Spooky season is in full swing and with it this year came all sorts of smoke bomb fun. It’s a thrill to depart from my normal colorful and vibrant images for the darker, desaturated tones that befit the holiday season.

After a couple of years of fun with fog and special effects doing spooky and light hearted witchy sessions like Hocus Pocus I wanted to create a more evil scene. I reached out to Spokesmodel Jayde who is always up for something unique and we pieced together a maleficent inspired costume with a few simple things we found on amazon. Add in the perfect witches staff from the spirit store and these incredible smoke bombs from Shutter bombs and this session as easy as casting a spell.

After the success of the Avengers session in July, I immediately saw this Hocus Pocus inspired session coming together in my mind’s eye and I knew that this would be the first creative session I would put together with my dance squad. Dancers are incredible athletes and performers and seeing the girls bring to life their characters in their own unique ways was incredible.

I was lucky to have the perfect amount of girls on the squad for the characters I wanted to capture. As an added bonus all of the dancers are from the same studio, know each other, and work together often. As we started into the planning phase, sending outfits back and forth and I watched the families helping piece together the outfits, I knew this was coming to be a really special session.

The setting of my Spooky Halloween sessions was the perfect backdrop for this session. We scheduled for sunset to create the dim light that befit the story. With everything in place and perfectly planned, it was up to the girls to put the finishing touches on their characters through their expressions and movement.

I hope you will enjoy our rendition of the Sanderson sisters and Thackery Binx.
