It's time for the second recap of my ADAW 2017 project! I've been doing very well with keeping up with photography and uploads this year- I'm quite proud of myself to be honest. Here are the photos for weeks six through ten and a bit about each one. 😊💗

Week 6

I took this photo right after I took apart all of my dolls, cleaned them, and fixed their eyelids and eyelashes. It was so annoyingly tedious, but it was worth it in the end because all of my guys and gals were squeaky clean and looking good!

When I uploaded this photo to my Flickr, I also included a link to the song "Without You" by NCT-U. The title of this photo comes from a lyric in the song. I was listening to it a lot at the time and the words really connected with me.

Week 7

This was the week that my new girl, Sorrell, arrived. I hadn't gotten a new Pullip in years and I was so incredibly excited by this gal's arrival. I was very inspired this week by my history class. We had briefly covered some content about Spanish conquistadors. I thought Sorrell looked very much like the ornately dressed explorers of the time who set out to discover the new world. 

Week 8

I have two Pure Neemo girls, and although I find them immensely adorable, I don't photograph them as often as I do my Pullips. I decided for this week to take photos of my Azone Pure Neemo Happy New Year 2016 Alisa (wow, that title is such a mouthful). I found a small patch of baby grass- so cute and soft! I had to take photos of this girly in the new growth. She has such a sweet and sunshiney expression. She embodies the joy of spring!

Week 9

I took Solstice out for a sunset photoshoot for week 9 of ADAW. Something about both dusk and dawn fit this girl so well. I wasn't all that inspired for week 9, but I did begin experimenting with freelensing which I hope to do more often in the following weeks!

Week 10

I couldn't resist Sorrell's beauty for week 10, even though it seems like I just photographed her. Again, this week I had little creative inspiration, but a lot of excitement for experimenting with freelensing! (Check out my post on freelensing if you want to read more about it!) 

Thanks for stopping by to catch the recap of ADAW 6-10. I look forward to the next 5 weeks! I hope I can find some better inspiration. Have a great week everyone!

Hello there! Today I have a few photos of my newest addition, Sorrell, a Pullip Veritas Deep Crimson Version. She is honestly the most captivating stock Pullip I've ever laid eyes on!! I'm always enamored by her beauty!

It was a very nice day today- mild temperatures and a light breeze made it perfect for spending some time outside photographing this girl. 

Her stock outfit is incredible!! I know I've said this before and I apologize for gushing about her. I just can't get enough of her!! I've only recently gotten into more ornate and luxurious styles. I went through a long phase when I loved minimalist and more simple and cute styles. I still love these, but I can't help but indulging myself in intricate and grand styles once in a while. 

This girl is definitely a shelf doll for me. She won't have a very in depth character and her style will never change. I'll most likely keep her in her stock outfit for as long as I own her. She's a beautiful display piece and looks gorgeous standing in my doll cabinet. 

As much as I adore the deep crimson and iridescent gold of her look, I couldn't resist trying a black and white shot! Black and white photography is definitely something I'd like to improve on. 

I hope you enjoyed this little shoot! Thanks for stopping by!

Hello there! This week's ADAW photo was a bit of a struggle. I have been having trouble finding motivation for my photography. Luckily, once I finally went outside to take some photos I really enjoyed myself. Things are budding and regaining their color. I really like the way there are bright flashes of color among the still dull background of early spring.

Thanks for stopping by to read about today's shoot! I hope you enjoyed! 💚

Hello! This week for ADAW I took my Azone Pure Neemo Happy New Year 2016 Alisa outside for a little photoshoot. 💛 Unfortunately, I didn't get as many photos of her as I'd have liked, but I did photography Danbo a bit as well. 😊 I enjoy collecting these cute figures like Danbo, Sonny's Angel, and Tokidoki; I really should photograph them more.

It was very warm today- it almost hit 80 degrees! It was also very sunny. This again interfered with my recent darker photography style. I'm so torn- I love vibrant colors but I also love the look of washed-out and pale photography. I enjoy the look of sun-bleached film. When I'm editing photos, I go through such a struggle deciding which road to take- vibrant or pale? Light or dark? So many decisions....

I love the way Danbo's eyes light up! They're kind of spooky, don't you think? I'm always super cautious when using his eye lights; I don't want them to burn out so I only switch them on when I'm taking photos. 

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed these photos! 💛
