Summer Bucket List and Photo Challenge | Pittsburgh Family Photographer

Summer break lasts for less than 90 days in Mt. Lebanon. I want to make the most of every day that my children are home! Every summer we write down a summer bucket list, this list includes movies we want to see, vacation plans, birthday parties, summer camps, vbs, summer concerts and movies in the parks. Everyone choses their top five "must do" activities and we write them on our calendar. This has been our family tradition for years. This year I've decided to capture our summer with a photo project. I will take a photograph everyday and document it on Instagram, with #CapturingYourSummer hashtag. I plan on sharing our summer activities and would love to see yours!

What is a photo challenge? A photo challenge is when you try to take a photo everyday. And since everything is more fun when it's social, post your photos on Instagram using the hashtag #CapturingYourSummer. Favorites from the summer photo challenge will be featured here on the blog throughout the summer! Be creative! Get featured! Win print credit!

Lets document our family, our children and our summer. Once you have your photos you can create a family photo book, post a summer highlights slideshow to share on social media, fill a bulletin board in your family room or create an "old fashioned" scrapbook.
