Happy Monday everyone!
Sorry the post is publishing a little later today. We spent the weekend at the travel + adventure show (met Rick Steves!) and celebrating my dad’s birthday! Then I sat up and watched the Grammy’s. I know, I know…. but sometimes you need to break and enjoy life a little bit.
Today I want to share a little Valentine’s Day photoshoot I did Thursday afternoon. One of my favorite movies is Funny Face staring Audrey Hepburn. I’ve always loved the scene where she release balloons in front of the Arc de Triomphe. Ever since I was little girl I’ve been obsessed with balloons. Well I picked up a small can of helium and some adorable heart balloon. My husband took all the photos as a ran around. You’ll catch glimpses of the garden at my new studio and the beautiful Lake Merritt in Oakland! Be sure to scroll all the way down for details on recreating the look. Wouldn’t photos like this be great for DIY card for someone special!
Wasn’t that fun! Go put on your favorite outfit, run around with some balloons and take a few photos. Seriously it does wonders for you ego :)
Here’s where I found all different materials and accessories:
- Heart-shaped balloons from Paper Source
- Balloon Time helium tank at Michaels craft store
- Pink boat-neck dress – great deal from Forever 21
- Shoes were purchased last year at Anthropologie, but here’s another great option
- Heart pin from Ban.do
- Rose gold necklace from Alexandra Beth on Etsy
- Kate Spade Gramercy Grand bracelet watch from Nordstrom
- Navy tights from Uniqlo
A few folks have asked what products I use on my curly hair too! I love anything from Shea Moisture. My favorite is the curl smoothie, it smells like a tropical cocktail :)
Have a wonderful week!
All photography is by Planning Pretty (my husband this time!). Please feel free to share images but please link back to my site. Thank you!
