Your 36th weekly challenge is a seasonal photo assignment. You can’t take a bad picture in a pumpkin patch. Good assignment, right? Find a pumpkin patch. Go. Take pictures. Where we live, you can get a good old fashioned farm for a half-day outing, a street corner covered over in hay, or a mound taller than a man at the neighborhood grocery store (this is true, we made a whole guide to East Bay pumpkin patches). Your future self won’t be able to tell the difference.
Use hay as a background, too.

If you do this, we would LOVE to see your photos on our rookiemoms facebook page or tagging us on instagram (@rookiemoms). Is your baby too little or is it the wrong season where you live? Choose another challenge.
It is so true, I love going to the pumpkin patch, I guess it is the hue of orange, it is the best lighting. This year I put my youngest in this adorable fall outfit that my oldest daughter wore in her pumpkin patch pictures when she was a toddler, and made a trip to the mountains to find a pumpkin patch. It is my favorite pictures! Even I look good in a pumpkin patch 🙂

I think you’re right! No bad pictures!
Great suggestion! We went to the pumpkin patch last week and got some of my favorite pictures of the Wee One.
I love that cute blue hat! Can you tell me where you found it? She looks adorable. 🙂
on the list! head to the half moon bay pumpkin patch and prop my kids up on stacks of hay or pumpkins bigger than their head.
Pumpkin patches are the best! I am too cheap to go to any of the real ones that cost money to get into because they have the llamas and hayrides and whatnot, so I just went to the farmers’ market! We brought the Bumbo. Check out our pictures. Feel free to steal the idea.

What a great site. I love the photography tips and assignments, several of which I’ve already employed with my new daughter. I recently posted about 8 photo ideas for new parents and thought your readers would also enjoy. I’m currently working on a follow-up article that includes our pumpkin picture, so be sure to check it out. Keep up the great work! http://www.ordinaryparent.com/2011/11/08/8-photo-ideas-for-new-parents/
