I am so excited to share this Halloween shoot we did a couple weeks ago! Growing up, Halloween wasn’t a big deal at our house but since I’ve moved to Utah it’s an all out event. Cody’s family is really into Halloween. His sister is super crafty and goes all out with amazing decor! Cody and I wanted to do something more dramatic this year so we got together with one of my photographers and came up with this skeleton concept.

The hair and makeup took about 4 hours. Jill hand painted the lace on my neck which was the most time consuming but I love all the detail! It has always been my dream to wear an Oscar de La Renta dress and this one literally took my breath away when I opened the box. It’s so beautiful! I love getting dressed up but rarely have an occasion to wear full ball gowns. That’s one thing I love about Halloween – you get to pretend to be anything you want and wear those special pieces you may not have the chance to wear on a typical day, whether it’s a gown or that dress you’ve been eyeing in the back of your closet. Plus with so many parties leading up to Halloween, you don’t have to choose just one costume! I have a few more ideas for our family Halloween party so stay tuned next week 🙂

  3. I say just only one word that describes it all: AMAZING!!
    You look absolutely gorgeous and scary all in one moment, love all these pictures.

  4. I hardly comment on your blog, but I am blown away, Christine!!! I’m not a fan of Halloween at all, but you totally made me glamorous! Wow! Cody looks great too! I can tell you put a lot of planning and thought into this and you’re right! You got creative with what you had in your closet and live up to the Neiman Marcus name. GORGEOUS!

  5. You both look absolutely amazing The dress the shoes the makeup. We also love Halloween we’re dressing up the skeletons this year too. enjoy

  6. I love your website, but it made me sad to see this post. Do you know the significance of Dia de Los Muertos? I wish you had included something about that since it’s not a topic to be taken lightly.
