The Girl With The Red Balloon

This post is something I have wanted to do for a while, something creative and fun.
There are many reasons why I wanted to do this series of photos, but here are a few:

– To test out my awesome new lens; the 35mm 1.4.
– To buy helium balloons, sadly the helium ran out before I could suck it up and make funny voices haha.
– To do something a bit different for myself, photography-wise. I had been shooting a lot of weddings this summer and not too much else.
– To try out some new editing techniques in Lightroom.
– To let viewers of my photos get more of an idea of my personality.
– To have some fun with someone that is very important in my life.

So, without further ado please enjoy these photos and let me know what you think! 🙂

Lift-off!!
If you hadn’t already figured it out: the girl with the red balloon is my amazing friend and lovely assistant on engagement shoots; Allissa Best! Isn’t she pretty? 🙂 Gorgeous.Such a cutie! Then we switched it up!!Red Toms are what I wear on most of the weddings I shoot – SO comfy.I can fly too! With the 35mm we can take lg photos 😛

Allissa is in Jamaica right now with another one of my amazing friends; Aron. They left for a month and are helping out at an orphanage there. I miss them, but I know there are doing great things in Jamaica and are a blessing to those around them. I love you two and I am excited for you to return home soon! 🙂

Love, Marie

PS For the fashionistas out there; Aliissa’s dress is from ModCloth (so cute!) and mine is from Hollister.
