A Week of Photo Prompts | Maggie Massey

We all make sure to get photos of our favorite people, right? But how often do we take photos of the things we love? Or the things that are most important in our lives at this moment? Or the things around the house we just can't seem to get rid of? That stuff is all part of our story, right? With these prompts I challenge you to intentionally document some things that are not always on our radar...

Who says a selfie has to be of just your face? Snap a shot of your favorite shoes, crossed legs or lovely hands...just make sure YOU are in the photo.

I change up the main wall in our family room really often...and each piece I put up means something to me or someone in my family...there's no rhyme or reason to it...and I love it. Take some photos of your favorite artwork...or maybe your favorite room!

There is a table in our family room that is NEVER clean. NEVER. I can clear everything off and leave the room for 3 seconds only to find that, when I return, it's all messed up again. I'm not kidding. It's weird. And it kinda freaks me out. Do you have anything similar in your home? The chair by your bed? Your entryway table? Snap a pic!

We use our calendars and planners for everything, right? Take a photo and document just what your planner means to you...

You may love it, or you may hate it, but your handwriting (and the handwriting of those you love) is part of your story. Grab some examples and snap away!

My whole life is in my bag (well, and in my phone...but that's usually in my bag...soooo...). Take a photo of what's in your bag right now...

It's Back-To-School time! Even if you don't have school-aged children, you can still see signs of the season everywhere...buses on your street, packed aisles in Target or sales ads in the newspapers. Grab a photo of what this time of year means to you.

We'd love to see your take on these prompts! Post them to the gallery or to instagram using the tag #SCphotoprompts. And if you're looking for even more photo inspiration, be sure to check out our newest class - Snapshot with April Foster!
