{Summer-time Photo Checklist // 50 photos to take this summer}

Several of my friends are participating in a summer photo challenge on Instagram and it got my wheels turning. I want to challenge myself to take some photos that capture the true essence of summer. I am not giving myself a theme for each day, but rather a list of things I want to photograph throughout the whole summer. So, I made myself a list of 50 photos to take this summer. This is everything I can think of that screams summer to me. And I am not putting the pressure on myself to capture them all. I can't wait to snap my way through summer.
