Yes it’ s that time of year again – Halloween! We have fun making seasonal balloon sculptures all year long, but Halloween really let’s us cut loose with some silly,spooky, scary stuff!
We get incredibly busy at this time of year — along with the multitude of birthday events, we also get hired to provide balloons and face painting for tons of fall/Halloween events. What this means to you, is that we may have a tough time putting your event into the schedule over the next 5-6 weeks. If you have an occasion coming up, please call us ASAP!
Now for the fun stuff. Here are some photos of things we have made for past Halloween events. The creepy green hand coming out of a box while holding a dislodged eyeball (the photo to the right) is our latest spooky creation. Scroll down for more photos.

T Myers and Pioneer Balloons are once again sponsoring TJAM on the Road! This year they have incorporated two awesome balloon artists to teach – and entertain – at each 1-day session. They will be hitting 10 cities over the next month or so, and if you have a chance to get in on this, do it!!
As you can see, much fun can be had at TJOTR, and you can learn some really cool designs from 2 awesome instructors.

All Things Balloon, Inc has teamed up with Hayward Gaude Photography!
We have finally found a great solution to one of our long-term problems — how do you really showcase a fantastic balloon creation? Unless you have a really cool photography studio handy, you probably just try to get a clean background and hope you can edit the photo — if you have the time and software.
To get great photos, you need a great photographer who already has with lots of lights and high-end camera equipment in his studio. One who knows his stuff, and can apply his expertise to each unique circumstance.
We have found a fantastic photographer– Hayward Gaude photography — to help us bring our balloon creations to life. Hayward has the skills, and the equipment, to make the photos you see on our website really “pop!”
We plan on using Hayward’s talents to gradually replace all of the photos on our website with professionally produced photos. Here are the first two photos to show you what I’m talking about–
For your information, the “Not-Professional Photographer” photos took me a long time to produce (using Photoshop Elements 11), and they look pretty OK, if you don’t look too close. The photos Hayward took really adds a lot of depth and eliminates those pesky shadows, giving us a beautiful idea of what the balloon creation actually looked like when it was built.
Hayward Gaude Photography is a local boutique photography studio in North San Antonio near Helotes specializing in Heirloom Quality fine portraiture for your home. Their goal is to deliver the absolute finest in photographic wall art that you will be proud to hang in your home for years to come.
Hayward and his wife Shannon have been in San Antonio since 2005 and decided that they absolutely love working with families and children and focused our boutique photography business around that specialty — which makes them an ideal match for us at All Things Balloon, Inc.!
I am really looking forward to working with HG Photography, and improving our portfolio of balloon photos. And if you need some fantastic family fotos, you should visit their website or give them a call at (210) 265-1101 to set up a no-obligation appointment. Shannon and Hayward are extremely nice people to deal with, and I’m sure you will be pleased with your results!
