A Walk Through the Woods (A photo shoot)

 I thought I would do a photo shoot with Elenore, since she reminds me a bit of models in Pre-Repheliate paintings.

I like the layout of this photo.

It was fun to pose her like this.

I like the way the sunlight reflects on her hair.

“I Ought to Be Thy Adam, But I am Rather the Fallen Angel…” (A Photo Shoot)

           It finally wasn't too hot to take photos outside, so I decided to take photos of Frankie. The quote featured in the title of the post is from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein “I ought to be thy Adam, but I am rather the fallen angel…” (P. 90). The monster speaks these lines when he confronts Victor Frankenstein. 

                                                                      Let's begin: 

I like the pose of this one, and the pink hue around Frankie's hair. 

I like the pose of Frankie in this photo. 

I like the shadows in this photo.

A Beautiful Summer Afternoon (A Photo Shoot)

Hello everyone, 

I'm back with a photo shoot. It has been too hot to take photos recently, but I found these ones and I thought I would share: 

I like the closeup of the flower in this photo. 

I like Nanea's pose in this picture.

A Quick Update

 

My next post is coming soon, but I have had some huge changes in my life that has delayed my posting of it. I didn't want to go weeks without mentioning anything, so I am posting now so that you do not assume that I quit doll blogging. It's simply that I am working on something that is taking a lot longer than I expected it to. 

This is a much shorter post than I usually do, but I thought I would give an update.

Doll Photography #13

 Hello everyone, 

I thought I would do another doll photography post. 

The photos included are ones that did not end up being included in one of my photoshoots, or ones that don't have enough photos to be a photo shoot. 

I like the close up of her eyes. 

The photo shoot I attempted to do with Frankie did not end up working (most of the photos were fuzzy or shaky) but I like this photo. 

I like the angle of this photo. 

I like this photo. It makes it look as if she is almost falling.

Mud on The Petticoat (a Photo Shoot)

Hi everyone, 

I found this photo shoot I took a while ago and wrote a draft blog post for in 2017/2016. The title is a reference to this quote from Jane Austen: "Yes, and her petticoat; I hope you saw her petticoat, six inches deep in mud." Anyway, since I found it, I thought it was time to post it. 

This one kind of reminds me 

of the movie DVD cover of Pride and Prejudice.

I enjoyed taking this picture.

  What was your most embarrassing memory of your dolls?

I can't think of any. That is not to say that it hasn't happened...but I can't remember any particular time. I suppose I don't get embarrassed easily. I've had people walk past and glance at me when I am taking photos of my dolls outside, but I don't find that embarrassing. 

What do enjoy about your dolls/doll?

I like telling stories with them and taking photos with them. I like the unique features some dolls have: Carpatina dolls have detailed historical clothes, and Monster High dolls have cat ears or snake-hair. I also love the fact that dolls are something you can hug when you're upset and they don't judge you for it. 

What is your favorite memory of your dolls?

I remember looking at an old American Girl Doll catalogue for Sarah (the only catalogue I had, which was released at the time Felicity was retiring. At the time I had asked for Sarah, Felicity was already retired...so it was pretty outdated). And then I remember finding her and asking for her as a gift. 

Sarah was my first American Girl doll. 

Is there ever a time when you don’t like your dolls?

No, I haven't had that happen. I've had times where I worried I may dislike or give up interest in my dolls. But that never happened. 

Do you have a favorite picture of your dolls?

I'm going to cheat and answer with a few photos, since I don't have one favorite. 

This is one of my favorite photos of this doll of Legolas. (It originally came from this post.) I like it for many reasons: one is that I got this doll as a gift since I'm a fan of Lord of the Rings. (The obsession did not go away and instead morphed into me writing a novel about elves.) I also like it because at one point, a child of a friend of mine looked at it and said, "That's a real person." 

I like this photo also. It came from this photo shoot that I did for Halloween. I like the atmosphere of it. I had been playing around with camera filters at the time. 

And I also like this one. It was from this spring photo shoot. I like the angle that I took in this photo, and the portrait view it has. 

Has there ever been a time when you kinda forgot about your dolls?

There have been times when I forgot about my dolls briefly (but not purposefully, more that things were going on in my life). In 2020, I had so much happening that doll blogging seemed hard to do, so I only blogged seven times that year and inconsistently. 

When blogging about your dolls do you ever feel uninspired/out of ideas for the next post?

Yes, I have felt uninspired, several times. But I usually find inspiration by taking my dolls out for a photo shoot, doing a tag post, or something else along those lines. 

Off the top of my head I can't think of any active doll bloggers to tag who haven't already done this. So, if you want to do this tag feel free to do it. I'll be looking forward to seeing your answers. 😉
