Spent Some Time with Ayala!

So, I've decided I'm not up for the ADAD challenge this year after all. It's a little saddening but I'm alright admitting my defeat. I did make it to day 42! (Click here to see all he photos from my ADAD 2015. ^^) I think the reason why I failed was because all I could think about was photographing Ayala. I wanted to give all my girls a turn in the spotlight but Ayala was on my mind the whole time. So it made me very unhappy and I just stopped taking photos all together. 

I couldn't help myself any longer and had a mini photo shoot with Ayala this past weekend and thanks to my amazing 14yo daughter, I now have a café/bakery/bistro/etc. for Ayala too! (n.n) 

We are still working on it but I LOVE it! I chose the colors and I'm so happy with how it turned out because not only can it serve as bakery but a bedroom too! This will be Ayala's bedroom when not in bakery/café mode. (^_^) I hope to get better pictures when the sun is in the right position for indoor photos but enjoy the sneak peek of Ayala's space.

Throwback to when I first welcomed Zoë to my doll family and she meet her sister, Saleen. Love these girls!

So very true! Always keep a positive attitude and you'll attract positivity to you.  (^_^)

ADAD 2015 - 33 & 34/365

Let the sunshine in.

Keep going. Everything comes at the perfect time.

I really have been posting every day even if I missed posting here. You can check my Flickr or Instagram or even Tumblr feeds, if a day goes by without a post from me. (^_^)

ADAD 2015 - 32/365

New week, new month and new girl. Well, Zoë really isn't a new girl since I got her last year for my birthday in May but she is the new girl of the week. (^_^) I hope to use props in this week's photos but I'm waiting on my order from Amazon right now, it's suppose to arrive tomorrow. ^^;

ADAD 2015 - 30 & 31/365

Since I forgot to post here yesterday, I've decided to do both at the same time. (^_^)

Day 29: This is only the beginning.

Day 31: My 1st month (31 days) are now in the book for the 2015 ADAD (A Doll A Day) challenge, only 331 days to go.

On a non-doll but photography related note, I've been wanting to try film photography. *gasp* No DSLR and no instant gratification. I think it will help me grow as photographer because it'll cause me to SLOW down and think out my shoots because each photo will cost money instead of taking a whole bunch of shots to only pick one. That photography will be more of my personal life but from time to time I will share photos of my dolls here BECAUSE they ARE part of my life. 

Hope everyone is having an amazing weekend!

Dance like no ones watching.

In other words, make sure to have even when things seem to be too tough.
