It is officially summer! I am so excited for my favorite season to be here for several reasons. Besides the warm weather, travel opportunities and the sun constantly shining, there are so many opportunities for getting some cool photos.

As a photographer, I always have my eye open for any opportunity for taking photos, but today, I will share with you five simple, everyday themes and how to incorporate them into your summer feed. These are some different ways to showcase what you are wearing, the summer activities you are doing, or even just wanting some aesthetic photos to change up your feed.

  1. Food: During the summer, there are many ways that you can use food towards inspiring your summer feed. You can take an aesthetic top-down view of your food, doing a simple cheers when eating out, or even using some fruit as a prop.

2. Flowers: Throughout the summer, one of my favorite activities that I did was go to a flower field. Sunflowers are my favorite, so being able to frolic through the field, pick some flowers, and get some great pictures along the way was a fantastic day to be outdoors and get some great content along the way. A great sunflower field that I highly suggest if you are in New Jersey is Happy Day Farms.

3. The Sky: The beauty of summer is for many sunny days ahead! Using the blue sky can help with creating a different picture. You can capture great sunsets/sunrises, capture the moon, or even use it as the background of your picture.

4. Fashion: This is a great opportunity to show off your summer style! From big t-shirts to even getting all dressed up, there are many ways to display summer fun through your summer fashion at any location. By twirling around to even just sitting down are a few great ways to showcase your summer outfits.

5. Doodles: A great way for making your pictures stand out is with some fun colors and doodles!
