Hermione Granger & Ginny Weasley

This year I was so pumped that my kids wanted to go as Hogwarts students!! (We are about to start book 3 and they are obsessed.) It made me unbelievably excited for Halloween night! This was my 6th year documenting their Halloween adventure. It's my favourite day of the year to photograph. It's really magical! There's so much life and energy! Especially in my neighbourhood! It's so festive!! Mostly everyone gets involved and creates the most epic trick or treating adventure! The kids love it so much. And I really love playing with all the night light!! I love that I have to shoot on manual focus and I really love how unpredictable it all is. There's motion in the images and so many vibrant colours. The contrast is so extreme too making the images so dramatic!

Previous Halloween adventures can be seen HERE!

Adventures of Pegasus and Cat

Happy Halloween everyone!! What a night!! So many children in the streets! It was just so lovely! I love my community so much. Younger kids, older kids, adults!! Everyone was dressed up and there were some real spooky houses out there. Audrey was a little shaken after the first haunted house even though she would insist she was a brave cat, she walked cautiously from that moment on. But Adelaide, she went for it! The first haunted house she was a little freaked and hesitated but when we got to the scariest house she even stood and let me take a picture in front of the clown house.
At every house that called Adelaide a unicorn, she kindly corrected them with "actually I'm a pegasus." But when they got it right, she was so proud of them, ha! And Audrey was extremely thankful for every single treat she got. "LOOK! LOOK what she gave me! Oh thank you thank you!!" she would squeal with delight. She stole a lot of hearts tonight. Here, I'll let the pictures tell the stories...

AAAAAND....

WE'RE OFF!!

Meow!

Neigh!

They panicked that the door would close. Don't worry, Julian was holding it open. Clearly this is a fear of theirs. Audrey's face! LOL.

"HALLOWEEN APPLES!!"

Jack-o-lantern 

"Tick or treat!"

The entrance to the first haunted house. 

We stopped by Adelaide's besties home where Cinderella was handing out candy!

Just the sweetest! 

So we stayed for a moment so Adelaide could watch her in action!

When we continued on, we ran in to more friends! Group shot!

The scariest house. Be she's "not scared of anything!"

Except maybe that giant ghost. 

Strike a pose!

Last few houses before heading home. 

Completely knackered. 

Trading treats. 

HOME!

I document this holiday every single year. It's my favourite. Please take a look at the previous years that I've shared here on this blog!
Trick or Treat (2014), The adventures of The Crocodile Who Didn't Like Water, and Red Parrot.
Happy Halloween (2013), The adventures of Ming Ming Duck and T-rex. 
It makes my heart hurt a little to see how much my children have grown. They really aren't little long enough. 

Trick or Treat!

Oh my gooooodness I love Halloween!! I love photographing my girls on their adventure! I do it every single year! And this year was so cute since they were both old enough to understand. Adelaide was a pro actually. Watch the adventure of Red Parrot and The Crocodile Who Didn't Like Water as they run around the neighbourhood screaming "trick or treat" followed by a polite "thank you"!

Adorbs!    

I really appreciate all the houses and neighbours who get involved and decorate and dress up! It makes the kids so happy!! And sometimes hilariously terrified. Little kids wearing layers of clothes waddling around collecting candy and having so much fun is probably one of the cutest things I have ever seen and it's my favourite night to photograph my girls!! I also love that they aren't old enough yet to count the candy, ha! 

It's incredible how much they grow in a year!!
