Unofficial couple Onyx and Sawyer. They have a complicated relationship, even though they are not in one. Although one day I hope they would overcome their fears and struggles, for now they are just employer and employee.

I think the interaction between Onyx and Sawyer is really cute, and like Allie said, really well done with the low lighting.

Oh these are such cute shots. Despite saying they're not a couple (yet), they really do feel like date night shots.

These are lovely. Like others said, the low lighting is working perfectly for look you are aiming for.

So I've been working on a Puma-themed photoshoot. It's not completely finished, yet, but here are some of my favorite shots so far!

What a fun group shot.
It's amazing how doll & toy photographers end up getting gigs with companies; I know of several who kind of fell into it. Maybe you should hit up Puma to do some promo photos

I like that you have a budding athlete amongst your crew, and she has attitude, too.

Thank you so much everyone!
@Alliecat: That's definitely an idea. I didn't know that there were collectors like that!
@Elfy: I know. She just keeps getting more and more attitude!

These are all great. Such a variety of outfits & poses (and attitudes - looks like you have some top-level athletes in that area  )

"Plastic Action" and "Sir Dork" are 2 figure photographers that have had agreements with various companies. Not too familiar with the first one because I just discovered him, but it looks like he's done a lot of commercial shoots. It would be fun to see some dolls break into that world

Edit Reason: Is unobservant!

I love the backstories on your dolls! They seem so realistic, it's awesome... the pictures are dynamic and have a lot of heart. I love the light flares in the backgrounds of some of your shots also. It gives such a dreamy feel ♥♥ I agree you should look into commercial stuff, your stuff is great. Also if you ever have time, a picfic or story series would be cool! (Though I know that's a ton of work but reading your insights into how your doll/characters develop makes me interested in knowing what happens next with them!)
EDIT: Duh! I just realized you have a picfic link in your sig to your site. My bad!! I will definitely check it out.
