The Sugar Plum Princess - A Photoshoot

Hello there, everyone! Happy December <3

I hope you guys are doing well. As you can probably tell, (unless you weren't paying attention...) today I have a photoshoot prepared for you! It's the holiday season now, and it's been pretty cold and snowy recently, here where I live. So, what better time to do a photoshoot? 

During my snow day I was wading through my bin of doll clothes, searching my shelves, trying to think up a unique idea for a post. I knew I wanted to make something for the season, besides my annual blogiversary and Christmas day posts. But I feel like I always reach for the same red and green outfits and dress the same few dolls every time Christmas comes around. So, after a while of doing nothing but lay on my bed, staring at the celling, trying to will my creativity to suddenly spark!... it did!

Out of the many things that come up around the holidays, my mind went to...The Nutcracker! More specifically, Barbie in the Nutcracker; a movie I have not seen in full for many years. The Nutcracker is a classic ballet, that I know a lot of people see, in many forms, during the holiday season. It's never been a family tradition in my house, but I always enjoyed reading the book version from our stack of Christmas books we get out every year. And, from what I remember, Barbie's rendition of the Nutcracker was very good! Tim Curry and all!

 Caroline's blonde curly hair made her the perfect Barbie/Clara/Marie (which is the character's original name, I believe). After a bit of searching, I found a pink dress and white slippers that looked close enough to the outfit. And with some pretty pearls, and a mini nutcracker I had in a tin box; I had all I needed for a cold winter photoshoot.

I wasn't going to label this as a lyrical photoshoot, because, obviously, any of the music I'll be including in the post doesn't have lyrics, buuuuut, I wanted to add some ambience to the photoshoot regardless. So, here's a song from Barbie in the Nutcracker, that, at least to me, is perfect <3

So, yeah, you're welcome to play the song while you read, if you'd like. And with that being said, here are the photos, enjoy!

Alright, that's all I got, lol. I know it's not as many photos as what I usually do for photoshoots, but when I tell you, my fingers were so frozen cold, that I felt like if I just touched them slightly...they would fall off! I'm being dramatic, but you get my point. These snowy photoshoots are always so magical to look at and to edit, but it's no wonder there's always so few, because the process is not always so gentle. Falling dolls, freezing fingers, worrying about the doll or my camera getting wet; the whole shebang.

Anyway, I hope you all liked the photoshoot. As per usual, I would love your honest feedback, so please let me know down below, if you'd like.

Obviously, you guys have my Blogiversary post and Christmas post coming up, to look forward to. I'm not sure if I'll have time to do any other posts besides those, but I do have quite a few drafts waiting around for when the New Year arrives, so don't fret.

And with that, I hope you have a lovely rest of your day! I love you all so very much <3

Happy Holidays,

Hailey
