This year, I had the joy of kicking off my first Halloween mini session of the season, and it was an absolute treat! The studio was transformed into a spooky wonderland, complete with cobblestone streets, eerie lanterns, pumpkins, skeletons, and the star of the show — a vintage red car. One of the special touches this year was the custom-made number plates on the car, personalized for each client. Whether it was "Bat Fink" or "Beagle Feast," the customized plates added a personal flair that made each session unique and memorable.
The energy was electric as families arrived, eager to jump into the Halloween fun. Kids in costumes, along with their pets, posed for playful photos that captured the spirit of the season. One of the most memorable moments was watching Batfink, the little pup, take the driver’s seat in the red car, proudly showing off his custom plate. The joy on everyone’s faces when they saw their personalized number plate was priceless!
One highlight from the day was working with two incredibly photogenic beagles, Scooter and Harley. They hopped into the red car, each with their own charm, posing with their own custom plate, "Beagle Feast." The session was filled with laughter, and the pets seemed to enjoy the experience as much as their humans did!
One particularly striking shot involved a trio of pets posing in a gothic-themed setup, featuring a red leather chair, candlelit candelabra, and plenty of spooky props. Harley and Scooter were naturals, and Batfink stole the show with his adorable presence. The custom plates tied it all together, making the photos not just special, but truly personal.
The Halloween mini sessions are always a highlight of my year because it’s more than just taking photos — it’s about creating lasting memories. The personalized license plates, the spooky backdrops, and the fun-filled atmosphere all come together to make the experience unforgettable for families. It’s about capturing the joy, laughter, and sometimes a little bit of Halloween mischief.
Thank you to everyone who made the first session of the year such a success, especially my furry stars: Scooter, Harley, and, of course, Batfink! I’m excited for the rest of the Halloween season and can’t wait to see what other spooky fun is in store.- Ian
