Finally! Time for some more photos from that just for fun, styled photo shoot I did a month or so ago …
First of all – SUPER HUGE thank you to my friends and family who helped me with this. Just for fun! So so so so grateful to you all!
To Maggie – for shooting with me and letting me borrow your dining room chairs
To Angela – for getting all dolled up and driving all the way out there
To Daniel and Jenae – for wrangling 42 balloons. In the wind.
To Andrew – for showing up even though you had other things to do, untangling balloons and carrying 6 chairs at once.
Y’all are the best!
And I’m sorry the wind foiled our plans.
Boy did it ever.
I had these grand plans and mental images of cascades of balloons in a rainbow of colors. 6 chairs. 6 colors of the rainbow (just purple. Not indigo AND violet). One gorgeous girl in all white.
It was going to be fantastic.
But it turns out I picked an absurdly windy day. The 42 balloons (7 each of the 6 colors) turned into about 5. We lost all the green ones to the wind, we lost about 5 different ones to popping (being blown against something), we lost pretty much the rest of them to a huge knot. Andrew and Maggie spent a long time trying to untangle the balloons from one another, but it was pretty futile.
Check out these behind-the-scenes images for a look at what we were dealing with …
Oh well.
Next time.
We did untangle a couple, and got some fun shots. How could we not with this model?
These aren’t the images I was planning when I set up this styled photo shoot, but they’re fun for other reasons ….
take a look!
P.S. This week was ANGELA’s birthday! I’m sure she’d love to hear from you in the comments!

I love how Angela did her hair! And the pink shoes and flower were so sweet. I love the concept. You’ll definitely have to do it again. Too bad the wind was against you. Maybe you should come to Phoenix where it’s hardly ever windy. I’ll bet Miranda would pose for you. It looks like you were at COC, right? I can picture the whole thing up on one of those hills nearby (if there are any left).
what a fun shoot! i love it
The first one makes me think of the beginning of one of those CSI shows. You just know something is about to happen.
Hey thats me! I like them a lot!!
I love the concept and the pics look great. I really like the one with Angela looking as though she is about to let the bundle of balloons go.
Do you do headshots? If so how much? I need some!
