Hello hello! We must catch up. Do find somewhere comfy and get yourself a cuppa.
Yes, as you may have guessed from the title of this post, and indeed the rather large balloon, we’re celebrating today. Four years of Hello Freckles. I’ll be honest, it’s something that very nearly didn’t happen due to a lot of negativity that rather unfortunately, led me to consider stopping this whole blogging thing. Thankfully, I’m trying to work past that and have decided that the negativity should only push me to create even better content. Don’t get bitter, get better and every other quote along those lines.
So when I thought about what I wanted to do to celebrate four years, I knew I wanted it to be something fun. Believe it or not though, it’s actually more difficult to shoot with a balloon than I first thought. With the wind trying to blow it in the opposite direction, being aware of the helium and knowing if I let go it would just fly up and away, then of course attracting an audience. This is what happens when you shoot photos in the middle of the Easter break at a public place looking slightly more dressy than anyone would expect. We managed though and I’m pleased to now share these with you. Here’s to another year ahead, ey?
Also, as a little thank you for following and the support, I’ve put together a giveaway. There’s a Chanel eyeshadow palette up for grabs so whether you fancy that as a little treat for yourself, or it’s something you think might be a great little gift for someone else, feel free to enter!

These photos are gorgeous, definitely worth the effort and strange looks. We had giant balloons at our wedding and they looked beautiful but trying to get perfect shots with the bridesmaids holding their balloons was hilarious in the North East wind!
