Before and After with Mika

Anyway, I am not happy with the afters of any of the shots, even though they are better than the originals.  I just am still trying to figure out how to take pictures of a doll inside a book shelf without shadows everywhere. :/

Bonus pictures - my daughter wanted me to take a picture of Mika with her stuffed animal, Ammy.  So here are those:
