Photographing Dolls



I am a skilled, award winning amateur photographer and one of my latest hobbies is photographing my dolls. 

                  Meet Ever After Rebel, Madeline Hatter, daughter of the Mad Hatter.

For this shoot, I set up scrapbook paper for the ground and background and a teapot I had as a prop.  I actually put it on my stove, so I could utilize my overhead stove light in addition to the kitchen light.  I shot several angles, it's hard to know which angle will look best until uploaded to your computer.   Then I ran some filters over it to achieve the look I desired. 


 Meet Ever After Rebel Doll, Cerise Hood, daughter of Little Red Riding Hood.

  For Cerise, I used a Neil Gaimen Book, The Wolves in the Walls as my backdrop and scrapbook paper for the ground.  I used an antiquing filter on both of these to give it a darker feel.



I'm having fun styling and posing the dolls, as well as finding the right backdrops.

My latest shoot I  made the strait jacket dress and padded room back drop.  It was a lot of work just to take some pictures, but it was a nice way to spend the day.
