Ok, so it’s official. \u00a0I’m a Dollcake <\/a>addict! \u00a0It’s like I’m standing up in a room of other addicts and admitting it!<\/p>\n

What is Dollcake<\/a> you say? \u00a0It is an Australian company that makes the most beautiful gowns and dresses for little girls. \u00a0They are timeless styles – some like beautiful princesses, some are amazing cotton and lace dresses from the olden days and nearly all of them have lace or pearls or other beautiful embellishments! \u00a0People buy them for weddings and events, or some for special daily wear, but photographers also like them. \u00a0And I’m addicted to them because they suit my style of photography which is also timeless like their brand.<\/p>\n

Check out some of the designs I have now. \u00a0Little girls LOVE them. \u00a0When I have little girls coming into my studio, I line up the dresses so they can choose. \u00a0I have a mix of\u00a0Dollcake<\/a> dresses as well as a few from Aliexpress and my own sewing. \u00a0The girls’ eyes open wide – they can’t control themselves. \u00a0“I want to wear this dress Mum,” they whisper to their Mum, a little unsure. \u00a0I say – “You can wear anything you want!” \u00a0The girls sparkle! \u00a0It is magic. \u00a0If it doesn’t quite fit the child, I peg the dress behind them as I know I can hide the pegs behind their back or edit them out of the final photo.<\/p>\n

Today they had a big sale at Dollcake<\/a> and I bought yet another dress – a beautiful red ballgown. \u00a0I woke up this morning and my mouth was drooling. \u00a0It is gorgeous. \u00a0I had to have it for my collection. \u00a0It has the wow factor! \u00a0However I had to ask my husband first, to justify the purchase. \u00a0He doesn’t care about ballgowns and said, it is up to you. \u00a0I needed someone else to give me the go ahead so I rang up my Mum at 7.30am and she said, “Only if you can afford it, Dear.” \u00a0Can I afford it – of course, I tell myself. \u00a0Then I went to my friend Kirsty knowing that she would say “buy the whole shop, Belinda!” \u00a0It was a done deal then – I clicked the payment button on the cart!<\/p>\n

My friend Kirsty is also a Dollcake<\/a> addict. \u00a0She is currently trying to sell other photography props to try and buy another red ballgown in a different size. \u00a0You see her style of photography suits the clothing brand as well. \u00a0Check out her beautiful princess shoots at Kirsty-King Turner Photo art<\/a>. \u00a0She just send me a message “I have 2 dresses and 3 hair piece things sitting in my cart …. Waiting LOL . I could do it if I put 1 dress back but which one …” \u00a0I’m rolling on the ground laughing about this. \u00a0She is a complete addict!<\/p>\n

Later on in the morning she sent me another message in a panic because she bought all the dresses plus got me a fascinator to go with my new red gown which I forgot to buy when I bought the dress. \u00a0“Oh my now I’ll go and have a heart attack !!!! Got you the hat ! \u00a0I feel so bad I’m trying to sell a lens LOL.” \u00a0Poor Kirsty, now selling a lens! \u00a0She has it bad!<\/p>\n

Anyway, to show you how worth while these gowns and dresses are to me, here is some photographic proof below:<\/p>\n
