Had a lot of fun making these photos for Nancy at Corazon Cakery, whose skilled craft and creativity is plain to see.

Here's what she had to say about the experience of working together:
"Nick took photos of my cakes. I was nervous at first but Nick is kind and made me feel comfortable. Their photos are gorgeous! This was a great experience."

The community that celebrates together thrives together, ya know?
