American Girl Doll Photoshoots

Merry Christmas! As you can probably tell from my photo shoots, I love playing around with the angle of my pictures. Different angles and positions can really make your picture unique and add interest to your picture. For example, here are two pictures in the exact same positions, but taken at different angles: So when taking pictures, always remember to try different angles.

12 Days of Christmas, Day 3  Merry Christmas! For the next few days, I am going to be giving tips for taking pictures of your doll!  Today we are going to talk about lighting. 1.

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you have a wonderful holiday and a happy New Year! 🎄 I took these pictures on a phone earlier this month, but never got around to editing them until yesterday.

Hi! I broke my camera (again. It was my own fault this time) and am researching different cameras to get, so I haven't gotten a new one yet. As soon as I get a new one, I will definately do a photoshoot. Edit:I have tried taking pictures with a phone-the quality is not that great, so I am editing them and seeing if they are good enough to post. Thanks! ~AGDPS
