Meet Mia

Introducing the love of my life, Mia

She is a WM166c with #273 head in tan. She came to live with me in spring 2019 and was my first doll. Tragedy struck in October last year when she's was irrevocably damaged, but the act of kindness that followed can barely be put into words. My wonderful friends on TDF, and some new ones, banded together to help bring her back to me. The management at TDF helped in securing discounts that my vendor graciously applied, even WM got involved and rushed through her order, and just a few short weeks later my baby was returned to me better than ever.

I've dubbed this shoot...

           "A New Mia, For A New Year"

This shoot is dedicated to all my wonderful friends and everyone at TDF.

  From Mia and I, we love you guy's!

The Equipment:

I'm by no means a photographer, choosing to use my phone for simplicity. I currently use a Nokia 8.3 on a tripod. For lighting I have a cheap 3x 135w light softbox setup, A 60w spotlight with various reflectors On this shoot I also used 2x LED light sticks with removable blue/red gels. Editing was done in Adobe Lightroom.

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.
