Kicking off the new thread with a photo dump I guess. February photos, doing Valentine's again this year. I think next year I'll have to do something different.

Trying out a new wig for Katie, I don't think she's ever had bangs before, it changed her look quite a bit.

I wasn't planning on doing this with so many of my girls, it just kinda snowballed into almost all of them.

It's why the background is so bland. I was only planning on two. But pink dresses were too much of a siren call.

The dress under that sweater wasn't meant for an L chest like Samus. That sweater is doing a lot of work....

If it's your first doll, try a stock MDD! They're easiest to find clothes for compared to DDP and the different proportions to of the Mochi-Ashi legs. On the other hand, if your heart truly leans towards one size/shape over the others, maybe go for it! There are no wrong answers.

Finally dug up my old camera and took a few test shots of my adorable daughter. It took me a few months but I've settled on the name Séverine, Sevvie for short. I'm so happy to have her, and I hope I can take better photos of her soon.

If you love her and shes the one then go for it anon.
>Whats a good camera to start taking photos with?
This is highly dependent on budget, bells-and -whistles, and personal preference.
Budget would be a cellphone with tripod.
A several years old DSLR from Canon can be cheap quite too.
Most doll/photohraphy pros would go for a full frame Sony a7v. (Sony Alpha 7 V) or even a fancier Leica cameras. The rabbit hole is deep here.
A swivel touch screen is a nice thing on the camera for doll photos so you don't have bend as down low much.

Like the other anon said, a phone camera will be fine for a great deal of people. If you're unsure about spending money, try shooting with your phone for a while to see how much you like those shots. If you find you still want more, you can buy an older model refurb dslr for a couple hundred, and that'll give you a taste for what it's like shooting with a real camera. If you stick with that for a while, you'll come to what you like and dislike about photography, and you can use that to help influence any future upgrades, being new lenses or new bodies. I just recently upgraded my old d3300 (which I bought used) to a new zf (both are Nikon camera) and it's been fun getting used to a new camera.
The hard truth is that you can take good and bad photos with any camera, so don't feel like you need to spend a lot of money in order to "get started" with photography. Something, something, the best camera is the one you have with you. I am also fairly new to taking photography seriously, so take all I say with a grain of salt.
