It was a thrilling feeling to be asked to contribute to December’s Coverdoll.
Just 9 months ago I posted my first image (It was terrible) in TDF’s February Photo Challenge.
It proves that when you love something, give it your best, good things can happen.

It has been an honor,
Swan

Note from the Editor: Each month we will feature a different

photographer's work. We invite doll owners and manufacturers
alike to participate in this new monthly feature. Photo shoots must meet
a minimum quality level. If you do not meet that level we are happy to
work with you, critique your photos and help you to raise the bar on
your photography. Good photo shoots can be had with low cost digital
cameras. It is all in the technique.

Hey swannie! Ya sure kept this under your hat during our discussions! A well deserved photo spread! I love your description. It shows how much you have grown as a photographer. That pillow shot is the money shot. Looks like the cover of Playboy! Really nice work! Keep it up.

I agree with Alottahope. Super pillow shot.

Sweet dreams are made of this

Wow -- talk about "visions of sugar-plums"!! Swan's dolls ('specially Ryleigh ;) ) are superb festive delights, like a Christmas-y dream made real... and some sweet eye candy of the finest kind.

I believe we fellow doll-photographers also enjoy seeing a "behind-the-scenes" photo or two, thanks for including those.
