Spooky Halloween Portraits | Amanda Howse Photography 

Spooky Halloween Portraits

We just had to end this year’s spooky season in style with these spooky Halloween portraits! Mallory brought all her fun flare and creative fashion to this themed shoot, and it was a treat to be a part of! Shooting themed sessions, especially with one of my AH-mazing model team girls, is always so much fun for me! Between the skeletons, the smoke machine, and all the haunting details, Mallory had endless props to play with. And WOW did she kill it! Figuratively of course…

Creative PNW Holiday Venue 

Miss Mallory never fails to have the most fun hair and makeup for our AHP Model Team shoots. So when she said she wanted to do a Halloween-themed shoot, I knew we had to go big!! We rented this awesome studio space in Tacoma (check out their Instagram here!), which offers a variety of photography studios and creative spaces for their clients to choose from. We rented one of their holiday studios; it was the perfect place for this spooky shoot!! Mallory and I had a blast! P.S. If you are loving the creativity this space offers, you can book a slot here too for your holiday portraits! 

Haunted Mansion Horrors

For our eerie portraits, Mallory stepped into the world of haunted mansions and uncovered all of its horrors. We began in the cobweb-coated living room full of candles and creepy crawlies before working our way to the dimly lit bathroom. I had so much fun with the editing and lighting in this section! How creepy cool is that blood?? Mallory danced with the skeletons and then headed outside to the foggy mansion grounds to get our last pictures. Each section of this shoot was so fun, but what made the shoot was Mallory’s perfect all-black outfits and spooky makeup. Every element, even down to her nails had the best Halloween feel!

Model Team 2024!

My model team girls are so creative, and I love when I get to do fun shoots like these! Mallory is a member of the class of 2023 and I cannot imagine the group without her! Each year it is a treat seeing which girls will join us, and I am already SO excited to pick the ones for next year. The team applications will be going live for the class of 2024 on 11/11!  But in the meantime, make sure to share with anyone you know (class of 2024 and below) who you think would be a great addition! Not only do you get first dibs on your senior portrait dates and locations, but you also get fun bonus shots when you come and help out on shoots. TBH, the Model Team perks are endless! So mark your calendars, and tell your friends to get ready for 11/11!
