Capture the Big, Bright, Loud Parts of Summer

You know that feeling when the sun hits your face, your playlist is on point, and there’s nowhere you have to be? That’s the vibe of Sunny Days.

This kit was made to push pause on those bright, carefree moments — when the days are long, the sun is bright and your biggest decision is cannonball or popsicle. Think lawn games, retro roller skates, seaside strolls, poolside grins, and all the good stuff that makes summer feel like forever.

Sure, relaxing days on the beach are awesome, but some of the best summer days are wildly bright and packed with an out loud sunny vibe!

If your camera roll is full of sunscreen-streaked cheeks, popsicles melting faster than you can say “smile,” and kids who refuse to sit still for a photo — good. You’re doing summer right. Here’s how to scrap it without dumbing it down or dressing it up.

Because here’s the truth: the days might be flying by — but the sunshine is yours to keep.

You don’t need plane tickets or bucket list moments to make summer unforgettable. Some of the best stories live in lawn chairs, late sunsets, and laughter you didn’t plan for. Sunny Days helps you pause, savor, and scrap the joy of right now.

Photo Prompts:
Start by pointing your camera at the real stuff — the messy, gorgeous proof that summer’s in full swing. Snap the grass-stained knees, and the pile of flip-flops abandoned at the door. Capture the lazy afternoons where no one knows what time it is — kids sprawled across a blanket with books and snacks, or you, cold drink in hand, soaking in the silence between waves of chaos. Don’t forget the backyard basics: a close-up of the watermelon slices, towels hanging on the line, sunglasses tossed on the dashboard.

Story Sparks:

Start with this: What does summer feel like right now? Not the Pinterest version — your real, lived-in version. Is it slow and sweet? Loud and chaotic? Bittersweet because everything is changing a little too fast? Write about that.

The “Too Much, Too Fast” Day
Tell the story of a summer day that started strong… and spiraled. Too much sun, too many snacks, too many people in one inflatable pool. Use layered photos, overlapping embellishments, and handwritten journaling to mirror the sensory overload.

The Middle-of-the-Day Moment
Capture that 2PM “now what?” energy — the scooter ride to nowhere, the snack that turned into a picnic, or the sprinkler that saved your sanity. These aren’t planned events — they’re spontaneous memories.

The Summer Uniform
Scrap the go-to outfit: the swimsuit always drying on the porch, the flip flops worn flat, the towel that doubles as a superhero cape. Take a flat-lay photo or pull together snapshots of those familiar items.

The ‘Camp Mom’ Chronicles
If you’re managing summer break from your kitchen table, document your best “DIY camp” efforts: tennis in the driveway, ice cream runs as bribes, and screen time bargains. Own it. It’s the stuff they’ll actually remember.

The Bright-Side Beatdown
Even the sunniest days have meltdowns. Document the sunburns, the spilled slushies, and the moment your beach umbrella actually took flight. Use bright elements and contrast-heavy photos — this kit was made for that kind of drama.
