1. Gingerbread Cookie
Some parchment paper, flour, and a cookie sheet is the perfect layout for this photoshoot. Honestly, this would be so easy to do DIY at home.
PRO TIP: Take DIY photo’s outdoors for better lighting. Even on a porch or under a shady tree would work! Morning and early evening are the best times to take photo’s.
