Just a bunch of Hocus Pocus | Phoenix, Arizona Halloween Styled Session

Oh what a glorious time of year it is. I have a love for Halloween & all things spooky that I can never quite express into words properly. I have an appreciation for all holidays, but Halloween time just holds a special place in my heart. Since moving out to Phoenix, Arizona last year, this was my first time spending the whole month of October out in the desert. I have filled my Autumn days with decorating my apartment, listening to my favorite spooky tunes, & loads & loads of Halloween movie watching (both scary & not so scary). I thought being in the southwest might take away from the usual feeling that October brings, but really it just helped inspire me to find more fun things to do & get outside.

For the past 4 years I have planned a styled Halloween photoshoot, each year becoming my new favorite. At the end of August I started getting my ideas together for what I wanted to create this year. After having a session with my friend, Josie, she mentioned something featuring the Sanderson Sisters would be amazing - & that’s how this idea came to life.

After weeks of planning & figuring out details - we created the Hocus Pocus shoot of my DREAMS. This day was so much fun. Scroll down for all of my favorite photos!
