Heidi's tips:
Every year... a few days before Halloween comes, I have a check list of photos I want and here they are
1) Costumes hanging up around Halloween decor
2) The sunsetting
3) Halloween treats in a big bowl
4) Buckets my boys will use.
5) Them holding the buckets in their little hands
6) House Decorations
7) My boys in their costumes together with good lighting
8) Picking out our pumpkins
9) Carving pumpkins
10) light the pumpkins and setting them out
11) Getting my boys dressed in their costumes
12) Town decor
13) Halloween treats and baking
14) School and town parade
15) All things that are orange
I do this because... it will guarantee good photos that are not rushed and over posed on Halloween.
