These 4 have such an incredible bond that together they can take on the mad sun, wild turtles, and any other obstacle that gets in their way. But on Halloween they went up a level and braved the spooky world to collect candy instead of coins.

And oh boy! As they walked that spooky path they accumulated so much candy. But as it got darker and spookier they needed some extra help. Without Yoshi they were not confident they could get to the creepy castle at the end. Luckily they met up with some sort of wild rooster who joined forces with Mario, Luigi, Princess, and Toad. However, a few blocks before entering the creepy castle, Mario got a game over. Womp Womp! The others weren’t sure they would make it to the end without him. Especially when they lost the rooster at the entrance of the creepy castle. But they did it! So with bags full of candy, these cute gamers headed home to spend the next few days indulging in all the sugar!

Now that I have pretty much completed 12 years of documenting my children’s childhood trick or treating adventures, I think it’s time to offer this special holiday adventure to other families. So sign up to receive the quarterly newsletter if you want to participate in the halloween adventure draw next year! Who will be the lucky family who wins and gets their Halloween adventures documented?! It will include a fun halloween themed creative portrait too!

Some people ask, when is the best time to book a session? Well, to help you decide, I’ll first explain the differences. The main difference between a morning and late afternoon photo session lies in the quality and direction of the light.

In the morning, the light is soft, cool, and even, creating a fresh, peaceful atmosphere. The sun is lower in the sky, casting gentle shadows and a natural glow that’s perfect for bright, crisp images. The mornings have a lot less people around, and the kids are usually fully charged! It can be a bit chilly, so you may need some cozy sweaters or stylish jackets, which looks great for a fall session.

In the late afternoon, the light becomes warm and golden, adding a rich, glowing quality to photos. This lighting is more dramatic, creating stunning silhouettes and deep, vibrant colours, especially in autumn when the foliage is in full display. The late afternoon is usually a bit warmer in temperature too.

Regardless of when you book your session, each time of day offers a distinct mood, with morning being serene and refreshing, and late afternoon providing warmth and richness. Even on overcast or cloudy days the sun is still there creating a perfect environment for the classic autumn family portrait. And my goodness do I love an overcast day. Either way, no matter the time of day, we are going to create beautiful magical art pieces that will look stunning in a book, on your wall, or even framed on your desk!
