Dolls in the Fall! - Photo Shoot

 

HELLLLOOOOO MY DEAR FRIENDS!!! How nice to see you all again!! Thanks so much for stopping by, I hope you're having a lovely day :) I know I'm taking a bit of a break with Villain Takeover for this one, but I REALLY wanted to do a photo shoot at the local pumpkin patch with a couple of my new dolls before it closed for the year. I will say though, I have not been to this pumpkin patch in years, and it is WAY different, lol!! XD The pumpkin patch doesn't even seem to be there anymore from what I could tell? Like they had a little fenced in area with some already harvested pumpkins, but it was small. The giant pumpkin patch I remembered is gone, now it's just a big open space surrounded by the corn maze (which is MASSIVE now, in case you were wondering, lol!!). Another fun fact about the not-so-pumpkin pumpkin patch, you have to pay to get in now *-* whether you want to buy a pumpkin or not, you have to pay your way to pumpkin and doll photography. SO! What did I do? Did I pay to go in? Well... no, not really, lol!! I opted to take pictures by this truck surrounded by pumpkins that WASN'T TECHNICALLY INSIDE THE PATCH IT WAS BEFORE YOU GET TO THE TICKET BOOTH SO OUTSIDE THE GROUNDS LOL 'XD So yeah, even though it was outside the grounds and before you went anywhere that you'd have to hand over a crispy $10 and hope they didn't get mad about a doll photo shoot, I was still paranoid about getting in trouble the whole time XD If any of the pictures look a bit wonky as far as angles and stuff go, it's because I was trying to hurry in case I got in trouble and was also battling the wind and catching dolls before they faceplanted lol. Hopefully they're okay though. Without further ado, Luciana and Rebecca!! :D

-----------------------------------------------------------


Oh yeah, the lighting was also not super great lol, sorry about that, it gets a little better as we go along though.



This picture is my favorite of the shoot, I honestly love them and their little outfits so much <3



I'm not saying Luci was being held up by Rebecca's arm but she 100% was being held up by Rebecca's arm, LOL!



Then I switched to the other side of the truck so I was more hidden- I mean... the lighting was better! Yes, that's the reason 100% XD



Luci <3



And Rebecca :)



I got a little carried away with the artsy angles, LOL!! XD



And shoe pictures, because it is legally required of me at this point.
(A law created by me, I legally require it of myself.)



My mom posed Luciana for these two ;)


I honestly LOVE this dress!! I made it for Joyce for vacation last year (I'm planning to post those pictures in November), and the Charlie Brown fabric just makes me so happy! :D



She is literally so photogenic, I took way too many pictures of her XD





I tried really hard to do her hair in a way that her purple hair streak was visible, I even picked a purple sweater to match! But the sweater looks more blue here sooo.... yeah XD





I was having such a hard time posing them for this one, very impolite of this truck to not have a more dollie suitable step  -_-






They both have such shiny hair! They're so pretty I can't!


<3
--------------------------------------------

So yeah! I managed to take all these pictures without getting into trouble, which was very cool! Once again, I wasn't doing anything wrong as far as I could tell, but I was so scared that maybe I was but I wanted doll pumpkin photos so badly XD Moral of the story, if you're unsure if you can take doll photos somewhere, just ask. I won't do it, because I'm an introvert, but the rest of you should lol!!
It was so fun getting to do a photo shoot of these two together, I got them both this year pretty close together and I was immediately like, "THEY NEED TO BE BEST FRIENDS!!!" Which was a very odd move that surprised even myself, as these two could not have any less in common. I can't really explain it exactly, but I just feel like their friendship works somehow. I feel like even though their interests and lives are drastically different, they'd still be able to talk and laugh about it all. That, despite the differences, they'd just kinda understand each other. I like to think that Rebecca is the extravert to adopt Luci as her introvert friend, LOL!! I don't know, I just think they make sense in every way that doesn't make sense somehow. Their friendship has become one of my favorites amongst the dolls :)
 Anyway, sorry for the interruption of Villain Takeover! I hope you still enjoyed the post though! I have one more Disney Villain Lyric Shoot coming, but it's a big one so stay tuned! If you have any guesses on what the last one may be, let me know in the comments!! I can't wait to see you there, I hope you all have an AWESOME day!!

  1. (Whoops I told myself I was going to comment on your stuff now but I disappeared for a while)
    These photos are SO cute! I love the truck for the background so it clearly paid off for more than just hiding! I've definitely done the same thing before though so no shame (I'm also an introvert which surprises some people??)
    I really need to do a pumpkin patch photoshoot omg! I think last time I went to a pumpkin patch I brought a Barbie to do a photoshoot with but it was too dark. (Am I the only one that has a hard time adjusting to shorter days? Like, whatever happened to being able to take photos at 7:30 pm?? The audacity.)
    Luci and Rebecca look like a great pair of friends! Sometimes friendships where the two parties have nothing in common are the best kind of friendships. Also I love Luci's sweater so much!

    1. (LOL!! It's all good! definitely no worries :) )
      Thank you so SO much, E!! And same, it wasn't quite what I was hoping for, but I'm pretty happy with how the pictures came out in the end (plus, completely hidden from the ticket booth people, so it's an absolute win! XD). Lol yeah, I can't say it's my first time doing something like this, and it probably won't be my last (and nice!! I think it surprises a lot of my internet friends that I'm an introvert as well. I've met a few of them in person and I think it's always a shock just how quiet I am in real life XD)
      Oh my goodness you definitely should!!! They're seriously so fun :D And oh dear gosh yessss!! I feel that so much, the shorter days and just the sun being in drastically different spots at different times now always messes me up so much -_- Usually I'll go do pictures at 5:00 but now that's too late and it's pretty darn impolite of the sun to be doing all that 'XD
      Thanks so much!! I know they are a bit of an odd pairing, but I love their friendship so much (plus I just think they look so cute together in pictures)! And so true!! I feel like I've actually had a lot of really wonderful friendships in my life that are like that :) Thank you so much!! My friend got it for me from a thrift store along with a bunch of others for the different holidays. I think they're actually for teddy bears but I think they're perfect for the dolls :D

    1. Thank you so much, Rachel!! I went back and forth on whether I should use this dress for the shoot or not, as it's going to be featured in another post soon, but it's literally Charlie Brown in a Pumpkin Patch! I couldn't pass up the opportunity XD Thank you again!!

  3. I can't recall ever going to a pumpkin patch, but I'm sure I have before. These photos turned out great! I love their outfits, but especially Rebecca's Peanuts dress!
    Also I love the "just ask! I mean, I won't because I'm an introvert..." it's so relatable!
    Hm...another Villains Takeover post? You've done so many great ones at this point. Maybe "Mother Knows Best" from Tangled? I don't really know, xD. I'm excited to see whatever it is!

    1. This was honestly my first time going in YEARS lol! Pumpkin patches weren't something we really did very often, I think I've gone a grand total of three times including this trip, and though I technically didn't go into the pumpkin patch, it was still pretty fun!! :D Thank you so much, I actually made the dress Rebecca's wearing for Joyce last year for vacation!
      LOL!!! I will go to extremes to avoid asking random people things it's honestly so ridiculous at this point XD I do have a weird override though, where if one of my friends can't/is nervous about asking someone something I will not hesitate in the slightest XD
      Sorry again for not getting the post out! And I promise Mother Knows Best is coming next year as well, I've been pretty hyped about that one but I have to introduce a few dollies first ;)

  4. Katie HIIII!!
    I have literally been meaning to comment here on your blog for again for so long! For whatever reason, my phone wouldn't let me log into blogger, so I had to remember to visit your blog on my laptop! 😂
    Anwayssss, It's so totally awesome that you have been posting again!! I know my sisters and I disappeared from the doll blogging world a while ago, and unfortunately probably won't be starting back up again too soon 😭
    All that aside, I love this photoshoot!! The pumpkins with the dolls and everything is so cute!! I love how fall-themed it is, and it just looks wonderful!!
    I hope that you have a very lovely day!!! 😊

    1. OH MY GOODNESS HELLO EMILY!!!
      Lol it's all good!! I have a similar problem, but while I can log in on my phone, it starts acting super crazy when I try to reply to comments. So I have to use my computer as well 'XD
      Thank you so much!! And I get that lol, my posting schedule has been so on and off for years just depending on what life is throwing at me. I really miss seeing y'alls posts though!! I hope someday you guys can return if you have the time!!
      Thanks so very much!! I had a lot of fun with this one (despite the constant fear of the workers kicking me out, lol!! XD), it's very different than the fall photo shoots I've done in the past, but that honestly made it even more fun to do :D
      Thanks for dropping by, Emily!! It really means the world and it's so nice to hear from you! I still think about you and your sisters whenever I look back at old posts and I hope all is going AMAZING for you all!! I hope you have a lovely day as well!! :)
