A wonderful hidden treasure full of antique goodness.

I love that place.

Pieography

It’s finally here!!

Pieography – Where Pie Meets Biography

By Jo Packham

Food Styling by Anne Marie Klaske

Photography by Traci Thorson

Yep! You read that right, me.

A little over a year ago, Anne Marie and I joined forces again and jumped into this amazing adventure.

Three or four times a week, sometimes five, I would head to her farm for the days work.

She would bake the pies, set the stage, and then I would work my magic.

We had so much fun working together.  We click.  We really do.

She knows how I work and I know how she works.

And we SEE the same things which is a blessing.

Most of our shoots went smoothly.

But we had a couple that did not.

We made the best of everyday.

Plus we got to sample each pie at the end of shooting.

Now that’s what I call an amazing job!!

I really want to thank Jo Packham for giving me the opportunity to do the photography for this book.

I enjoyed every moment, learned a lot and really feel blessed.

Get your copy today!!

You can find Pieography here and here.

You will love the recipes, stories, styling and photography!!

xo!!

    Abandoned barns full of old stories, rusty old pickup trucks with thousands of miles behind them, country roads, fields full of wildflowers … real life, hard work, the love of my family.  All important aspects of my life.  I am a portrait photographer who is venturing into food and editorial photography and loving this journey that I am on.
