If you were here from the start or read back to The Beginning, then you saw the balloon photoshoot Zoe and I did for my blog launch. It was a crazy hectic day, some of which you can read about here. Anyway, all of the excitement, adrenaline, exhaustion, and the sheer ridiculousness of wearing a fancy Betsey Johnson party dress and carrying black, white, silver, and pink balloons around random places in Portland led to some serious pictures, some weird pictures, and some crazy silly pictures! It was interesting - we got some weird looks, a lot of smiles, and some sweet comments from passersby.
Once Zoe figured out it was her opportunity to tell me what to do and have me actually listen, she started thinking up some fun ideas. And then some funny ideas.
Fight those balloons!!
It was randomly windy at times. Ever tried to control a giant bunch of balloons? Yeah, it's more the other way around.
Somehow we stuffed all of those balloons into her car. Along with her snowboard and all sorts of things she stores in there... We went to several different locations, so we had to keep carefully stuffing the balloons in and taking them back out of the car. Oh, and Zoe was smart enough to remember to crack a window for the balloons, lest they pop and die!
Somehow, amidst all of the crazy photoshoot poses we were thinking up, we started talking about tae kwon do (which I did for three years in junior high and high school). I think it was something like this:
Zoe: "LOOK POWERFUL!"
Me: How? Hehe... Like the tae kwon do power stance?
Zoe: HAH yeah. Oooh you should totally do an intense kick!
Doing tae kwon do on railroad tracks in heels is hard work. Sometimes a reward nap is necessary. Which then turns into "try to look like you're dead!"
So much fun. Thanks again for the amazing photos Zoe!!
What GREAT pictures! You look fabulous! Totally jealous of the Betsy Johnson dress ;]
ReplyDeleteP.S. Got my package from you today! Totally adorable! I LOVE all the little details. Thanks again so much!
Thanks, Sarah! It was a lot of fun!
DeleteSo glad you like your jewelry set. I really liked making it! =)
still can't get over how pretty that Betsey Johnson dress is! and what a fun photoshoot! i can never pull off anything like that in public for sure. i'm too shy. but it has always been a dream of mine to do something like that. maybe someday. :)
ReplyDeleteOh you totally could, Aizzing! I am actually not a particularly outgoing person but I think a few things helped. First, the photographer is one of my best friends in the world - she is like a sister to me, so it was just fun and funny and not uncomfortable, you know? I think I would have felt a lot more awkward if I didn't know the photographer so well.
DeleteAnd also with something like this there was no way for me NOT to stand out like crazy walking around town with a hot pink dress and balloons. So I just figured what the heck... everyone's staring already so why not just go all out?
But anyway I do understand feeling shy about it. I hope you do a crazy photoshoot someday though! I would love to see what you come up with!!
So cute!!! Love these photos :)
