Taking doll photos in the snow is always a challenge, although the photos in the previous post were taken back in early January when we only had a bit of snow, well before two big storms buried everything. I always plan the set-ups inside, put everything on a tray, and head out with my camera. One of the biggest inconveniences in winter is that there's no place to put stuff. The patio furniture is in the garage for the winter, so there's nowhere to put anything other than on the snowy ground. I can't put trays on the garden itself, since it slopes and a tray would just slide off.
There's also no interesting plants in winter to help create a background, so I borrowed several little fake trees from Jan's Christmas village, stuck them into the snow to cover their bases, and sprinkled them with snow. There's not a lot of options for taking photos from different directions, other than a few close-ups...
Once I'd taken some photos, everything was shaken off, and it all went back inside, where everything ended up on heat registers around the main floor to dry off.
A week later we got hit with the first blizzard....

And then another....
So, now there's way too much snow for doll photos. Plus with a Polar vortex stalled over us the past while, it's also way too cold out there.
