ADAD 365/365

My exotic beauty, Ocean 💠

This has been an amazing year for my doll photography. I've learned a lot along the way about exposure, lighting and scenery. Also how to play with the sun to give more depth and dimension to my photographs. The biggest lesson I've learned was how to bring my dolls to life using my camera and lens. Next year will be even better as I grow and hone my skills as an AG doll photographer.

Thank you for taking this journey with me and goodbye 2013 A Doll A Day (ADAD) photo challenege. It was a blast!

I really like how this photo came out. This photo is completely unedited apart from adding my watermark.

Ocean and Nova 

My daughter allowed me to take a photo of her doll. I never knew how gorgeous Saige is until she came her to live with my daughter for Christmas. Now it's time for me to get a Saige to call my own. Too bad I didn't figure it out before she sold out. Now I'll have to pay her secondary market price. Boo!

Everyone please meet Ocean! She is so beautiful and I ♥ her so much! My hubby and daughter hit the proverbial nail on the head with her. I'm so grateful!

Aoki is so excited because there are only 2 days until Christmas! She heard there may be some new girls arriving for her to play with.

Isn't Aoki beautiful? 

I just love taking photos of her. I don't know if I'll be able to let this sweet face go. I ♥ my Aoki! I'm sure Jess is amazing seeing how Aoki is the same face mold but what if I don't get a doll with an expression I♥? I'll be sooo very, very sad. Am I willing to gamble on that? No... I'm not! My mystery Jess face mold doll is here to stay.

Her golden brown hair.

My new American Girl arrived the other day but I have been waiting to reveal her on my instagram, yesterday I posted this photo of her.

 I named her Hope and her big reveal will be tomorrow's ADAD photo. (^_^) So excited to officially welcome her to the family.
