It's finally pumpkin patch season, and I've been wanting to get photos of my Siberian, Newt, at a pumpkin patch since we didn't get to hit up one last year.
While doing research, Cool Patch Pumpkins caught my eye, and it was a huge plus that parking and entry were free. Only the corn maze and various other activities required payment. I also noticed, while looking through their social media and Yelp reviews, that there were plenty of places for photo ops and lots of open space. I do not enjoy or generally allow strangers or their dogs coming up to me and Newt, so this was perfect.
We went on a stormy evening around 5:30 pm, and it was perfect since there were hardly any people. It was sprinkling, which made the vibes even better for my photoshoot with Newt. Everyone kept their distance and it didn't feel crowded to me. However, it was also a Tuesday when we went, so keep that in mind. I am sure that the pumpkin patch will get busier as it gets closer to Halloween.
My husband is my assistant and captured our classic piggyback pose by the dinosaur statues. By far those were my favorite props of the pumpkin patch!
We spent about an hour enjoying the pumpkin patch and taking photos, and at the end of our time there, we chose a pumpkin to take home with us as well. Their pumpkins are very reasonably priced and ours only cost $4!
I loved how many photo ops there were, which was great for families with children. There also seemed to be several school groups arriving while we were heading out, so I'm glad we went when we did.
It was awesome to get our pumpkin patch fix and capture some cool photos with the stormy sky!
I would definitely return next year, and perhaps tackle the corn maze some other time.
