Photo FUN for Summer

Who wants to have ✨MORE FUN✨ with photos this summer? Awesome. This listen is for YOU! I have FIVE ideas to share. Let’s go!

Create a Re-Take

This is my number ONE idea because it is EASY and can be entirely hilarious. Your kids or friends and family members are almost always “game” because it feels like a game. Start by looking back through older summer photos—your favorites—and find one or two or ten that you could “re-take” this year. Then when the time or location presents itself see how close you can get to recreating what once was!The photo here is a 2016 re-take that celebrates a much earlier version taken in 1994. I’ll scan and add that original when I find it!

Dear Photograph

This idea is to return a photo to its original setting and take another photo. The original photo here was taken on the 4th of July in 2007 at my parent’s home and then just before they moved in 2016, I printed that photo, took it with us and on the 4th of July lifted it up in that original setting and took another picture—this concept, website and book are the brain child of Taylor Jones.

Make it Monochromatic

Here’s the gist: Let everyone know what COLOR you’ll be wearing and then add in props that match! We did this last summer in my FIVE happiest colors of Red, Turquoise, Yellow, Orange and Green and it was oh so silly and exactly what we needed.
