This Girl is a Witch!


My photoshoot with Autumn is probably one of my all-time favorite shoots simply because we chose so many props to have fun with. Here are 5 awesome props to use for your next Halloween Photoshoot!

  1. A cauldron- You can fill this with dry ice (learn how to use dry ice 7 Tips for Using Dry Ice in Photos), or you can leave it empty and pretend to fill it with potions. I’d recommend using a larger cauldron because that will look more realistic. 
  2. A skull- it’s giving MacBeth
  3. A Spell Book- I’m sure there are plenty of old books at used bookstores, but we used a Grimm’s Brothers Collection of Alice in Wonderland as our spell book.
  4. Potions- You can find small vials at your local craft store as well as on Amazon for a few dollars. We filled these with water and different colored glitter eyeshadow- since we didn’t have regular glitter. You could also add food coloring to them to change up the pigment.
  5. Candles- There are many different varieties of candles that you can use for a Halloween or Witchy photoshoot. I prefer the long candle sticks over the smaller tea light candles. I would recommend that you let the wax melt a little before showing up to your session. That way it gives the candle a “used” look.
