{Summer Photo Checklist // Capture the Magic of the Season // Free Printable}

There’s just something about summer...the golden light, the slow mornings, the road trips and lake days, the way time seems to stretch a little longer. It’s the season of memories, and for me, that means photos, lots of them! Whether you’re spending your summer chasing sunsets, exploring Texas backroads, or hanging out on your porch with sweet tea and hummingbirds, I’ve created a fun Summer Photo Checklist to help you capture the beauty and joy of this season.

Make It Yours

You can check these off with your phone or DSLR, print out the list and add it to your scrapbook, or even share your progress on Instagram with a cute highlight cover! (Psst…I’ll be posting mine under #HallAroundTexasSummer if you want to follow along.)

Remember, the goal isn’t perfect photos. It’s meaningful memories. Let this summer be one you slow down and savor, one frame at a time.
