Remember that one non finished thing I posted about my vacation in Florida back in February? Here is the rest of it.

A = Astrid




A: What the title says. And, the first post that I did while I was on vacation. :3 LINK



This is the backyard of the house mama's Great Aunt and older cousin live in. (Sadly, due to Cancer, mama's Great Aunt won't be around much longer. :( ) But on with happy things! 

More backyard.

EVEN MORE BACKYARD.

And the sandy front yard!

Photo shoot!

Looking out the window. 

Still trapped inside!

Almost outside! (Mom adored this weird lighting.)

Finally! There was this red caboose thing on the porch, and it was perfect for me!

See!

PERFECT!

Ugh I look so girly. Thank you for nothing, you useless human.

Mom's cousin's dog Shiloh. Shiloh is a Siberian husky, so she is really protective and doesn't like other people very much. But she took a small liking to mom. Maybe because mom has some sort of thing with animals. I haven't figured out what it is, but she can get close to wildlife and it will just look at her. And pets are a breeze apparently. (Also, up in the corner you see a blurry image of Mom's cousin.)




THE NEXT DAY:



In the car! Again....


Looking out the window at the pretty views!

Scenery,

Scenery. (Doesn't this remind you of a ranch out west?)

IT LOOKED LIKE AFRICA DOWN THERE!

Again, so cool and different from where we live!

I feel like a giraffe should come parading out of the bushes.

WHY MUST I MISS ALL THIS SCENERY!

A random driveway.

Shrubbery, wait, no, yes? I think there was a swamp there. Because at both sides of the picture it looks like water behind the trees.

A palm tree. In the middle of a pasture. Which has sand in it. 

Africa? Did we magically travel to Africa?

In the car still.


THE NEXT DAY: (I think?)




Now we are at Mama's Great Aunt and Uncle's rented Condo. (This great aunt and Uncle are on mom's dad's side, the house I was at before was family on mom's mom's side.) I love the theme of this spare room.


Out on the terrace!




AND LITERALLY AGAIN THE NEXT DAY:



This is the Presidential Suite we stayed at. Actually, mama and her family went to Disney World's Animal Kingdom before coming to the resort. I was in the car with a good view of Expedition Everest, (a ride in Animal Kingdom) towering back in the park over the trees. That mountain is huge! 

This is mama's brother's bed, with his Tummy Stuffer, Croccy, relaxing. (AND LOOK AT THE VIEW OF DOWNTOWN DISNEY AT NIGHT! YOU CAN SEE IT OUT THE WINDOW!!!)


The next morning:


See the view of Downtown Disney off in the distance? We stayed on the thirteenth floor of Tower Six at the resort, so we had an AMAZING view and a GREAT time. 

Chilling on the bed, watching TV.



Exploring time!


I was looking out a window.


Peaking out at the balcony.

I'm hungry, to the kitchen area!


This stool will make a nice ladder! 

Up on the counter. (That is the living room there in front of me.)

GRAPES! YUM!

Sneaking on to mom's parent's bed. SO COMFY!

And chilling on the couch in the living room.


And here is a random photo of the two droids mama got in Hollywood Studios. She custom built them!


Sadly, all though this brought us closer to the end of the trip, this post still doesn't include many pictures of Florida and Disney World, (I did not go to Disney, fyi.) and this post ends three days before the vacation ended! So maybe if mama ever gets all the photos collected from different devices, she can she you guys the rest of the trip. But, this was nice. Being able to FINALLY show you the awesome stuff I did.



Goodbye for now,

Mini doll here!

E = Elliot


E: Hello everyone! It is me! Mini doll Elliot! So, I know we haven't posted in a LONG time. But everyone was busy! But now, we have a bit more time. Enough time that under my request mom made me a fancy dress!!




Pretty right?

A new type of Photo Style

Hi, Abbie here. I know, this is my dolls blog. But I would like to show you a new type of Photo styling I've been doing. I use the dolls that look the most alike and make them older and younger versions of one or the other. I will even include what the dolls said about it, and some facts about the shoot.



This is 'Elizabeth' at age 10.

This is Elizabeth at age 24. She is now a professional business woman. Through the years she has kept some things, like sequins and gold barrettes. 


Rebecca at age 12. 

Rebecca's love for vintage fashions as a child, helps her now at age 28. She now runs a Vintage Fashions magazine and clothing line!

Astrid at age 9.

Astrid at age 23. Astrid was an amazing athlete, but as her skin darkened and her hair lightened she became beautiful, and is now a Natural Model, she models without any makeup and little to no clothing.





I thought it would be amazing seeing what some of my girls would look like as adults. And having similar looking dolls made it easy and fun! Now for some facts and then what the dolls had to say about this project.


1. I photographed this with only fifteen minutes of sunlight left. You can watch the sun go down through my photos.

2. I took only two photo's of Samantha when doing Astrid's age 9 photos.

3. I'm about 72% sure there is no such thing as an all Natural Model.

4. Getting the angles and looks of each dolls took more time then you would expect. Which is why I don't have a lot of photo's of some dolls. ;)



Now, for the dolls to talk about what it was like doing this project.


A = Astrid
R = Rebecca
C = Charlie
S = Samantha
E = Elizabeth
K = Kirsten




C: I was pulled out of college over the weekend and on Monday so I could be here, though it was worth it.

S: It was interesting, portraying the younger version of Astrid. I was almost going to have a from the behind photo, because our faces don't look very alike. 

A: I had fun, but my job at the age of 23... I don't think I want to be a model, I mean, modeling yes, but wearing no clothing and modeling? Uh, no.

R: I thought this was interesting, Charlie portraying older me. Mom was careful to give some similar things, like giving that one curl down the front like I have.

E: Me at age 10..... That is almost correct, I'm just different like that. 

K: It was so weird, portraying my big sister at the age of 10.

S: Try portraying Astrid at 9, we are so different. At least you knew Elizabeth well before now.

K: Very true,

C: I felt so awkward doing this photo shoot, but seeing the results, amazing.

A: Very true,

R: I love it. A lot.



The Dolls and Abbie R,

Rebecca's Spring Weather Photo's!

R = Rebecca


R: So today mom decided that it would be a great day for photo's! Beautiful weather, a nice breeze, flowers blooming!


 None of these photo's have been edited! So gorgeous!


Those iris's are such a pretty color.


 I love this photo!


 And this one to!


 Flowers again!


 Another iris!


It smelled good to!


Close up time!


This is my most favorite photo out of the entire thing. So dreamy, and with no editing! I just love the way it looks, though my right eye looks a little bit off.



The lighting, and my curls, and, so pretty!


Photo bomb chicken!


Ehhh, not as nice as the others.


Handstand!


Nice and pretty.


Mom took a picture of the sun streaming through the trees, it gave off this beautiful red glow. Sigh. So peaceful.



Well, that is all the photo's! (Well, not ALL, if I included every picture taken this would be SUPER photo heavy!)


Bye until we post again eventually!

I got a new outfit!

L = Lewis,



L: I got a new shirt and new shorts!!! They were from my mom's dad's mom. :D So, here! Pictures!



An overview of the shorts and shirt! I am loving that I have such awesome clothes! (I see Felicity chilling on a bed in the background. Hi Felicity!)

Mom insisted that I show off the shorts some more. Awkward position....


If you ever find this anywhere, BUY IT! Totally worth the cash! And it's pretty much usable on girls and boys! So, I have to go. But bye!
