Happy Halloween - Marin County Photographer

Halloween is always a fun time of year for me when I get the opportunity to dress up.  One of my favorite things on Halloween is when I'm driving to work, to peek into people's cars while they are on the way to work and check out how funny they look (I can only image what they thought of me yesterday!!).

My costume was great and everyone loved it even though it was a last minute throw together because Plan A fell apart the night before. Hubby and I had ordered costumes online (which I've never had an issue with before) and we were set to be a 20's gangster and a ritzy flapper.  I was sooooooo looking forward to my costume.  The box arrived Thursday and when opened it that evening I was disappointed to find out they had not sent the most important part of my costume; the dress!!!!! In its place was a Viking Vixen.......how they thought that went well with a flapper wig and boa is beyond me.  Of course, it wasn't suitable for work so I was so bummed and was worried I had no costume to wear.

I was determined to find something to wear to work after how much I had making sure others at work were dressing up. I couldn't show up in regular work attire.  It was then I remembered I own a long black wig with blue highlights;  GOTH it was going to be!!  I had so much fun putting this together. Who can go wrong with all black?? Just need to do some heavy, dark make-up and some goth-like jewelry and I was set!  Here's a pic of me at work.

Couldn't smile...it didn't go with the get up. I had some fun snapping some shots of my co-workers to add to the company photos.  Being a photographer they naturally just expected me to.  How could I say no...doing loan banking work or play with my camera...DUH!! Obvious. ;)  FYI, for any co-workers that ready this. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job.  Heehee.   Take a look at my co-workers that also got into the Halloween spirit this year!
