NJ Food Photographer | Union County, NJ – Marshmallows!!!

It has been awhile since I last blogged. Today I’m here to share with you some delicious, dark, food photography! I don’t really have a ton of blah blah blah about what I did, or what this is, or my Great Aunt Dottie’s favorite marshmallow recipe. Is that something people want to read about? I’m guessing no. But maybe I’m wrong? Maybe you’d be interested in me sharing my set-ups with you? Do you want to see a behind the scenes shot?

What I do know is that this Holiday time seems to go hand in hand with Hot Chocolate. Truth be told, I am not a huge Hot Chocolate fan! Seriously! I spent most of my childhood into adulthood not “liking” chocolate. That includes Hot Cocoa. In fact I just gave in recently and ordered a Hot Chocolate because, December. Another thing I am not a huge fan of? Marshmallows…yeah, you heard that right! And we all know that there is a love affair going on between Hot Chocolate and Miss Marshmallow. Which makes me wonder…am I missing out on something amazing here?

Tell me – is it even Hot Chocolate without marshmallows? Do you need to have those puffy white clouds in your Hot Cocoa? Let me know!

So I took some time to do a little marshmallow photoshoot before tossing the last Hot Chocolate Bomb in the gar-baj. Yes, you heard me correctly. I threw the last Hot Chocolate Bomb in the trash. Don’t worry…it was melted and crushed and my kids have had MORE than enough sugar in the last 4 weeks!

NJ | NYC | Food Photographer | Top 7 | Newark, NJ | Joan Marie Photography

Well, you might just call me a witch because I think I just manifested myself a rating of Top 7 Food Photographers in the Newark, NJ area!  And actually, I might be more excited and thrilled and happy and all the feelings about the actual write up and the description of my work than the actual accolade!

You see, I have said it before and I will say it again.  I am PASSIONATE about all photography genres.  I can’t fit into a little box of “specializing in”.  Maybe that’s a problem for some people, but I just can’t help it.  And that being said, what stood out most to me is how that came through to the writers at Peerspace.  My heart is bursting with joy and gratitude.  If you are interested in reading more, and see the other talented food photographers’ work, head on over to the article!  This completely caught me surprise (not sure why since I wished it into existence just last week) and made my day.  Thank you Peerspace for the recognition!

And thank you Universe for always providing <3
