Little Missy Patisserie
We have been fond regulars of Little Missy Patisserie since it first opened, with awesome coffee & delicious savoury & sweet treats, what’s not to like? Everyone is so friendly & it has a gorgeously homely feel. We feel like old friends now & felt it would be ok to ask if we could take our “real cameras” in for a photo shoot this morning. Oonagh was so lovely & agreed to our favour, she is such an amazingly talented pastry chef.
So my foodie chef friend & photography study buddy Ellie joined me for the shoot. (read her blog post & she her photos here)
I arrived a bit early so had to have a coffee & suss out the conditions (plus test out my new lens!!)
OK there was a brief quiet moment with not too many customers, a great opportunity to shoot the delicious goats cheese, heirloom tomato & fresh basil tart, just as I’m styling it a guy comes in with these gorgeous mini yellow tomatoes (I have forgotten the variety) perfect timing!!
Ellie arrived & styled up the scene, we just knew we had to take out a slice & have that for breakfast later (after taking it’s photo another million times!)
Should we do more savouries? No we need to do the sweets!!
Let’s get our lemon brûlée tart action shot with the blow torch, I am so excited I can’t hardly breathe!!
So now that is done & I’ve calmed down a bit, we have selected out the food to be shot, styled & eaten over the next hour or so.
We felt very privileged to be able to use the “special fork”. Another great reason this is the perfect place for a photo shoot is their gorgeous collection of vintage plates, cutlery & tea pots. Food styling heaven!
Styled by Ellie – cracked tart (I don’t mean you Ellie!!) See the instagram video here.
Go Ellie, go!!
Rhubarb & custard pastry – The rhubarb came from my garden!
The blackberry & hazelnut dome I’m sure it has a much fancier name that I will find out & update for you 🙂
Which shot of these 3 is your favourite?
And chocolate & coffee what better way to finish up? Note to selves make sure you only order 1 coffee at a time not 2 at a time, because they don’t look as fresh after you have taken 10 million shots!!
Thanks so much for an amazing morning with delicious, gorgeous food & coffee Oonagh & the gang!! You are all superstars!!
