A Photo a Day - CAPTURiNg memories Of YOUR CHILD This SUMMER
Summer is special, it's a time when core childhood memories are made. The days are a little slower, there's less routine and although it can be messy and chaotic, there's something really quite beautiful and magical about these weeks. They say we have 18 summers with our children which sure tugs on the heart strings, each year I find it goes that bit faster and I'm desperate to document as many moments as possible.
This year I've decided to do a personal project, capturing a photo a day of them and I thought I'd share some ideas for anyone who would like to join me. By the end of the month you'll have a bunch of memories of your child(ren) from this summer and chapter of their lives.
