Grandma’s Bread, a Family Tradition

filed under >

Dec 24, 2015

My Grandmother Carolyn Balcom has likely baked thousands of loafs of bread in her lifetime. Each time the family get’s together, whether Thanksgiving, Christmas, or other events, there is sure to be the famous “Grandma bread” for everyone to enjoy. And this is no typical bread.

Made from scratch, with lot’s of Grandma love, and served warm, these loaves don’t last long. There is no better smell to fill the house, or taste in the mouth than fresh Grandma bread.

In the video below I include a short interview with Carolyn, asking a few questions about her history making bread. Surprisingly, it all started with her procrastinating!

Do you have an family traditions, food oriented or otherwise?

I don’t take it lightly when you invite me into your story.

After 10+ years and hundreds of weddings, this remains true: it all starts with trust, connection, and a shared belief that this really matters.

Whether we’re hiking through Shenandoah, gathering with your people downtown, or in the backyard of a beloved home, I’m there to notice what’s sacred and make it last. I aim to capture the kind of photographs that don’t just look beautiful, but genuinely reflect you and the life you’re creating.
