Come play in the dark.
Halloween portraits for kids, grown-ups, couples, families, and anyone who needs another excuse to wear the costume they love.
Bring the costume. Bring the weird. Bring the dramatic makeup, the creepy props, the ridiculous accessories — or come with an idea and let's make something completely your own.
We'll add some smoke, a little drama, and see what happens.
BRING THE COSTUME. BRING THE WEIRD.
Let's make something you can't get anywhere else.
Halloween is the excuse. The costume is the starting point.
Maybe it’s spooky. Maybe it’s ridiculous. Maybe it’s glamorous, creepy, dramatic, or completely unexpected. We can play with smoke, light, movement, props, and whatever strange little idea you’ve been waiting for an excuse to try.
A LITTLE WEIRD. A LITTLE DRAMATIC. A LOT OF FUN.
Some things are better when you don't take them too seriously.
Halloween is a pretty great excuse to do something you wouldn’t normally do.
Dress up. Get dramatic. Be ridiculous. Try the idea that might be a little too much for an ordinary Tuesday.
THERE’S ROOM FOR A LITTLE UNHINGED AROUND HERE.
The photo doesn't have to be perfect. It just has to make you grin when you see it later.
BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO WANT THIS ONE LATER.

WHAT EXPECT
to
1 - We Dream It Up
Come with your costume, your idea, and anything you want to bring into the photographs. I’ll make sure we have what we need and get you comfortable in front of the camera.
2 - We Set the Scene
These sessions happen in my home studio, either indoors or outside. We’ll choose the setup that works best for your costume, whether that means smoke, a dark backdrop, dramatic light, or something a little stranger.
3 - We Play
This is where the fun happens. I’ll give you direction when you need it and leave room for personality, ridiculousness, and the occasional happy accident.
4 - You Keep the Good Stuff
Your gallery arrives before Halloween, so you can actually enjoy the photos while the costumes are still relevant. Choose your favorites, download your photographs, and order prints whenever you’d like.

YOU BRING THE COSTUME.
WE’LL BRING THE SMOKE.
A little less "say cheese."
A lot more being yourself.
Hi, I’m Christine.
You don’t need to know how to pose, what to do with your hands, or exactly how you want every photo to look.
You just need to show up as yourself.
I’ll give you direction when you need it, make space for the ideas and details that matter to you, and leave plenty of room for the personality, movement, laughter, and in-between moments that make the photos feel like you.
Because the best senior photos shouldn’t look like somebody else’s idea of who you are.
They should look like you, right here, right now.
