I LOVE Halloween!! It is honestly my favourite holiday of the year! And, I absolutely love creating magical Halloween photos! They’re so much fun for the whole family, not just the kids. In fact, my witches session is great fun for a group of girlfriends or a mother and daughter!
I provide the cauldron and the magic lightening bolts! You’ll need your own costumes, but I do have a broom, a couple of witch hats and a long blue cape that you can borrow if you like!
(The fire is NOT REAL. It is added with Photoshop.)
The very first fantasy image I ever did was of my son as a wizard on Halloween. He was in to Harry Potter at the time and wanted to have a lightening bolt coming out of his magic wand!
I happened to have a new portable light to experiment with, and so we went into the backyard and took some photos at dusk!
They turned out really well so I added a lightening bolt in Photoshop to his favourite one. The photo was a hit with all his friends and family! My other son wanted a magical photo too, so I did one for him next.
I had so much fun with these photos that I made a huge paper mâché cauldron. It end up taking way longer than I thought and costing an arm and a leg in supplies at Michaels! But once I had it, I wanted to share it with other kids who might also love these magical Halloween photos!
And the rest, as they say, is history!
