Looking back 2015 - January-June

Hello everyone! This is Bella. Today I have a Looking Back 2015 January-June. I'll do the next six months in a different post. Enjoy!
January

This post has two pictures which were my first ever pictures that I took of the dolls.
February

Since I started I learned a lot about photography. But this post even it's not the best quality, it was a little different style and that was fun. :)
March

I remember being so proud of this photo-story, and now looking back I'm like "I was proud of these?" They aren't horrible, but I've improved from that so much (I think)!
April

Samantha's birthday party was definitely the best post in April. This is when I switched from my FujiFilm camera to the Canon Rebel which I use now.
May

Ahh! I love this photo so much from this post! Have you noticed that my photos are getting slowly better? March wasn't that good, but April and May were.
June

This photo-shoot was really good! But Saige didn't know how many photos to post and she posted so many photos and some that were almost the same.

So that's Looking Back 2015- January-June! As I said before, I will do the last six months in a different post.

I hope you enjoyed this post! I was looking at the old posts and cringing at most of them but at the same time realizing that I've improved. Feel free to go and take a look around the old posts. I can tell from looking from the pictures that I have improved!

Do you think that I've improved?

Is there something that we used to do and that you liked? Comment if there is!

I hope you enjoyed this post! Comment below if you want the other half of 2015.

Thanks for reading! :)

P.S I haven't been the best at replying to comments, but I am changing and trying to reply to your comments. If you keep commenting I'll get practice by replying to them. ;)

4th of July {An AGPS}

Hey y'all! It's Katrina. I was going through the photos on Bella's computer and found these pictures of me taken on 4th of July (or around there). I thought it would be fun to post them.
Enjoy!


I really like this one!



(I really like this one) I had more of these brick ones but they were too grainy. :(
I kind of like this one even though I have no idea what I am doing!

Of course me being awesome!
I really like this one!

Anastasia at Sunset {An AGPS}

Hello! I am so excited to post this photo-shoot! I probably should say who this is. If you couldn't tell by the title; this is Anastasia. I'm so excited to post this photo-shoot! A couple of nights ago Bella and I went to take some sunset pictures. This was Bella's first time taking sunset pictures and I think they turned out marvelous! But I'll let you take a look and see what you think.
Enjoy!


This photo is like the best! And that bokeh!! 😍😍 
(Hee I found the emojis, but to my credit that bokeh is awesome!)
This one is pretty nice too! 




Ahh! Look at the colors!
😍

This one is slightly dark but I still like it! 🌇
(Look! I couldn't find a sunset picture but I found a sun setting behind buildings.)

I'm not going to tell my sisters about the emojis, but every post I'm going to use at least one!

Do you want to know the best part about these pictures?

These pictures are completely unedited! Straight from the camera no adjusting or editing anything! I don't know if you know this or not but Bella rarely edits any of her pictures. I think in the course of 2 years she's touched up 2 pictures. The rest completely unedited. That's pretty awesome if you ask me!

Bella also says to stop bragging so I'll ask you the normal question then.

Which picture(s) were your favorite?

Do you think Bella did a good job on her first sunset pictures? 

Leave a comment below!

Bye! 

Have you ever taken a sunset photo-shoot?

A Doll's Life Q&A!

Hello everyone! Bella here. Anastasia. What's up? Samantha at your service. Peace hippies! Jk! It's me Saige! Hey! Katrina speaking. Now that everyone is introduced I shall begin. You mean WE will begin. Yes Saige. You are correct. We will begin. (This is why I never do all of us posting at the same time.)

The first questions were by Sophie. Let's begin with those! (P.S Check out *her blog*. She just started so check it out! :) )

Q: Why did you start your blog?
A. I started it! Saige let me answer. I helped Saige start this blog two years ago in January. We had been reading other doll blogs and I thought it would be fun to take pictures of Saige and Samantha and help them post. It was mostly for fun. :)

Q: What tips do you have for newer bloggers?
A: Hard but good question. I would say to not push yourself too hard and to have fun! What also sometimes helps is if you keep in mind why you are blogging. That will help you if blogging gets tough. Also, don't feel like you have to post everyday if you don't want to. But, if you want to post everyday that's up to you! When I decided what days that A Doll's Life was going to put out a post, it was wonderful! Schedules are great things. They make you stick to blogging and posting. If you don't have a schedule (at least for me) I didn't know when to post, if I should post again, maybe not feel like posting because I didn't have that commitment of a schedule. But, on the other hand maybe a schedule is too hard for you and that's okay! There's not a "do this" or "don't do this" for blogging. It's all up to you! Each blog is different so find what works best for you. Experiment with posting, having a schedule, what time works best. Just remember one thing: Have fun with your blog!

From Marissa 

Q: What is your favorite doll?
A: Marissa why did you have to ask that? ;) That question is hard! All the dolls are glaring at me to see who's my favorite. I love all of them! I don't have a favorite. Each are different and have their own personalities and I like them all differently and for different reasons. Sometimes I do favor some dolls at different times. (Right now Anastasia because she's the newest)

Q: (For Katrina) Which of your sisters is most likely to get caught eating cookies in the kitchen in the middle of the night?
A: Haha great question! I would say Saige. Defiantly Saige all the way!

Q: (For Saige) What is your dream job?
A: I either want to be an artist or a horseback rider in the Olympics. (Whatever they're called when they do equestrian at the Olympics)

Q: (For Anastasia) What is your favorite thing to wear on an average day?
A: Well I really like wearing just a pair of yoga pants and a short-sleeve shirt. Nothing fancy. I do like to try and wear some pink or purple each day. ^-^


Q: (For Samantha) What is your favorite hairstyle?
A: I really like Dutch Braids. It's basically a french braid but done backwards. They look really cool!

From Emma

Q: What is your favorite fantasy animal?
A: Um I guess a unicorn. I'm not really into fantasy.

Q: What's your dream job?
A: My dream job would be to work on designing clothes and dolls and taking pictures for AG. I would travel around the world with a doll and take pictures. *sigh* Wouldn't that be so cool??!

From Madison

Q: What is your favorite part about blogging?
A: My favorite part is getting comments from all you guys. I love hearing from you and I love each comment. It makes me happy whenever I get a comment on A Doll's Life latest post. :)

Q: (For Saige) What is your favorite hairstyle?
A: braids. Any kind of braids! Fishtail, french, pigtail braids, french pigtail braids. I love all the different kind of braids!

Q: (For Anastasia) Do you still feel new, or does it seem like you've lived here forever? 
A: I do not feel new here at all! I feel like I've lived here forever and ever! Saige, Samantha, and Katrina are the best sisters!

Q: (For Samantha) Favorite photo-shoot you've ever done?
A: *this* one! No if's and's or but's. Well maybe *this* or *this*. I don't know. I love all the photo-shoots!

Q: (For Katrina) Do you like being featured on this blog?
A: Yes! Of course. Speaking of which Bella needs to take another photo-shoot me. *glares at Bella*

From Lydia

Q: Do you have any advice for fellow bloggers?
A: I have some advice for newer bloggers. (See second question.) But I will say have fun, and don't push yourself too hard. If you can't post everyday it's okay. If you can't post twice a week it's okay! If you only post one week it's okay. You don't want to force yourself to always post and then take the fun out. But, don't take it to the other extreme. Sometimes you need to push yourself sometimes. It's not always going to be easy. There's sometime going to be hard times in blogging. You need to find that in between where you push yourself some, but not too much. I can't tell you where that middle is. You need to find that for yourself.

Q: Do you have any tricks for getting your blog name out in the community?
A: A couple things. If you comment on people's posts and leave your blog url and the bottom of the comment that is helpful. If you just started you might want to comment and then sign your name but add a P.S which would say something like "If you would like to please check out my blog at insertblogname.blogspot.com. " Something like that. Getting your blog name out in the community does take some time like everything. Guest posting would also be good. You post on someone's blog and then they would post on yours. That way you both get exposure. :)

From Anna (she also asked about advice too so see above. :) )

Q: What's your favorite color?
A: Pink! Pink all the way! I like other colors but pink is my favorite. ^-^

Q: How did you come up with your blog name?
A: Well Saige and I both came up with the name A Doll's Life. We threw a couple ideas around and we decided on A Doll's Life because this blog would show about a doll's life.

Q: Any tips for coming up with a good blog name?
A: That's a hard question. Um I would say make sure your blog name has to do with what your blog is about. If you have a art blog name it with something with art in the name. If you have a doll blog don't name it something like "Sky photography. That's all I have.

From mimiamericangirl

Q: How many dolls do you have?
A: There are four dolls in A Doll's Life house. :)

From Light4theLord

Q: Which doll has the most fun hair to style?
A: Katrina. Her hair is the best because it's a nice length and completely straight.

Q: Do any of the dolls play sports?
A: No but Saige wants to try to play soccer.

Q: What's Samantha's favorite movie?
A: Little Women and Anne of Green Gables

Q: What are some blogging goals for 2017?
A: Actually for the past two years we really haven't set any goals. But I would say probably for us to keep posting twice a week. :)

From Shelby-Grace

Q: What hobbies or sports do you do?
A: I don't do any sports but my hobbies are reading, writing, blogging, sewing, and knitting. :)

Q: If you could only buy one more doll ever, who would you choose?
A: I was going to right away say Lea, but as I was thinking about it I really want a Pleasant Company Felicity and a white body Samantha. So since all are retired and are only available on the second hand market, I would decide between one of them if I find one for a good price. :)

Q: What would your dream doll look like?
A: Marie-Grace mold with Felicity's eyes, curly black wig, and a splash of freckles. Wouldn't that doll be so pretty?

Thank you all so much for asking these wonderful questions!
