Final Shots (hxh)


The one I entered.  It's not really what I had in mind.  But this time I couldn't get what I originally wanted - especially when I wait until last 2 hours of submit to try something new :p.


The alternate last shot that I didn't use.

Day Thirty

The hat and coat Raquelle is wearing are old and well used.  My grandma made them for my mom's barbie when my mom was just a kid.  So these barbie clothes are being played with by 3 generations now.

Day TwentyNine


Thanks to Luna for the reminder, if she hadn't reminded me I'd totally be OUT.  I forgot!!  I'm soooo beyond glad this is almost over.  I've been struggling to figure out what to do recently, and I think it's really showing in my photos in the drop of creativity and quality.

Day TwentyFour

Meh, off night.  Not in the mood to shoot.  Yes it's overly bright with serious hotspots, it was intentional.  No the background isn't supposed to be pure white, it was a lavendar color to begin.

Day Fifteen


Busy day, forgot about challenge.  I'm not really happy with it, what I wanted to do I'm not sure how to yet.  Maybe another day I'll get it figured out.

Day Thirteen

Raquelle had been trying on outfits for the big award show, she likes this one as you can tell by the smile on her face.

Day Twelve

On Raquelle's last day before getting back to the grind of being a real 'babe' her significant other came for a visit.  He may look familiar to you.  Things between Eugene and Rapunzel didn't quite work out, and Eugene took fancy to Raquelle... you know how those celebrity type things work out.

Day Ten

Bubble bath time!

I'm not really happy with this one.  I'm running out of 'casual' around the home type shots.  Only 2 more days then onto my her next set of 'scheduled activity' haha

Day Eight


Raquelle takes a rest in her livingroom by a warm fire.

So, I was trying to create a look as if the lamp actually worked and was on - for that I was shining the small flashlight on the lamp.  It wasn't quite strong enough so I tried to help it with some dodging, but I think I failed at that. :)  I have things I now have to do for the day so I can't retry, oh well!

Day Seven

After a week of being super buy at photoshoots, Raquelle is starving!  So she sits at home enjoying a nice juicy burger, fries, and a drink.  Since she has another busy week scheduled next week, Raquelle plans on just relaxing and chillin' while she can.

Day Six


Day six, simple pose.  This will be the end of this outfit for the challenge.  You'll see a new one for the next six days :D

Day One


Meet Raquelle.  She's my model for now.  She does whatever I ask her to do, no questions asked.  I just plan on having fun taking 'portraits' of barbie.  I'm sure they will never hold much personality as using a real human because real eyes speak so loudly while plastic flat painted on eyes are, well, lifeless :)
