I remember when Halloween meant home made costumes – specifically when I was three dressed in black clothes with headband ears, painted on whiskers and a tail safety pinned in place. \u00a0My mom was a witch. Now catalogs come to our house with $150 costumes – the bar has been raised!<\/p>\n
If it’s the new Christmas, you’ll want some quality Halloween pictures. Here are some quick and easy tips to improve your photos:<\/p>\n
1. \u00a0Remember you’re much taller than they are. Squat down to about eye level to avoid top of the head shots (which aren’t nearly as nice to look at as their faces!). This has the added benefit of showing more of the costume.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2. \u00a0Aim for an uncluttered background, such as against a garage door or an empty wall. 50% of an image is the background – something that’s easy to forget when you’re trying to get children out of the door.<\/p>\n
