Sweet holiday

Good morning everyone!  I hope that you all had a great weekend and with the Christmas holiday only a few days away that you all have your preparations close to complete so that this can be a nice and relaxing time of year.

I spent Saturday on a shoot that I didn’t think that I would probably ever go on: A gingerbread village.  After being contacted by the owner of Gingerbread Lane asking me to come down and get some supplemental shots of his village and exchanging some e-mails back and forth I found myself face to face with the most massive creation of food architecture that I have ever seen.  With a hotel, ice skating rink, Christmas tree shop, church, carousel and so many more, it was easy to get lost in this confectionary wonderland.  Enjoy your stroll through the village!
