Halloween has always held a special place in my heart. Even though it isn’t celebrated as widely here in the Netherlands, I’ve always been drawn to costumes, dressing up, and the darker aesthetics of the season (I used to be full-on goth for years!).
And I know many of you – my lovely clients- share that same love for Halloween. So why not combine spooky with sensual, and empower yourself this magical time of year with a playful, sexy photoshoot experience?
Why Halloween is the moment for a Swan’s Seduction shoot:
- The perfect excuse to dress up
Costumes let you try on another side of yourself, whether that’s sultry, powerful, cheeky, or forbidden. Halloween gives you permission to go bold, and a photoshoot makes those moments unforgettable. - Dark aesthetics make stunning photos
Think lace, candles, dramatic shadows, gothic props, and moody colors. Halloween vibes translate beautifully into sensual, atmospheric photography that feels one-of-a-kind.



Halloween costume ideas for a sexy photoshoot
The classic witch
Nothing says Halloween like a witch. Think black lingerie, a lace cape, and a pointy hat. Add candles, tarot cards, or even a broomstick as props to give your shoot a mystical, witchy vibe. This look is all about channeling your inner goddess.
The vamp
A corset, stockings, and a touch of dark lipstick instantly create a vampy aesthetic. Accessorize with gothic jewelry, a chalice, or even fangs for extra drama. Red and black lighting can add that moody, seductive atmosphere.
The bunny or kitty
If you want something flirty and cheeky, go for a bunny or kitty look. A bodysuit paired with ears and cuffs keeps things fun and lighthearted while still kinky. Perfect for a more playful Halloween shoot.
The (dark) angel
Black wings combined with sheer lingerie create a stunning contrast between innocence and temptation. This look works beautifully for photos that balance softness with edge.
The gothic bride
A black or lace veil with lingerie underneath is a gorgeous twist on bridal aesthetics. Pair with wilted roses or candlelight to lean into the moody, gothic romance of Halloween.
The fairy or nymph
Not every Halloween shoot has to be dark. A pastel or glittery lingerie set with fairy wings brings a dreamy, ethereal energy. Add soft glowy lighting to complete the fantasy.
The kinky nurse
This costume is a Halloween classic with a sensual twist. A short white dress or lingerie set with red accents, paired with stockings and maybe even latex gloves, makes for a cheeky but powerful look.
The sinful nun
The contrast between sacred and sensual makes this one a real showstopper. Pair black lingerie with a veil and a crucifix necklace for a bold and provocative Halloween vibe.
The pumpkin queen
Go all in on the Halloween theme with an orange corset or bodysuit, paired with black stockings. Add jack-o’-lanterns as props for a playful seasonal twist. This one is especially fun if you want your photos to scream “spooky season.”
The spider
Think black lace, spiderweb accessories, and dramatic makeup. Fake cobwebs and long dark nails take this look to the next level. It’s mysterious, powerful, and perfect for Halloween.
