Lets talk props, more specifically balloons. I have a love/hate relationship with them. They look great in photos, but they are a pain to deal with. They pop while inflating, they pop in the car (and scare the living daylights out of me!) or then if they survive it all the way to the location, they pop once there and make the poor kid cry or they let go of the balloon before the photo has even been taken!!
In this case, I had told the Mom that I had a big pink balloon that I wanted to use, filled with confetti. This is what happened:
- First ballon was under deflated. Couldn’t use it.
- Tried again, this time I over inflated it, it burst, in my office. Confetti EVERYWHERE.
- Tried again, this time, helium tank ran out.
- Arghhhh!!
- Used bubbles instead 🙂
But who needs balloons when you have a gorgeous family to photograph?!
