FAQ

Hi there, thanks for checking out my FAQ page. I get a lot of emails asking a variety of questions. Here is a compilation of some of the most popular questions and my answers! If you have a question that is not answered here, feel free to contact me.

What type of camera do you use?
I used a Canon Rebel XSI until April of 2011. I currently shoot with a Canon 7d and love it more than words can express.

What lenses do you use in your food photography?
I mainly use my Canon 50mm f/1.4 and my Canon 60mm f/2.8 (this is a macro lens).

Did you take classes to learn how to use your camera?
I took one lesson at a local camera store. This essentially taught me how to turn on the camera. Seriously, it was a waste of $40. My advice? Read your manual and take loads of pictures.

Are all the pictures on your site yours?
Yep, they are all mine unless otherwise indicated.

Do you edit your photos?
I use Photoshop CS4 to edit my photos. I try to use a light hand while editing and try my best take photos that look good straight out of the camera.

Where did you get your _____________?
If you are looking for specific prop info, drop me an emailโ€ฆI will gladly share the details.
If you are looking for specific kitchen tools, appliances and gadgets, check out my Amazon Shop. I have included all the fabulous products that are in my kitchen. I have used everything in my Amazon store and recommend all the items listed.

Can I use one of your photos on my site?
Send me an email, more than likely I will be totally cool with it. Just. Ask. First.

Why did you start My Baking Addiction?
I was a middle school teacher and was extremely bored one summer. I thought a blog would be a great way to burn up some time, help strengthen my photography skills and help keep track of all the recipes made in my kitchen. Things have definitely blossomed in 7 years and I am so thankful to all of you that continue to read My Baking Addiction. If I could send all of you a cupcake, I would!

How often do you bake?
Usually about twice a week, sometimes less โ€“ sometimes more.

What do you do with all your baked goods?
Letโ€™s just say we have well-fed neighbors, co-workers & family.

Are you interested in reviewing or trying my product?
If itโ€™s relevant to my blog, send me an e-mail and we can chat.

Are you interested in contributing material to my site, blog, etc.?
Again, if your site is relevant, drop me an email, I love contributingย recipes and photos to fabulous sites when time permits.

Can I link my site to your blog?
Certainly!

Who developed your blog?
My site was designed and developed by Lindsay of Purr Design.

Who does your graphic design work?
A lot of the graphic design work is done by Chris Graver. He is a graphic artist and rocks my world with his clean, modern style. You can contact Chris with questions at chris.graver1@gmail.com.
