We're coming up on that most magical time of year, when the colors blaze, the air gets that crispy little edge, and pumpkin spice takes over the world. It's the perfect time to try something a little different, and a lot of fun! Rather than doing a session with only the posed shots, why not get a little festive & themed for spooky season with some humor, and a touch of creepy cuteness?
Enter: Pumpkin Head Portraits

Pumpkins Don't Have Bad Angles
Acne? Double chin? Accidentally tattooed your face last weekend? Whatever it is that you worry about in your photos, a pumpkin head is always ready to go! Always smiling, always photogenic; you can make any face you want under there and nobody will be any wiser.
Minimum Pressure, Maximum Creativity
These sessions are so laid-back because, trust me, nothing loosens you up like balancing a giant plastic pumpkin on your shoulders. Like wearing a mask, it lets you be playful and get into some really dynamic, fun poses!
Unique & Share-Worthy
We'll mix in some photos of your regular old people face as well, so you'll stand out this year from the deluge of photos of cozy sweaters & fall foliage with your mix of traditional and non-traditional photos. This isn't just a portrait session, this is seasonal performance art.
Doing this session might be one of the most ridiculous decisions you make this fall, but I promise it's one of the most fun ways to turn yourself into a seasonal icon. While taking these photos, I made so many adults and kids do a double-take and laugh, and one kid brave enough to try to steal my head! Life is too short to only take normal photos all the time.
