ve had the opportunity to sit down and talk food with some of the coolest people, and Samantha is one of them. Check out Cook.Eat.Explore to learn more about why she loves what she does, and how she got into it.

As I’m getting the post featuring her, her shop, and her story, I realized I hadn’t captured any portraits of her that I loved enough to use in the post, so, we set up a shoot.
Samantha is The Cheesecake Girl, and her cheesecakes are ammmmmmmmmazing.
We met this past Holiday Season, when I was hanging out helping a friend of mine at her booth, and we were set up next to Samantha, we consumed a fair amount of her snickerdoodle mini cheesecakes that day. (No shame.)

We had a ball, getting her shots done in record time, as like any small business owner, her schedule is crraaaaaaaazy. Especially as she has some BIG things in the works, really, keep an eye on her, this woman is going places.
Sam’s cheesecakes were a part of Jeff & Kim’s proposal as well, I’d called her to ask if I could order a couple from her to incorporate and she said absolutely.
This gal is so driven, so passionate about she does, and while we were shooting absolutely let me capture her personality in these head shots. She’s a ton of fun, and I cannot wait to get her back in front of my camera again.
