You may remember my "Apple Cider Doughnut" post. I had so much fun with that one I thought I would give fall snacks another try. I have to tell you my kids are loving these posts because all the goodies are theirs when I am done....the dentist like them too:) Now all I need to do is work in a bribe or too so I can get some photos of the boys. Actually, this is a dreaded weekend at our house (by the boys). It is Christmas card weekend, maybe I will stock up on really good snacks, full stomachs will hopefully make for a successful shoot, hopefully. Okay, now on to...

What do you think? What are your favorite fall snacks?
Now to switch gears a little. Jaymi at Live, Love, Travel, started a photo tip link up and I though I might join in this week. Although I am far from an expert I thought I might share my thoughts on vignettes and why I like to photograph vignettes. This series was a perfect one to share....
vignette:(vĭn-yĕt')
n.
- A decorative design placed at the beginning or end of a book or chapter of a book or along the border of a page.
- An unbordered picture, often a portrait, that shades off into the surrounding color at the edges.
- A short, usually descriptive literary sketch.
- A short scene or incident, as from a movie.
I usually start with a group of individual items that have a similar theme as you can see above. After arranging them....I start shooting. Why do I do this you ask? A few reasons. Setting up a vignette gives me a great way to practice different aspects of photography that I can't always practice when taking snap shots of the kids. For example, camera angle, manual/selective focus, exposure, composition, lighting, etc. and when I am done there is always the editing. Why else, you might ask? I do use my still life photography to make note cards that I love to give as personal gifts. Mpix has a great line of print products to help you create fun stuff with your pictures.
There you have it...photos and a tip. Enjoy the rest of the week. See you this weekend with my weekly {365}.

This is a really beautiful series! I love all the different set ups--I really struggle with styling food photography shots, and you did these just perfectly. And I love your tip on vignettes! I'll have to try that sometime. Thanks for linking up!

You are so good at setting up beautiful shots like this. I am so lacking in this area. Loved all the fall colors in these.
What great shots, Tiffany! You composed them so perfectly. Do you ever eat your candy corn with peanuts? It's very yummy :)
These are so awesome! You could totally do product photography! You put this together abd shot it perfectly! Fun!
Great Photos. Jamie Rubies is right. You might want to consider product photography. You are better than most.

Beautiful fall pictures. Makes me want some candy corn. :)
Candy Corn - mmm-mmm good.
What an excellent tip! I've tried to do that before, but it never seems to look put together. ...and Candy Corn is totally my fav (but I don't think I can eat much more of it this season :)
This is a test. lol. I am not sure my last comment posted.
It doesn't appear that it did, so I must try again. If this is a repeat you can delete it, but I must tell you that these are amazing! I am in love with every single one! These could seriously grace the cover of a magazine. Perfect fall pics. And you do know that I am a candy corn addict, right? *SWOON!*
Thanks so much for sharing and linking to the Shades of Autumn Photo Challenge.
Now I'm off to pin these!
Wow, a fabulous collection of pics. Thanks for all the tips, incredible.
Candy corn to me tastes like wax, but you make it look sooo good!
Thank you for including the tips. Very helpful to a novice like me.
Oh, yum! How lovely! :)
