Dolly picture spam :3

Rachel posted recently about our outing on Saturday when we took the dolls out to photograph them in the woods, and I wanted to share a couple more pictures of my girl, Elaine. I took like seven skillion pictures of her so I could be sure I'd have a couple that came out well XD I'm saving up for a new camera, and I can't wait until I get it and we can have two cameras! Then we won't have to keep swapping the camera back and forth.

Also, I need to get poor Elaine some seasonably appropriate clothing XD All she's got are little sun-dresses and short pants (partly because Momocolor's 29cm dolls are slightly taller than most in their size category so the majority of pants are short on them...) She had one sweater that doesn't look too see-through unless you inspect it closely, and she borrowed pants from Lavinia and a hat from the General Knitted Dolly Things Repository. Her only shoes don't fit if she wears socks, so I kept thinking the whole time we were out that she must be freezing to death. This from the girl who, all through high school, changed her American Girl dolls' clothing from light to heavy in the fall and back again in the spring even when she didn't otherwise play with them.


A Walk in the Woods

I love how this one really looks like she's walking through the brush.

This is almost the same as the previous one, but her head's tilted up... and the sun went in XD So the light is softer.

I loved scrolling through all the shots from your photoshoot. It is the best possible advertisement for BJDs as a hobby. They are gorgeous and strangely soulful for inanimate objects. :D

Thank you! :D I'm glad you're enjoying them! I really find that good photographs of the dolls are the best advertisements, like you said. The photographs can make a world of difference in whether the doll looks like a doll or an art piece.

OMG, if I had one of those dolls I would knit all the things for her. lol. so cute!

Ahahaha that's one of the reasons Rachel wanted one XD And I very much benefit from that! They're so much fun to knit for, because they're so tiny that knitwear goes fast :)

I love both of your BJD posts. :)

If you want, you are always welcome to borrow my camera when you go out on these outings. I also have a monopod and a tripod that you are welcome to borrow. Also, FYI, monopods are ridiculously cheap and well worth having: http://amzn.com/B000VZS2EU. They double as a walking stick too.

Hee, thank you! I'll have to remember that :) I don't think I would've even known what a monopod was if you hadn't told me!

She's so adorable! And you're such a good doll Mama - but then, you always were. ♥

She doesn't look as if she's freezing. She looks totally content. Maybe she just runs hot like her Grandmama, and doesn't need a jacket or socks. Teehee!
