There were balloons galore at this jungle themed cake smash photo shoot and they worked just brilliantly as a backdrop for all the action.

I’m not for a minute saying that you need to arrive with complex balloons arrangements for your shoot of course.  This was actually a bit of clever planning by the mum in question who had the arrangement made for the party and just picked it up a couple of days early so she could make the most of having it in the photos too.

If you’re planning on bringing balloons along to a photo shoot then they can be a great accessory.  When they’re loose, they don’t tend to work all that well as they blow around quite a lot and provide an interesting prospect for your child to chase rather than getting involved with whatever we’re asking of them.  However, if you join them together with balloon tape (which you can pick up pretty cheaply on Amazon), they can really add to the backdrop.  Using the balloon tape means that you can also use normal balloons just filled up with air and you don’t have to worry about getting them helium inflated which is another cost and hassle saver.
