I Like Big Balloons And I Cannot Lie

- October 15, 2012 | by April -

Oh. My. God. Becky, look at her balloon. It’s so big…

I can’t believe it’s so round. It’s just out there.

Last week, I got it in my mind that I required new photos for Blacksburg Belle. Saturday morning, I sent my husband on a mission to find a GIANT balloon.

Being the amazing husband that he is, he called me within fifteen minutes of embarking on the journey to tell me that our local party store had a balloon that would barely fit out their door. I said, “Yep. I want that one.”

It wouldn’t fit in our car, so Kris had to drive back to the house at approximately 5 miles per hour gripping the balloon out the window. Luckily, the store is only a couple blocks from our house. Here are some of the pictures from that day.

    Adorable! My favorite is the one of you in the forest with your back towards the camera. Oh, and your boots kick ass! πŸ™‚

      Thanks Sage! That’s one of my favorites, too. My boots are vegan–no leather! How cool is that?

    How awesome is Kris for driving 5 miles per hour with the darn balloon in his hand? You are one lucky lady.

    Love these photos. So fun and playful and full of personality – they are so you! You have such beautiful countryside where you are. And in Autumn – my favourite season. Beautiful leaves and coloured fields.

    I have been wanting some new photos myself. The one I have was taken at a jewellery making class at someone’s house – right outside their garage. So the photo of me is nice but their buckets and spades and rakes are all in the background. So profesh! Might have to get hubby to take me out to get some new ones. Hope they turn out as nice as yours:)

      Thanks Coral! Fall is my favorite, too.

      Hahahahaha…yes, get your man involved. My trick is to take TONS of shots so you have lots to choose from.

    Oh April!

    You guys had such a fun and cute session! Love every single shot you took, and, damm, you really do show how much in love with one another you are both in the care Kriss took to fulfill your desire as in the photos you took together! Keep it up!!!

    Oh, and I got to say you look so so beautifull in that close-up! Girl, you rock! And now I feel so ashamed of my poorly done photo session for my website shots… hehehehe ;P

    XOXO
