Tips for Great Halloween Photos




Halloween photo ops are some of my favorites of the whole year. I can’t resist taking my children to a pumpkin patch and snapping away. I love the bold orange colors, especially if you can catch the late afternoon lighting.
Here are some more ideas for your Halloween photos:
1. Take before and after photos of your child. Have them pose in the same location with their regular clothes on and then with their costume on.
2. Turn off your camera’s flash and set your camera on a nighttime setting to capture a spooky mood.
3. Alternately, turn on the flash and cover it with a colored sticky note (green or blue work best) and take the photo. Add to the spooky effect by having a light source, like a flashlight or candle glowing in their face.  Photo on left has regular flash while photo on right has blue sticky note on flash.
4. Be sure to take a photo of your children pouring out their loot of candy after trick or treating.

Halloween photos are a must in any year in review family photo book. Happy snapping!
