First Post - Welcome! - and a Romantic Photoshoot

I've been in the BJD hobby for almost 10 years (April's the anniversary) and I never really created a blog or discussed my experiences about it. I'm a member of Den of Angels (Pinkbear) and used that as the primary platform for the hobby. I've come a long way in this hobby to finally feel content, making life long friends along the way, and building a collection that I'm very proud of.

My first entry for this blog is going to be a photoshoot highlighting my only two SD+ sized dolls. I've been wanting to do a romantic themed photoshoot with these two for some time. When Liam (Iplehouse nYID Andrew) arrived, I paired him with Elise (Delf Lishe) and I thought they worked quite nice together. I don't know if I will develop more photo stories but this is just the beginning.

They're beautiful dolls and photograph well together, highlighting the unique differences between their sculpts. Elise is about 7 years older than Liam, in terms or production dates. A point that I wanted to focus on when posting this to show the change in sculpting trends over the years. The Lishe, sculpted by Cereberus Project (sold by Luts), was created during the time 2005-2006 when dolls had larger eyes, were more stylized. Liam on the other hand is very realistic, as is Iplehouse's esthetic from 2008 to present day.

I'll write more about my dolls and thoughts on the hobby in later posts! :)

Here's the photoshoot:
