A boy and his dog

Meet Ike (boy) and Scout (dog). Ike is the son of my best friend since grade school so I get to be considered as his honorary aunt which makes me a happy girl. I just recently got back from visiting them in Kansas and wanted to share a few photos I took while we were lounging around in the morning watching cartoons. I couldn’t think of a better way to start the morning :)

Happy Valentine’s Day from us here at Helmutwalker Photography!  Probably no other holiday is as synonymous with desserts and chocolate as Valentine’s Day so you know I’m gonna take the excuse to bake up something yummy!  And if you’re still looking for a sweet treat for your sweetie may I suggest a delicious Raspberry Cheesecake Pop or a Chocolate Cherry Hand Pie?  Not only are these treats adorable, they’re incredibly tasty!

Wouldn’t you much rather receive a bouquet of cheesecake pops instead of flowers?  I know I would!

Wrap up your pops with ribbon for a cute gift.  You will definitely brighten someone’s day with one of these!

Click the photo for a larger version.  I slightly adapted this recipe from Cooking Classy.  Decorating the pops was lots of fun, I think my piping skills are getting better!

You can even start off your days with one of these, according to the recipe from Pink Parsley they’re pop tarts – so breakfast!  Or eat them for a snack, dessert, lunch, dinner, you know whenever!  It’s always a good time for pie.  ;)   I didn’t have nutella so I just added a few chocolate chips to the cherry filling.  The chocolate is pretty good, but I’m sure nutella in these would be AMAZING.

Almost too cute to eat.  Almost.

I offered a cheesecake pop to my valentine.  I think he would have preferred a tuna pop.  :)

New Albums!

We just recently got in some new album samples and thought we’d share them with you!

This is our Flushmount Album by Forbeyon, an awesome company located right here in Dallas! They offer lots of fabulous options for their covers, great print quality, and lovely thick pages. It’s the perfect coffee table album.

The Flushmount album also comes in a funky 12.5×5 inch size which is great for bridals. It’s sleek and unique, a definite eye-catcher.

We also got in a new Mounted Album sample. Love the bright red cover! A lot of people ask what the difference between the Flushmount and Mounted is and the main difference is in the Flushmount the photos are mounted all the way to the edge of the pages, whereas in the Mounted there is a small space around the edges and through the middle of the book. They also have awesome cover options and thick pages!

The best way to experience our new albums is to see them for yourself! Give us a call to set up an appointment, and yes there will be coffee and home baked cookies!
