The Joy of baking

It’s not just about the joy of baking it’s also about witnessing the moment and capturing it in a photograph. It’s the essence of a shared experience between a mother and her daughter as they make dinner together, allowing the little one to fully immerse herself in the joy of the moment, dusted in flour and experiencing everything at her own level.
