:adventures of jenny and her balloon:

thanks jenny {and john - ideas' man and balloon holder extraordinaire} for coming out with me bright and early to practice a few techniques and situations! ever since my own wedding, when i really started to love blogs and amazing photographers, i envied photos with huge balloons.  last week jenny agreed to help me out.  i really didn't know where to start, but knew there was inspiration to be found. with pinterest in mind, i started gathering images.  i gathered big balloon photos.  i found perspectives, cropping techniques, and movement that stood out.  i found over the top photo shoots that will {maybe not quite yet} help me step outside the box.  then we gathered up some supplies and headed out.... here's what i captured:

i learned quite a bit, especially that i enjoy trying to tell a story with photos.  i didn't see it until i came home and threw the photos on the computer that i found i enjoyed when the balloon and jenny showed a bit of conflict or feeling.  walking away with the balloon or the feeling that something was missing {maybe andy ;) } but a story was forming.  maybe a bit more planning beforehand, maybe not - i like spontaneity too!

feel free to shout out suggestions or inspiration for next time!
