Halloween 2013



A Ninja


Tigger (Again!)





While T was at soccer practice one evening, a sweet friend (and amazing photographer) gave me a mini-lesson on taking Halloween pictures.  All the above pics are ones I took as she was teaching.  (I need to find a day when I can take T here to take some shots of him in costume too.) 

Some of the great tips included:

-- Find a late afternoon anytime around Halloween when the weather is fair (ours was very grey but not raining), a few days before hand is ideal when the kids aren't distracted by wanting to get out the door to trick or treat or completely exhausted afterwards

-- Capture your child simply "being" their character

-- Find a location outside without a distracting background

-- Capture close-ups of special details on their costume they may want to remember 

-- Try standing on gravel, bark or sidewalk instead of standing on grass due to the green color cast on faces

Our 3 Amigos!  :)

After S went to bed, my mother-in-law and I took the older 2 boys to a church that was doing a walk through Narnia -- something we just couldn't pass up with our T being so passionate about Narnia!

They did such an amazing job!











The perfect ending to a special day!
