10 Halloween Photoshoot Ideas You Just Have to Try
Creep it real with some of these wickedly awesome photoshoot ideas!
Whether your family loves snagging deals, hunting for thrifted treasures, DIY-ing costumes, or doing a last-minute store run before Halloween—it’s all good! October 31st is all about knocking on doors for candy and spending time together. One of the best things about the holiday is dressing up in a costume or mask that lets you become someone else—and extra points if you all coordinate! That’s why no Halloween is complete without capturing the magic in photos. If you're unsure where to begin, we’ve got plenty of creative Halloween photoshoot ideas to help make sure your boo-tiful pics are a hit.
Nothing is more fun than a full family costume. From the Brady Bunch to the Addams Family, find the best group costume for your squad and set up a spooky Halloween photoshoot with props galore. Ask everyone to get into character for hilarious pics you’ll definitely want to print.
If you love to decorate your front yard with ALL the seasonal props, take some photos out there to commemorate all your hard work. Dress the little ones in their costumes and pose them in front of your pumpkins and ghouls for a truly festive photo.
Make a super simple photoshoot backdrop like one of these, find all your little witches and ghosts, and get them in front of the camera for some adorable photos.
If you’re a scary movie lover, odds are you might want your photos to err on the side of creepy rather than sweet. Find some dead tree branches to cover in cobwebs, opt for a night shoot or put some of your makeup skills to the test with an eerie costume.
In autumn, most communities are bustling with exciting activities for the whole family. Local pumpkin patches, haunted houses and hayrides will make for some spooky photos.
For those with a big group of friends, make sure to take some fun and hilarious photos with your costumes. Sometimes the sillier and more mismatched the costumes, the better! Rather than opting for a group costume, tell your squad to dress up as the weirdest collection of cartoons and celebrities who might sit around a fictional dinner table. This weird costume collective is bound to make you smile.
Make festive garlands like these for a cute prop to use in your Halloween photoshoot. Grab some old craft paper to make a garland to go on your wall as a backdrop. Find some old ribbon to make some spooky tattered curtains.
Go candid and score snaps of the kids carving pumpkins, eating their Halloween candies or getting into their costumes.
If you live in a neighborhood with some great homes and props, ask your neighbors if you could take a photo in front of their decor with your family.
This year, opt for a trick by learning a few editing skills to really amp up your Halloween photos. Create some spooky filters, incorporate some dark lighting and play with saturation on your blood-spattered props to make your photos really pop.
