Every year our little family waits for Halloween to step out of the ordinary into a little something extraordinary; because life is just that; extraordinary; until we forget. I find so much joy in planning events since my daughter was born 9 years ago and together we plot and plan and create. Last year we had the idea to create Halloween characters with her and her friends making studio portraits with them in costume and this year we will do that again. Here are a few of our favorite portraits from last year.

Acostúmbrate a pensar que la muerte para nosotros no es nada, porque todo el bien y todo el mal residen en las sensaciones, y precisamente la muerte consiste en estar privado de sensación.

These are terrific Mimo! OI love the effect you get with this combination of effects Geoff
Thanks Geoff! Very sweet of you and thanks for your constant support. It is much appreciated
These are great. Can you explain how you got an “HDR”-like look to them? Especially the look of Jora’s portrait. Is this possible in Lightroom?
Thanks Rebecca! I used Nik’s color efex pro filters for these, which I use in combination with Lightroom. I created a recipe using a variety of filters, several of which I apply only to specific parts of the image. Hope this helps 🙂
thanks I’ll check it out!
These are absolutely brilliant images!!
Thank you Bob!
