Sweet Melissa Desserts || Chicago, IL Commercial Shoot

 

Earlier this summer I got the chance to work with Melissa from Sweet Melissa Desserts. Melissa was so much fun to work with and the DL Loft gave us such a perfect backdrop for this shoot! For this session Melissa made her cherry-almond scones. I love a good scone and let me tell ya these were irresistible! Apart from her desserts, we also incorporated personal aspects of her company throughout the shoot. Melissa's grandmother taught Melissa so much about baking and was a huge inspiration for her to start her own business. Melissa also recalled how her grandfather would always tell his wife "gimme some sugar!" Now Melissa wears an apron with this saying on it to continuously remind her of her amazing grandparents and the inspiration they are to her. How sweet is that?! Thankful I was able to capture these sweet (pun intended) for Melissa.
