Need Halloween ideas? Check out this toddler's impressive array of costumes


Halloween is on Friday, which means lots of kids (and their parents, when applicable) are scrambling to put together costumes to wear trick-or-treating and maybe to school or parades. Gina Lee, a professional photographer based in Redlands, California, has almost certainly done you one better. Last year, when daughter Willow was 1, Lee dedicated October to Dress Up Willow Month. This year, the tradition continues, with similarly elaborate costumes and poses. Here's a sampling from Lee's Instagram account, if you're still looking for costume ideas:

You can look at more photos (and outtakes) of Willow's costumes on Lee's website. If your costume doesn't turn out as well, that's on you — but if your Halloween photos aren't quite as nice, remember, Gina Lee photographs kids for a living.
