AGPC Final Challenge
Hi! This is my entry for the final challenge! I can't believe I have made it this far!, thank you for this fun challenge and for the chance to improve my photography :) The theme is "Winter Fun" and since I entered Kirsten I knew I wanted to incorporate her story into the photo.
This is the photo I would like to enter, Thank you!
I modeled the food after her Holiday Treats set, I think it turned out really cute!
This is one of my favorites :)
I had a hard time choosing pictures, their were so many I liked! Thanks for looking and I hope you had a great Thanksgiving!

Updates..
Hi! Remember how I promised I would post a hair tutorial in my latest post? I kind of got sidetracked and my model for the hairstyle was in the middle of a downy dunk (it turned out pretty well, I think I may try a ceramic hair straightener) and now that it turns dark very early I am still working out a time when I can take pictures. Also I have been very busy sewing and now with a more permanent area for my sewing I can sew more often. I am in the middle of a project and today I finished a side outfit that I will hopefully post around Thanksgiving. Sorry for the excuses, thank's for all of your comments! Oh and I have another award post to do :)

Kirsten and the First Snow
Hi, I dressed up Kirsten in Rebecca's winter coat and Mia's skates and took her outside to take some picture's celebrating the first snow! It was really cold and I didn't want to wear gloves so then I could rake pictures easier so, yeah. For this week on Wednesday I will post another award (thank you AG in the Shire!) and then maybe on Friday the hair tutorial I promised, Enjoy!
(It was so hard to balance her!)
(Skate tracks :)
I love this picture!
It was really fun taking pictures outside in the snow! I think Kirsten did a great job, it was really hard getting the skates on her with tights on. It's crazy to think a couple of weeks ago I was taking pictures of Mia and their were still leaves on the bushes! Thank's for looking,

Red Leaves
Hi, hope you are all having a good Friday. I noticed that this tree (the leaves are usually purple) have changed to red and I did a photo shoot with Mia here it is..
I decided to put Mia back into her meet outfit (minus the shoes, I only have one) and tried to redo her original braid. It was freezing outside when I took this, I don't advise you to go outside without shoes and a mini-skirt on ;)
Thank's for looking :)
