Terrific and Terrifying Halloween Photo Tips


Here at YesVideo, we love Halloween. What’s better than getting to dress up in a fun costume? Dressing up in a fun costume and eating candy! Halloween is hands-down one of the most popular photo-taking holidays we want to see yours. Head to our Facebook page (if you are not already a fan, join us!) and share your favorite photos or videos from Halloween 2009 and years past!


Here are some tips for taking terrific and terrifying photos this Halloween.


Terrific:

  • Take notes on who is under what mask…five and ten years down the road you’ll want to remember who was under the Scooby Doo mask and who was Batman. Transfer those notes to the print, photo book or Smileshow – whatever you choose to share and display.
  • Try and snap photos right at dusk – this is some of the best light for snapshots and you can skip the flash.
  • Have fun! Encourage the kids to act out their costumes and take photos with their friends. Halloween is all about having fun and posing can be a buzz kill. Keep up the energy and the result will be some great photos to cherish.


Terrifying:

  • Don’t forget to stock up on extra batteries or make sure to charge in advance. You don’t want to run out of juice before trick-or-treat bags are halfway filled.
  • With all the time and energy put into the decorations, don’t miss out on photos of the house, foliage, jack-o-lanterns and of course, the family pet.
  • Don’t forget to jump in a few of the photos yourself. Ask your neighbors to take a moment to snap a shot of you and your little ones. You’ll love looking back on all the wonderful Halloween memories.


We love comments - tell us what you, your kids or grandkids are dressing up as for Halloween and how you plan to save and share so those special memories! Post on our Facebook wall or in the comments section here. If you have some tips to share we want to hear those, too.


Have a safe and spooktacular Halloween weekend!
