About Reborns

A reborn baby is a beautifully handcrafted doll designed to look and feel like a real infant, often with astonishing realism. Artists carefully sculpt, paint, and root each feature—from soft mohair strands to gentle blushing and lifelike expressions—creating a doll that evokes the tenderness of a newborn. Whether cherished for comfort, collected as art, or simply admired for their craftsmanship, reborns offer a unique connection that brings warmth, joy, and a sense of calm to those who hold them close.

About Me,
(The Artist)

Hi! I'm Brandy Taft = a passionate reborn artist based in the greater Louisville area of Kentucky, and a proud momma of two amazing boys who inspire me every day. For over five years, I’ve poured my heart into the art of creating lifelike reborn dolls—each one crafted with care, patience, and a deep love for realism. From delicate features to hand-rooted hair and expressive eyes, I strive to bring every baby and toddler to life in a way that feels soulful and true.

This isn’t just a hobby—it’s a calling. Reborning allows me to blend artistry with emotion, offering comfort, joy, and connection to collectors and caretakers alike. Every doll I create is a reflection of my dedication to authenticity and the quiet magic of newborn innocence.
