Photo shoot ideas at a Pumpkin Patch

There's just one more weekend until Halloween passes us for some pumpkin carving time and before the farms close for the season! Pumpkin patches are one of my favorites to visit in the fall not only for all things pumpkin, but also for all the local produce, mini gourds to use for decor, fresh made kettle corn, and of course, photo shoot opportunities! I went to Mosby Farms in Auburn, WA the other week and have some ideas for you below!

Corn maze

Most pumpkin patches are right next to corn mazes which make for a fun and awesome photo opportunity, especially when you can get a section to yourself! Plus, with corn mazes around, there's bound to be plenty of corn to purchase to eat later on =)

Playing with the gourds

Pumpkin patches tied to farms also tend to have tons of local produce including a whole assortment of gourds you can buy for purchase to eat or for decoration. Check out those suuuper long gourds (Oppo squash maybe?)! Definitely an 'oh my GOURD' moment.

Signs and haystacks

Most pumpkin patches have signs of their location and fun little sets to take photos. Mosby Farms had this fun picture frame area for photos next to the haystacks by their signs. They also had one right by the entrance surrounded with different pumpkins and wheelbarrows. Definitely fun props for your fall photos!

Mini pumpkins & game sets

Mosby Farms had this really cute checker board set up so you could play a game of checkers using pumpkins as the playing pieces! Using what's available at your local pumpkin patch is a great way to get some fun, candid shots, especially if you're shooting fun kid shots.

Last but not least, when you one is at the pumpkin patch, you have GOT to take photos with all the pumpkins! Whether you're int he middle of the field with scarecrows lurking, or using the corn maze as a backdrop, the possibilities are endless. Another fun prop that I missed out on was using the wheelbarrow as a prop (next time!).
