Through the Seasons: My Favorite Holiday Photos from this Year



Hi guys!
With Valentine's Day weeks away (and all my photo prep finished), I figured I would do a walkthrough of what the 2025-2026 holiday season has looked like for RestlessRoseDolls!

They won't be ranked in any particular order, but I'd love to know your favorites 😊✨

Starting with Fall / Halloween we have Eden, Jo, and Caspian & Jordan 





Kirsten contributed too, on a more Thanksgiving note: 


I made the pie crust with playdoh, which I painted.  I found some random berries on a tree, which I cut up and mixed with strawberry jam, and ya!  I felt a bit insane, but I LOVE how the photo turned out!  

And then my dolls jumped right into Christmas, which is just naturally the most wonderful time of the year ✨


I actually cannot get over my obsession with Ellen in this photo... she looks SO stunning and magical. I'm forever so grateful that I decided to redo her repaint a few months back ♡♡♡


Lili'uokalani also looks majestic in this pic too ♡

And obviously, you can't have seasonal photos without at least one photo of Cielo 


I mean, com'on, at least one of my dolls still needs to put out cookies for Santa. 


The edit in this photo is just everything to me ♡♡♡ I still don't know how I got the lighting to be SO perfect. 

And that brings us to 2026! 


(yes, I made the glasses myself, can't you tell? 😂😭)

And since I am taking a bit of a break from doll photography, I wanted to get all my Valentine's Day photos done and out of the way, because with me... if I don't start insanely early, I'll never get to them. 

So enjoy the sneak peek!  


(this photo has my heart and soul) 


Omg did I mention?  I got Ariel for Christmas!  I renamed her Valentina, and this was her introductory photo.  She couldn't be more perfect for the theme ♡


 

I just adore Melody... and I adore the heart wall I made too... glory they're just perfect.

Well that's all!
These are some of my favorite photos, and I hope you enjoyed them too! 

As always, thanks so much for stopping by 

-Noelle (RestlessRoseDolls)

For the Love of Set Building

 Hi! I'm not dead!  (Well... not physically anyway 😅) I've just been pulled in so  many different directions, and blogging fell on the back burner.  But, my dolls most certainly have not ♡ As a result... I've been doing a lot of set building lately, and I thought, why not do a little behind the scenes post?   I love bts because I spend the whole photo process cringing and laughing and going "wtf am I doing" since I always approach these with no plan.   ✨For example✨  This beautiful photo of Constance above? It was never supposed to be outside.  I'd simply started walking around cutting flowers even though a) I had no clue what doll I wanted to use  b) I didn't have an outfit in mind  c) I had no clue where I was going to take  the photos, and  d) I didn't know how I was supposed to pose the doll, and what backdrop to use. But I prematurely cut the flowers anyway!   And then. The flowers were wilting, so we ...

Revisiting my Collecting Goals -- the blog isn't dead!

                                              Hi Guys! So... technically... I was going to delete my blog, but I'm keeping it for archival purposes... and figured I could maybe possibly... post 😂.   Anyway! It's September 1st, and I figured we could touch on my "Collecting Goals" from earlier this year, and see how I've done! I have an "I see it, I like it, I want it, I got it" personality, which... I think this post will reflect 😂 Here is a quick refresher of my collecting goals (that I made in March) for those of you who have forgotten! Top of my priority list: The AG Gourmet Kitchen  (the original aka the blue one. In my humble opinion, their gourmet kitchens get worse each time. The purple one is okay, the one for sale right now makes me loose faith in humanity. But the blue one?? With that counter space??? The photoshoots I could do oh my gos...
