Some parents dread Halloween for the simple reason that it can lead to quite a mess; others revel in the holiday such as Gina Lee, who has created a slew of adorable girl costumes for her daughter, Willow. Leading up to the festivities, the photographer dressed Willow in a different costume each day in October. Adorable and playful, the girl costumes are a great source of inspiration for like-minded parents.
From artistic references such as Frida to more worldly tributes including a Kate Middleton wedding dress and even her very own Prince Charming, Willow is lucky enough to have channeled quite a few different personas through the month. The girl costumes even take on delicious hot dogs, Cabbage Patch Dolls and more.
