With that first twinge of crisp fall air, jackets are pulled out and pumpkin spice lattes are in hand! Fall sessions are some of our favorite to shoot and we are excited to spend this season with you! Another favorite during this time of year is the annual trip to the pumpkin patch. Only there does the idea of riding in hay and carrying a 20 lb. pumpkin sound enjoyable! 😉 We’ve gathered a list of some of our favorite area patches for your convenience! Whether it is the hayride, the pumpkin selecting, or the cotton jump that is your favorite, there is something for everyone here! Enjoy!
