Go to Central Park and take some doll photos, of course! It's tradition at this point for myself. I can't imagine being in the city and not taking a quick stop at AG Place and running to the park afterwards for a couple of quick pics. I hope that I'll have enough time to grab a bite at the cafe next time I'm in town! Until then, enjoy this little "meta" shot of the girls taking some photos in Sheep Meadow. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjwXhOtoN3rqd_GX5CEJ63wkMg_iy6_pilW5Ake-Gg73gjAQFeOlK0VSJ3k_mSWpS3qaUt6h8JbdHV7h8Bfid81NjXKmzZYJsk976U0HeZ1XM1MkavsjHItqKGoN6d6dNFTamugZfsVNA3D7m2k2835cJ0UaVcdn-w2NR0KSsooZRDwxDs5XdcOkSnuYA" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="3061" data-original-width="4591" height="450" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjwXhOtoN3rqd_GX5CEJ63wkMg_iy6_pilW5Ake-Gg73gjAQFeOlK0VSJ3k_mSWpS3qaUt6h8JbdHV7h8Bfid81NjXKmzZYJsk976U0HeZ1XM1MkavsjHItqKGoN6d6dNFTamugZfsVNA3D7m2k2835cJ0UaVcdn-w2NR0KSsooZRDwxDs5XdcOkSnuYA=w676-h450" width="676" /></a></div><br /><p></p>Sydney Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14187082319428520972noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479162137666746461.post-3188137442509348822023-02-22T15:46:00.001-08:002023-02-22T15:46:02.516-08:00AG's New Twins: Nicki and Isabel<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">AG's brand new twins from 1999 (Nicki and Isabel) are here, and because you're my faithful blog readers, you get to see all the photos I took while exploring Seattle with the two of them! It is always so exciting when American Girl comes out with dolls set in my state, and since I live about an hour outside of Seattle, taking a day trip there to photograph these two in their hometown was a no-brainer.

And low and behold, I was still signed in?? So though I don't think anyone will see this, if there's a loyal blog reader out there who cares to see-- here's an unreleased photo of a shoot I've had in the works for years. Will be sharing on my instagram in the coming days. But until then... 🥰</p><p>(also, should I come back to the AG photo blogging world?? Blogger is 100% more user friendly than it was when I started this thing. I'm kinda thinking this could be fun. Like a private journal that is technically public but has no reach, so in theory, still private 😂)</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhC9O3GKUpmW6HJEkB1IDU1sDhd8GNVXIkwdG-_vW5pm4g1rdPC5Yl0pvj-9zbXL63K6ksxlkzWU5Z2WokY5Ne_ebn8JGp9G1-lCb8GjXEXoHrS1XRJgeesd1VA01OKPHer5tMmbGTwz0SdBIynnarAYIsQVObUg8oGNJMxp8FSi2hIgwIUB59sdrC0iw" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="3308" data-original-width="4962" height="449" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhC9O3GKUpmW6HJEkB1IDU1sDhd8GNVXIkwdG-_vW5pm4g1rdPC5Yl0pvj-9zbXL63K6ksxlkzWU5Z2WokY5Ne_ebn8JGp9G1-lCb8GjXEXoHrS1XRJgeesd1VA01OKPHer5tMmbGTwz0SdBIynnarAYIsQVObUg8oGNJMxp8FSi2hIgwIUB59sdrC0iw=w675-h449" width="675" /></a></div><br /><p></p>Sydney Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14187082319428520972noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479162137666746461.post-65041718171232082552023-02-09T23:15:00.004-08:002023-02-09T23:15:29.774-08:00Bucket List Update 10 years later<p><span style="background-color: white;">Red marked by me as of today (Feb 9, 2023). I have new bucket lists now, but I didn't really want to adulterate this relic by messing with the actual Bucket List page. That would feel sacrilegious at this point. So in red is what I've been able to cross off this list in the last five years since I last logged on here. I still have plans to go camping (hopefully this June/July), and galloping on a horse should be #1 on the list. Maybe I can kick out two of these in one go and take horse riding lessons this summer, learn to gallop, and cross out "take a class I've always wanted..." That counts. </span></p><p>I think I wrote this list when I was 15. I wish I could hug her. I was so damn lonely. Things get better, little Syd. Promise. And hey, look! I'm still into dolls! </p><p><span style="background-color: white;">-------------</span></p><h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name" style="color: #2198a6; font-family: "Coming Soon"; font-size: 24px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; position: relative; scroll-behavior: auto !important;"><span style="background-color: white;">Bucket List</span></h3><div class="post-header" style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; scroll-behavior: auto !important;"><div class="post-header-line-1" style="scroll-behavior: auto !important;"></div></div><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-8551725739372358147" itemprop="description articleBody" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; scroll-behavior: auto !important; width: 730px;"><strike style="background-color: white; color: #666666; scroll-behavior: auto !important;">1.

It's crazy to think that school is starting for so many people tomorrow and that summer has reached its end. I took these photos of the girls at the beach a few weeks ago and wanted to post them up while they're still relevant to the weather! Today my family took down our pool, and though nice, hot days are predicted in the coming week, I know that cool breezes are just around the corner. I love this time of year, though. Now that I'm not longer in school, the scholastic pressure has lifted and I feel that I can truly enjoy our transition into autumn. </div>

Cozi (my Caroline doll) is relaxing in Kit's retired beach chair by a river near our house. It was quite the ordeal to lug all of my dolls and props to this location, actually! And just as I began taking photos, a group of people showed up for a party...</div>

So many people ask how I got the rocks to balance, and it was actually my mom who stacked them! She propped them against a metal skewer that was stuck into the ground. Otherwise, they would have tumbled over with the first breath of wind!</div>

I'm hoping to put more photos on here every week as a way to show off all the ones I take per photoshoot. So often I'm only able to share 2-3 pictures on my <a href="https://www.instagram.com/5hensandacockatiel/" target="_blank">Instagram account</a>, and I'm left with many that are never seen!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I shot these photos a few weeks ago in the midst of our very uncommon Washington heat wave, and my goodness, it was a bit of a difficult shoot. So. Much. Heat. But I love how the pictures turned out, and I hope you enjoy them too. Let me know how your summer has been going in the comments! Has it been a warm one for you?</div>

This particular picture was inspired by American Girl's July, 2018 catalog (I tried to find a photo of it on Google, but it evaded me). I kind of planned the entire shoot around it, actually! </div>

I'm hoping this photoshoot gave you a little bit of the happy summer feelings of a final camping trip before school starts. I've actually never been camping myself, so it's something I have a lot of fun setting up for my vinyl pals! Also, all of the furniture and most of the accessories I used in this shoot were from <a href="https://www.thequeenstreasures.com/" target="_blank">The Queen's Treasures</a>, an absolutely FABULOUS company that creates gorgeous, high quality, unique pieces for 18" dolls. They have an entire collection devoted to Little House on the Prairie (a shoot I plan to post shortly!), and just looking at it makes me super giddy!! If only I had had the <a href="http://www.thequeenstreasures.com/new-products/18-inch-doll-little-house-covered-wagon-and-horse-drawn-sleigh.html" target="_blank">covered wagon</a> when I was six....(fun fact, my mom made my brother and me a covered wagon of our very own out of an old Radio Flyer. I used to ride around in that thing ALL the time in my homemade pioneer dresses and lace-up boots!)</div>

The happy thing about that is that I'm constantly asked to do what I love. This last year, my doll photography has become second nature for me. I almost never leave for an adventure without one of my dolls and a camera. I'm now working for Liberty Jane/PixieFaire, and I'm always trying to figure out new, fun ways to photograph their clothing. Our state fair began just a couple weeks ago, and I decided to sneak in a couple of "models" and a few props. I was hoping to enter before the crowds hit, but unfortunately there were people looming in every direction (on a Thursday morning....? Really?). My boyfriend and mom were there to help me though, and we cornered off a few areas were there seemed to be fewer onlookers. It's so amusing to me how much I used to fear taking my dolls out in public and photographing them. Now it's just the thing I happen to do.<br />

I was 12, she was 9, and it was the most wonderful time of my life. Her 20 acres of woods were a complete dream for me, as were her two darling ponies. There was no point in getting saddles out (far too cumbersome). We decided to simply put blankets over the horses' backs and go exploring.<br />
I was certainly reminiscent of that time when I took these photos of Jaikey, though she looks as if she's on more a mission than a joy-ride. What do you think her adventure might be? She certainly has a fondness for animals! Especially her calf, Garnet. <br />

Washington's incessant rain flooded many of my neighbor's yards, making little ponds. One in particular reminded me of a specific story in Anne of Green Gables. One in which a fair maiden in her dory sink and a coy gentleman comes to the rescue. I snuck into my neighbor's yard and took the pictures, though in my story, the boat doesn't sink. But I still find the photos to be reminiscent of Anne and Gil. <br />

Although I would love to stay and chat for awhile, I'm spending my afternoon on the lake and I've got to run. However, I decided I must stop by and introduce you to my new girl, Clementine, from the doll company A Girl for All Time. Guys. She can bend her elbows. She's articulated. I've wanted to do this pose on an AG for YEARS and now I have a doll I can finally do it with. Yay!<br /></div>

It was one of those really warm March days that just don't happen all that often. I wanted to go swimming and made my way down to the pond. The water was too cold to do anything except wade around, but just being able to do that reminded me that summer isn't an eternity and then some away. I didn't exactly bring a change of clothes, so after I got out of the water, I took my roller skates and began skating around a nearby park, trying to dry off. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
He's a guy I know a little from school. I think we have math together or something--not really the type you notice when drooling through a boring lecture about angles. But gosh. I noticed him in the park. He flew by on his skateboard and nearly knocked me over. </div>

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I tried to make myself be mad at him, but I couldn't. He helped me up. I was just in my swimsuit, and he looked at me, and I thought I'd die because I had no idea what to say. But then he started laughing, and I laughed too, and it was okay. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We raced each other a few times around the park, and I knocked him off the road twice. We traded mediums once. He couldn't figure out the roller skates--they're my mom's from the 70s, and kinda weird to get the hang of. I made fun of him, and he stuck out his tongue at me. </div>

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then we walked up this hill and glanced over the park, with the pond near the bottom. Sitting down, we watched the sunset. The cold started to really set in, and even though I was wearing my hoodie, Gordie draped his coat over both of us. And then I could just feel him looking at me. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He smiled. Then I smiled and looked back. We sat under the fading sun, smiling, and talking, and then he took me home. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I can still feel his eyes when I'm looking away. </div>

I'm one of those kinds of people who is always looking forward to to future and never really able to say, "right now is cool, too." So, I'm working on that.

It seems as though they have devoted all of their pet researchers to investigate dog, cat, and horse owners. Nevermind all of the reptiles and fish and birds that just happened to be owned by people too. Chickens as pets are a real thing, AG. They are real. </div>

If you'd like to see photography tips, scroll down to the pictures.<br />
<br />
I always expect to be in this enlightened state of joy whenever I finish my finals at school. But, in reality, every single time I've reached that milestone, I am overcome with a feeling of anticlimactic letdown. I ingest so much information every quarter that I am entirely lost once I spew it back up onto those last few tests. My life foresees no purpose now. It is a free moving entity, entirely lost and without direction.<br />
<br />
I was never good at being melodramatic. IT'S CHRISTMASTIME! That's what I'm good at. And while there's a hint of truth in the dismally disheartening paragraph above, I'm so thrilled right now to be done and out. My fabulous brother and I are going to a small town theater today to see two movies we've been dying to watch since we saw their trailers in October.<br />
<br />
I cannot believe I'm going to watch two movies in a day. I am so excited.<br />
<br />
In other news, I took these pictures before Thanksgiving and am now posting them for all of you on the 4th of December.<br />

The sunset was already in full swing when I started this photo shoot. Notice how I placed the doll to the left of the sun. Bright light is coming behind her from the right corner. If I had placed the doll directly in front of the sun while it was still this high, the whole photo would have been washed out. </div>

This is one of my favorite photos. The colors were so warm, and the leaves created the perfect floor. I love working with rim lighting. Notice how Maryellen has that glow around the left side of the back of her head? She's facing away from the sun, with it being to the left of her. Once I had her set up, I used a reflector to bounce the light of the sun back into her face. If I hadn't done this, you would only see her rim-lit hair and a dark grey Maryellen. </div>

<br />
I love this picture so much, but if you look closely, you can see that it's out of focus. I always use manual vs. autofocus when I'm taking pictures, and while I love how much control that option gives me over my pictures, sometimes it results in a dud. There are three things I always look for in a good photo: lighting, focus, and framing<br />
<br />
If you can hit all three of these marks, you're an ace. Unfortunately my Grace turned out a bit fuzzy. Tip for focusing manually: I always zoom in and make sure her eyebrows are crisp and in focus before I take the photo. If they look good, your picture will usually turn out great. </div>

I love this picture, but I'm put off by the framing. The doll foot in the left corner looks a little odd to me, and since I was trying to make the doll centered, I should have placed her a smidge more to the left. As of right now, the framing doesn't really look like it had a solid direction. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm ending with one of my favorites. I took this at the end of the photo shoot, and the sun was low enough so that you could really see it, not just a shaft of light, in the picture. It's subdued, but gives the picture a warm, glowey element.</div>
<br />
This is also a good example of doll placement. Willa, in the left corner, is quite washed out because of her being placed so close to the sun. Grace, on the far right, is a little too far away, and has some harsh shadows/bright spots. Maryellen is in the middle and is covered fairly evenly with the light from my reflector. She's the main point of attention in the picture, and she looks the best of the three.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I so hope you enjoyed this "how-to" on dealing with sunset lighting! It took me awhile to get the hang of it, and I'm definitely still learning. But once you've figured out how to take photos at sunrise/sunset, or "magic hour" as they're known, you'll be blown away by how much more depth and texture your pictures have!</div>

There's something Arcadian about firey papery things floating through the air. I can still see eight-year-old me running up ahead on the puddled road, sprinting and jumping to catch one lucky leaf. Mittens. Sweaters. Fuzzy hats that-look-terrible-on-me. They all play some part in this time of year. Today I wore a pair of burgundy penny loafers and a plaid scarf.<br />
Then again, sometimes November likes to play tricks and spring a warm, rainy on you--just as if it was the end of summer all over again.<br />

To get me in the autumn mood, my mom surprised me with both of these Pleasant Company Addy outfits! They've been on my wish list for ages, and I'm completely smitten with the adorableness. I love the 1850s/60s because of my experience as a historical re-enactor, and so any time I add dresses from that era to my collection I go giddy. <br />

<span style="text-align: start;">I've never had such a pretty October. I live in the Seattle area, and usually we're drenched, flooded, and hung out to drip by now, but we've had only a couple days of rain so far and the sun's been shining scads more than usual. We haven't even had a frost (which is yay because I can still graze in the garden)!</span></div>

Maggie thought that this would be a good idea. Apparently the rabbits, chickens, and cows in the world aren't represented in the pet walking service nearly enough. She reached out to the minority-- she was being a good citizen. </div>
