last month i had the pleasure of photographing for kei okumura of sugarbird sweets, talk about fun and tasty! kei recently moved into a new kitchen and their new space is beautiful, filled with gorgeous light. i got some behind the scenes action of her team baking up some delicious treats, it smelled heavenly and it was hard to not devour everything until after we finished shooting.
her signature items are scones and teas. honestly i’m not much of a scone gal, i think they are always too dense and dry, but the scones at sugarbird sweets didn’t disappoint. i tried a bite from probably every singe scone on her menu and each was soft but not too cakey and full of intense flavor – in a good way. the tea’s are all crafted by kei herself, they smell and taste amazing – perfect combo with her scones.
sugarbird sweets is available online and at select retailers around los angeles. be sure to check her out if you are local (and go early!).
