Join the #PFPFamilyChallenge - Capturing the Heart of Family Life

Let's Capture the Ordinary

When it comes to family photography, it's the ordinary moments that often hold the most extraordinary memories. The way your child's face lights up over a simple breakfast, the quiet moments of concentration during play, or the chaos of getting out the door for school - these are the snapshots of life that tell your unique family story. They are the things that make up the fabric of our family lives, show your family's unique dynamic and are a truer representation of our children's growing up than those big moments when everyone's face is clean and shirts tucked in. 

So we want to challenge you, for one month, to capture the ordinary. To turn your gaze to moments we often overlook, searching for the pretty and the tidy and the 'presentable'

How It Works

Each day, we'll release a simple prompt on our Instagram and Facebook [@photoparents] that suggests what to capture and how. These prompts are designed to inspire and guide you in photographing your family's daily life. For those who like to plan, every Monday we'll post the prompts for the entire week on our blog, so you can get a head start! Some of the prompts will be focusing on your kids, some on the wider family, some on you - the photographer and magic maker.

Getting the Most Out of the Challenge

We understand that committing to photographing and posting every day can be daunting, but it's a great opportunity to reinvigorate your photography or set yourself a new challenge. It's only a month. If you set your mind to it, and especially if you commit to posting your photos daily, you can absolutely do it. You don't have to use the big camera for everything - use your phone too if that's what you have on you! Not every photo will be a work of art - that's OK - not every day is a highlight. Not every photo needs to be edited to within an inch of its life either. 

However if daily photo feels too much,  feel free to dip in and out as you like. Treat these prompts as friendly suggestions, guiding you to capture those precious family moments and however many you capture, however best it works for you, you'll still be better of for having captured at least some of them!
