Newborn Photography Liberty | Hot Air Balloon Baby
This sweet little girl was a lot of fun. Fallon was sleepy, cuddly, and just let me get every single shot I wanted…and then some. I had some new girly props come i,n and I was excited to use them. It doesn’t always work out that you have an opportunity to squeeze in everything you want to use. But this time I did. I was especially excited about the little floral jumper, angel wings…and of course the hot air balloon.
I have used a hot air balloon in the past. And this was before you could go to a prop shop and just buy one. I had to make the stinkin’ thing out of papier mache and a GIANT balloon. I have never in my life done anything this messy. My garage floor was a huge mess…glue everywhere. And these papier mache balloons, well, they don’t last forever, unfortunately. So when one would collapse, I would have to make another. And sometimes I wouldn’t know I needed it for a session until days before. Not always time to come up with a huge handmade hot air balloon.
So I was so stoked to get this one, made by Peppy Poppy. I chose the Neutrally Yours option and just made a pennant banner to match her nursery.
It was perfect for one newborn..love it so much!
Fallon’s nursery has an airplane/aviation theme, so I went with the hot balloon set up and a little pilot’s cap by my girl Bea at Sweet Pea Hats. I am so happy with how it turned out. It’s such fun when parents send you nursery pics and color/themes before the session. The more planning time I have, the better. I am a busy girl, but I am always happy to stay up late making props for my newborn sessions.
Take a look at this beautiful girl and leave her some love! ?Anna is a newborn photographer who specializes in newborns, babies, and families in the greater Kansas City Area.
