Leon the LionHeart - Halloween 2019

I debated about posting my son’s composite photos here but since sometimes social media can go offline at any minute, as we’ve seen before, I thought perhaps it’d be nice to share with others who follow the blog.

We got my son a knight costume on a whim a couple of weeks back when we were browsing through a store and it seemed like a good and easy costume for him for Halloween. Since he isn’t really too particular on costumes, he liked the idea too.

I explained to him what a knight was and what they did - which he understood as fighters of ghosts who are very strong! Ha! To be three again!!

I was driving and began to think about what he’d wear underneath to complete the look and as I was daydreaming about his costume, I started to picture portraits with a castle in the background and then started dreaming a whole story in my head.

And so, these photos were born, along with the story that unfolded that morning. These are composite photos and I gave credit to the original background creators on Instagram, so you can follow and check them out there!

I also go into a little detail about how I made the composites in my stories, which I’ll put in the Leon Highlights.

Happy Halloween friends! Stay safe out there!
