Confession: my favorite part of Halloween isn’t the candy—it’s how families come alive when they dress up together. 🎃
Since 2017, I’ve photographed one family’s annual theme day—from Mary Poppins to X‑Men to this year’s Addams Family with smoky forest vibes—and it gets better every time. Hand‑made costumes, autumn light, grass‑stained knees, and a little girl who knows her parents show up for her.
If you’ve been waiting for a sign to start a tradition, this is it:
• Pick a theme
• Pick a day
• Bring the dog
• Say yes to imagination
Show up imperfect and all‑in. Wear the cape. Take the picture. Make the memory on purpose.
