Tips to make your Halloween photo shoot more memorable

One of the best ways to make your Halloween photo shoot more memorable is to keep it simple. Take it back to basics and just have fun! Use props and costumes that you can easily make at home, or go with a theme that you know your family will love. If you're going to take pictures on Halloween night, set up the shoot before dark.

  • Dress up like a character from a book or movie that you love. You can even go as a character from your favorite book or movie!
  • Take pictures of yourself in front of iconic scenes from your favorite books and movies. For example, take a picture in front of the Hogwarts Express from Harry Potter or at the end of The Wizard Of Oz.
  • Wear a costume that makes you feel like YOU! It doesn't have to be perfect (although it would be great if it was), but it should be something that makes you feel good and comfortable when you are wearing it.
