Rococo Nights, Part I
January 20th, 2012
I'm going to be posting this photo session in multiple parts because I took so many pictures—152 to be exact! It took me seven hours (from set up, which took two hours in itself, to take down, which thankfully only took about 45 minutes) to take do this shoot. But don't worry, I'm not going to make you slog through all of those. I'm being very ruthless in culling photos and I'll be showing you a only small fraction of them. Plus, it's kind of overwhelming editing so many photos so it makes it easier to post in smaller batches. So expect more photos with this same theme next week!
This photo session has been a long time coming. My poor doll models have been dressed in their Rococo costumes for over a year now waiting for me to get my act together. Basically, I had really high expectations for this shoot and was afraid I wouldn't be able to meet them; however, it went more smoothly than I had expected. Granted, I'm not ready to do another shoot on this scale in the near future. It was exhausting!
Making Friends
January 19th, 2012
Feeling a bit neglected by everyone since the new girl arrived, Wednesday has been a bit pouty lately. Kendall noticed this and, knowing that Wednesday is a huge fan of Lalaloopsies, got Wednesday a Lala that she didn't have yet. Ah, bribery…the way to a little kid's heart. 😉
Daydreams
January 16th, 2012
She's daydreaming about which guy is going to be her boyfriend: Ethyn or Julian. Not that either one would be a bad choice. 😉 What I need to do is take pictures of her with both guys, as well as take pictures of Chloe with both guys, so I can see who I want to pair off with whom. I'm actually planning on taking pictures of Chloe and Ethyn this week so we'll be able to see what those two look like together. I'm excited about it!
Best Friends Forever
January 13th, 2012
Do you remember the surprise dolly addition that I mentioned last week? Well, here she is! I now have an Iplehouse SID Ashanti living here. 🙂
Some of you may recognize her—she used to be aEthEr hEad's Kendall. When I found out that aEthEr hEad was leaving the hobby, I realized I couldn't pass up the opportunity and asked if she would consider letting me adopt Kendall so that she could come live with her BFF. You see, Emily and Kendall struck up a great friendship when Emily was visiting for her face-up; they even had their first photo session together when Em was there.
I'm so happy that Emily has her best friend living here now. I bet they'll be getting into all sorts of mischief. 😉
I also feel so lucky that I was able to bring Kendall home. I've been a huge fan of hers for a long time and think she is one of the most beautiful Ashantis I've ever seen. I'm beyond excited!
