Halloween Portraits: Done in costume or in Halloween clothes?

[veronica]

I am hoping to get pics done of the kids soon, since they are finally posing together for pics and not busy hitting eachother!

I can do them in costume but their costumes don't match (DD is cupcake and DS is a monster)

Or, I can do them in Halloween clothes. DD has last years Hanna playdress in organge/black dots and tights and DS has the Hanna black ghost T shirt so they would match eachother. I think , if I do this, I can snap cute pictures of them in costume at the various events we have during the month , that require a costume.

What do you think? Thank you!

Do both! Both sound adorable. For a together pic, I guess their Halloween outfits. For individual portraits, the costumes would be cute.

I hear ya....but changing DC's at the portrait place could be a nightmare! I'll let you know what we do!

Oh, I'd put them together in their Halloween costumes! It'll mean so much more to them when they're older. Who cares if they don't "match?" I love the Halloween pictures of my cousin and I and my brother and I and they weren't even professionally done. They're just so much fun to look at later. And I don't think I'd like them nearly as much if it was just me alone.
You can always have fall pictures of them taken later.

Sounds cute! I'd do their costumes together too. BTW- how did you do DD's cupcake costume or did you buy it? Thinking about this one for my DD.

I bought the PotteryBarn Kids one. I cashed some credit card points to get a $50 gift card to take away the sting of the price a bit!
