What's a girl to do when she gets too old to play with Barbies but also doesn't want to become one of those creepy Barbie collectors that line them up on their shelves at home? The answer - Barbie Fine Art!!!

I started taking photos of my Barbies when I got my first camera. Now all grown up as a fashion photographer by day, and a secret Barbie enthusiast by night, my photo project was born. I can't pretend that my photos have a deeper meaning than pure amusement. Plus, I like to obsess about things so this way I get to combine the two. While obsessed with Rasputin, I thought it might be funny to see Ken with his blonde hair and blue eyes as a smelly Russian man. Turns out it really, really is. I still giggle every time I see that picture.
