The Truth About Being a Doll Blogger

Hi everyone!
I thought it would be really fun to make a post about what it's like to be a blogger, what I hope a lot of my fellow bloggers can relate to.;) I'm going to be inserting pictures of my dolls so that non-bloggers can enjoy this post, too.;D
 
You can never go anywhere special without bringing something, a doll or a toy, to photograph.
For some, you can't go anywhere at all without a trusty toy in your bag. I am usually like that.;) I went to a house that my oldest sister was house sitting to spend the night, and I made sure I brought a couple of tsums in case their house had a good photographing place.;)
 

You can never look at anything the same way.
Wow, that's a really pretty tree you just passed, with the sun coming through the leaves, I bet that tree is perfect for bokeh... MOM! PULL OVER! I need to get a picture with bokeh!XD
 
You get used to your dolls falling.
And even sometimes, they fall into the best pose, and you get the picture that made getting outside even worth it!
 
Getting up at 5 am to experiment with the sun doesn't seem as crazy as it would have before you started blogging.
I've always wanted to do this, and I have taken pictures really early in the morning, but not as early as I would have liked.;D
 
You never knew it was possible to want to meet someone who lives on the other side of the country as much as you do now.
I'm looking at all of my blogger friends!;D
 
Your mind literally never stops trying to think of new blog post ideas.
"How can I engage my readers? Would everyone like a post like this? What post of mine has the most views and comments and why is it most liked? What has no one done before? How can I change this current event in my life into a photostory?"
It's really quite exhausting.XD
 
Commenting every day all day becomes your new norm.
You also learn how to be positive and look for the best of a post.:D
 
It's awkward to take pictures out in public of your dolls.
Although I've gotten used to this, it's still weird being a fifteen year old taking pics of my dolls. I just try to stay totally and utterly into my photography, so I don't make eye contact or anything.XD

I hope you all liked this post, it was fun to write! Do you agree with any of these? Do you have any other ones to add?:)

  2. All totally true! Except I usually don't bring my dolls places where they could get damaged. :) Meeting other doll fans is fun; I never knew so many teens+ were into dolls!
    Thanks for writing!
