Here comes the sun!

Heey, I'm back from our summer cottage~ ^3^ Had a great time relaxing, enjoying the peaceful nature and taking photos, of course! It felt like the weather was really on my side as it was raining in many other parts of Finland, but in the Eastern Finland (where our cottage is) the weather was beautiful for the whole weekend! ♥

So yeah, I had a bunch of dolls with me: Chici, Zinnia (Iple Stella), Melanthe (Soom Cuprit) and Lia (Azone Chiika). I also had Ceci and Mila, but didn't have the time to take photos of them lol... >.<

First up is little Chici ♥ I've had this swimming ring for a while and been planning to use it for some Azone photoshoots, but since none of my Neemos have swimsuits yet, I thought that I'd try out if Chici can float with it... And yup, she can! She doesn't have a swimsuit either (lol I'm sure it'd look hilarious), so I quickly made a tiny towel for her by just cutting a piece of this cute striped terry fabric that I recently found from the fabric store :) I actually bought it to make a towel for Ceci (who I didn't take photos of, after all...), but looks like it was useful for Chici too! ♥

"Look at me, I'm floating! ovo"

Hahah a little naked birdie XD A silly extra photo...

Next some photos of Lia, my newest Pureneemo girl~ I took these right before deciding to cut her hair a bit :'D It was unnecessarily long, after cutting it goes up to her wrist. I like it much better now that it's shorter, though I wish I had done the cutting BEFORE taking these photos lol... Nia, my other Chiika will get the same treatment soon too, so that the two will have same length hair :3

The black clothing and plushie collect all dust and dog hair so easily ;__;

Lia found a cute little mushroom :3

A close-up of the mushroom XD I didn't have a proper macro lens with me, took this with the kit lens that I've been using for all doll photos lately as well (since my 50mm lens is more or less broken...)

I finished a new dress for Melanthe ages ago, but lacked the inspiration to take photos of her with it >3< Originally I was planning to only take my big Iple girls with me, but in the last minute thought that this might be a good chance to get photos of Mel's new dress and brought her along too~ I'm really happy that I did, I love the photos that I managed to take, especially the last one with the dress floating in the wind! ♥

I've always loved playing around with my dolls' hair and Mel's is one of my favorites~ I think up-do like this makes her even more beautiful ♥ And in case you haven't noticed, roses are one of my fav hair decorations XD I recently cut this wig a little bit too, so that there are these shorter sections in the front :)

I saved my personal favorite photos for last, though! ♥ Starring Zinnia, my wonder babe *o* She's probably my most photogenic doll, my camera definitely loves her XD Every time I put her in front of my camera, I fall more and more in love with her...

Zinnia was with me on our summer cottage last summer too, though she only had a summer dress back then... This year I wanted to take some photos with a nice bikini x) I think I've had this fabric for over half a year, but of course I didn't manage to sew anything until a few days before the trip X'D

This was the first time I took photos of her with this wig. It's actually the one I got as the blind wig when I ordered her default two-tone wig from Leekeworld >:3 Back then I was sure that the extra wig won't be anything nice and I'd sell it right away, but boy was I wrong... They sent a perfect one :I

As a character, Zinnia is a former professional model (can't you tell ;3), now running a modeling agency of her own :) I guess she still does some modeling herself every now and then~

I really hope I get to visit our summer cottage more later this summer too, I love taking photos there! But I often have work shifts when my family is going, so we'll see >3<

Hope you liked these photos and wish you a great start of the week! ♥
