Class of 2012 Testimonial!

Check out what our Cedarburg Class of 2012 Kayleigh had to say about her experience at Shoot the Moon!

“I absolutely loved my photo shoot with STM. I had so much fun! I loved trying out new poses, it was a great experience, one I’ll never forget. I felt so comfortable in front of the camera. Shoot the Moon is absolutely stunning and I couldn’t think of anywhere else I’d want to go for my pictures.”

Learning how to cook with our Class of 2012 Senior, Morgan!

Every once in awhile, my Grandma brings me Bon Appetit magazines. I found this recipe in one and my sister and I decided to make it for my mom for mother’s day. It was one of the most delicious things I have ever eaten. However, we substituted the grape tomatoes for small heirloom tomatoes. We served it with a French baguette. It’s really very simple to make and turns out great!
Rigatoni with Eggplant and Pine Nut Crunch

INGREDIENTS

Nonstick vegetable oil spray
1 unpeeled large eggplant, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
2 medium yellow bell peppers, cut into 1/2 inch squares
2 cups grape tomatoes
3 large garlic cloves
1/3 cup olive oil
2 cups (firmly packed) fresh basil
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup pine nuts
1 28-oz can whole tomatoes in juice
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 pound rigatoni
1 pound whole-milk mozzarella, cut into 1/2 inch cubes

Preheat oven to 425° F. Spray a large rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray, add eggplant and peppers. Cut tomatoes in half length-wise and add to sheet. Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Using a garlic press, squeeze one garlic clove over vegetables. Toss mixture together. Roast vegetables until tender, stirring often (about 35 minutes).
Combine 2/3 cup basil, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, pine nuts, and 1 garlic clove in a food processor. Blend until crumbly. Top with salt.
Blend tomatoes with juice, cream, 1 1/3 cups basil, and 1 garlic clove in a food processor or blender until smooth. Season sauce with salt and pepper.
Cook pasta in salted boiling water until al dente, drain. Return pasta to pot and toss with sauce, vegetables, and remaining Parmesan cheese. Transfer mixture to a 13x9x2″ baking dish. Sprinkle with mozzarella and pine nut topping. Bake until heated through and cheese is melted (about 30 minutes).
Let stand 10 minutes. Serve and enjoy! 🙂

It's never too early to think about Senior Style...

It’s January, which means the holidays have come and gone, the snow and slush are probably bumming you out, and you have NO idea what to look forward to now that warm weather seems only a distant memory lost in the abyss of shoveling, bulky sweaters and yet another night-in at home hoping your favorite shows are actually new this week. But here at our Mequon and Delafield photography studios we always look forward to January. Not only do we get to dig ourselves out from the 8 thousand pounds of cardboard boxes all of your holiday cards have been delivered in, but we also get to spruce up our studios and start shooting our next class of senior model photography. This is exciting not only for our staff but also for the graduating Class of 2012! We’re currently taking applications for senior models in both the Northshore and Lake Country areas, so fill out an application and set up an appointment to come meet us! Click the link below to apply and check out Shoot the Moon Photography on Facebook. Modeling also means the opportunity to think about your new spring and summer wardrobe, so make a trip to your favorite boutiques or shopping center to pick out some new outfits and accessories for your shoot. My new favorite store is Francesca’s located at Bayshore Mall in Glendale. Conveniently close to our Mequon studio, I urge you to check out the cute clothes and awesome accessories Francesca’s has to offer.
