It all started a few days ago.
Maki arrived at the club room. She was the first one to arrive. "Maybe I can do this now while the girls aren't here." She thought to herself as she took some paper and a pen from her school bag. The girl sat down and started writing with a big smile on her face. She was so focused at her task, she didn't even notice Nico coming in. The black haired girl stood silently behind her friend, trying to peek over her shoulder. "AH! A letter to Santa?" Nico shouted startling Maki. "You still believe in Santa? Ahah!" Maki's face became red, not only from embarrassment but also from anger. "Of course! Mister Santa is real!" At that moment, the other μ's members showed up. They're all used to Nico and Maki bickering with each other but they still felt the need to ask what was up. Maki explained what happened. "Nico, you shouldn't tease Maki for her beliefs." Kotori softly voiced. "Beliefs?? Even you, Kotori?" Maki was sad at the realization that none of her friends believed in Santa Claus and stormed out of the room. "This isn't good..." Nozomi was concerned. For the following days, the red haired girl would occasionally glare at her idol friends making the overall mood difficult to bear. And, needless to say, it was affecting their practices. "Nico, you have to do something about this." Umi urged the third year student. She was about to shout "WHY ME" but then glanced over Maki and felt bad. "Alright. I'll think of something." At home, Nico was checking her social media, like she always did, trying to figure out a way to make amends. And that's when the light shone upon her. On her time line, she saw an add for a town event called "Greet Santa". That was it. Nico quickly messaged all the μ's girls and devised a plan to surprise Maki. A couple of days later, after school, they waited for Maki at the clubroom. "I'm here. Let's practice." Maki's words were dry. "Not today. We have somewhere important to go." Eli announced as she placed a blindfold on Maki. The latter struggled of course. Who in their sane mind would blindfold someone else like this? Somehow, they safely arrived at their destiny. Honoka took Maki's blindfold off. "We're here. Go say hello to Mister Santa." Maki looked at her friends and then forward. She spotted a gorgeous Christmas tree and a big red chair. It was Santa's chair. "Girls... Thank you." Happy tears rolled down her face.

Here's the photo I took for Petite Idol Studio featuring my favourite Nozomi figure!
This garage kit was my absolute dream item of Nozomi's so she means a great ton to me! I never thought I'd ever get her and it'd only be a distant dream, so taking this photo and spending time with her now that I do own her made for a great bonding experience~
I had hoped she would fit the winter theme most because of her outfit! I can't take credit for painting this garage kit since I did not, though I did my best to showcase the amazing job the first owner of her did. Now that she's at her new forever home, I wanted to take this as an opportunity to show her to the world for the first time.
This was taken on a snowy day in my backyard! In the background, you may see the snow-covered area where a small stream flows with a bridge to walk over it. The snowy-forest scenery made it a perfect day to take a photo of Nozomi in her adorable winter boots, so I had to go for it! The photo makes a lot of Nozomi's features pop and she looks so tall overall! Nozomi really seems as if she is casually taking a stroll and enjoying her day. I adore how it turned out in the end.
I hope everyone can find inspiration to take at least one photo of their merchandise in nature sometime (being careful and safe, of course)! It was a very new experience for me and I'm glad Petite Idol Studio exists for this very reason. Trying something new with a figure that means a lot to me brought me much closer to Nozomi and I have a bigger appreciation for toy photographers and nature alike.
I hope to see a couple of more photos before the event ends! Happy Photography!
