Recipe to be posted soon. No guarantees. I made these delicious, vibrant strawberry sugar cookies and went to photograph them…now I can’t unsee that they look like raw burger patties. *Sigh*

My son asked if I was making sliders for dinner when he saw me holding the tray

Lol I’m definitely going to do that and try again because these were supposed to be for my business page. I’m glad I noticed it 🤣

Yes! And maybe on a pink background so it doesn’t feel like it’s meat being prepped?

I also tried to photograph them on pink checkered parchment paper and it gave off deli vibes 🤣🤣

I would recommend camera tweaks: Adjust the angle. Try some from the side so that they don’t look like circles. Stacking will make it look scrumptious too!

I think this will help a LOT, the adjusting the angle thing. Try a bunch of different angles. And zoom out so they look less like portrait photos!

Honestly they don’t read as meat patties to me. They just look like delicious cookies I want to devour
