Photo compilation: January-February 2023

Hello dolly-friends and welcome back to another Photo compilation, the series where I share all the photos that I shared on Instagram and other social media during the previous two months. For some reason, it's March already, which means time to share the photos from January and February. 

As some of you know, my ring light broke, and I had to repair it, and also in January I got sick and had to do a lot of catching up with school. Because of all of this, I didn't publish any new photos during January. In fact, most of them are from the same photoshoot, and I've just been spreading them through the month of February. 

Back in early February, I had quite a relaxed week at school, so one Saturday I asked Mr. Monster if we could go somewhere to take some outdoors photos. We didn't have any clue on where to go, so we decided to try to go to this beach area that has lots of rocks, since we thought it would be quiet. We know the area, but we aren't super familiar with it, so we didn't know if there will be many good spots for photos. We went with an open mind and in full adventure mode, and we were not disappointed.

This first photo of Victoria was taken at the first spot we found. It was a little nook on the beach, that looked almost like a tiny bay (for lack of a better way to describe it). I was also at a lower level than the rest of the beach and the promenade that's nearby, so while there were people walking by the promenade, we were basically alone. This beach is full of this "nooks", and some of them are easy to access because they've built some steps or a ramp, but others you would have to walk through some rocks. 

We didn't stay for too long at the first place, as we were concern our car might not be parked at a proper spot, so we took it and drove to the second spot, which had a proper parking area. Close to that area we saw a ramp that look like it could be an access to the beach, so we followed it. Best decision ever, as we found a wonderful 2nd spot. 

To get to this spot, we passed the back of a local restaurant that is just by the sea. I thought it could look nice to take a pic of Victoria pretending she's walking. This might be my favorite photo from the entire set, even though it didn't get much love on Instagram. 

I did take a bunch of photos of the new girl but, when I was editing them, I realized most of them had the exact same pose. You could think I photoshopped her into different backgrounds.

Before we went home, we walked by the promenade to see if we could find other spots in case we came back another time (the sun was about to set in no time). We did find another nook, but I wasn't very inspired to take photos there. I got this photo of Victoria that, while I don't love the pose, the background looks interesting.

Finally, I also shared this photo of the Barbie Looks #12 that didn't make the cut on the final post, but I did post on Instagram. 

I hope you're all doing well. I have a couple of busy weeks ahead of me, but around mid-March I think I'll have more spare time. I haven't got time to do anything doll related because, of course, as soon as I said I wanted to start a sewing project, teachers started dumping a lot of work onto us, so I haven't even started. 

Right now I can't figure out what I want to post about next. So I guess I'll just wait a couple of weeks until I'm free from exams and give it a thought. Until then, this is pretty much what I have to share, but hope I'll be back as soon as possible.

Take care.
