Thanks so much for visiting my blog!

It was one of those rare gorgeous Seattle nights…well, it’s always gorgeous, but it’s not often the sun is out and the sky is completely clear! I loved photographing Megan with her besties…we got some awesome expressions and had a blast!

Megan did her senior project on photography and I offered my two cents, but she has a great eye-I don’t think she needed much advice!

I couldn’t believe I had lived in Seattle for 15 years (okay 6 and then I got married, but I still visit all the time and consider it home!) and had never heard of the gum wall!

Megan and friends are now in college having a great time…I know they have bright futures ahead of them!

Bri was one of the coolest seniors around. I say “was” because I am so behind in blogging that she is now in college! But seriously, she was involved in everything and is well-loved by everyone! We met at her high school to get a few shots, and then moved on to our location. It’s an awesome time of year for senior photos-contact me if you are interested! In October, a senior session is only $75!

Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Chip Cupcakes

1 Betty Crocker Spice Cake Mix (any other brand should substitute fine)

2 cups Libby’s Pure Pumpkin

3 large eggs

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

Pinch Nutmeg

Pinch Cinnamon

1/2 cup water

1/3 cup vegetable oil

1/2 cup flour

2/3 cup Nestle mini chocolate chips

Add spice cake mix and pumpkin to a mixing bowl, beat until mixed together. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Add the rest of the ingredients to the mixing bowl except the chocolate chips. Beat for 2 minutes. Stir in the chocolate chips. Spoon into muffin tins lined with cupcake liners. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out of the center with tiny moist crumbs attached.

Makes 24 mouth-watering, moist, eat-so-many-you-will-gain-ten-pounds cupcakes! Well, maybe only 5 pounds, unless you add the mousse frosting, which is a must! They also make great mini-cupcakes if you have a mini-cupcake pan.

Pumpkin Mousse Frosting

2 cups heavy whipping cream

1 package Jello Instant Vanilla Pudding

1 1/2 cups Libby’s Pure Pumpkin (If you buy 2 cans, it will be the perfect amount for the cupcakes and frosting.)

1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon Nutmeg

1 cup powdered sugar

So, I’ll admit, I made up the recipe, so I don’t know if this is officially mousse! But it does have that mousse-y texture that makes the cupcakes delish!

Whip 2 cups heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Fold in the package of vanilla pudding. Add pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, and gradually beat in powdered sugar. That’s it!

I piped on the frosting, but feel free to just lop a bunch on to eat the cupcake!

For the display, I used a package of Wilton black spider-web cupcake liners that came with the cupcake picks. Found them at Wal-Mart for $1.88! The orange cupcake wrappers were also Wilton, and also $1.88 at Wal-Mart.

The black and white wrappers are my FAVORITE, Bella Cupcake Couture. They are around $9, but they are made to last! I’ve used them several times, and I love them! They have wrappers for every occasion!

Speaking of kids, I am offering an October special…$75 for a one hour children’s shoot during the month of October! This is a great time to get photos of them in their Halloween costumes (you can bring outfit changes.) You can also use the special for senior portraits, or if you need a family session (it’s almost time for Christmas cards!), the price in October is $125. Spots will fill up fast, so contact me soon if you are interested!
