Happy Thursday! While you’re staying home way more than any other summer, you may be running out of fun picture ideas.

Today I want to share with you some of my all-time favorite Instagram picture ideas for summer. Save your favorites to look back on when you are in need of some perfect summertime picture inspiration! Enjoy!

Blowing Bubbles

Such simple summertime fun! Plus you can pretty much find bubbles in every store you go into (plus Amazon… I love you, Amazon) during the summer. Get creative with angles and your camera’s distance to the bubbles.

Sparkler Fun

Although sparklers are synonymous with celebrating the 4th of July, you can take some seriously awesome and beautiful sparkler pictures anytime over the summer! Look for long-lasting options so you can take your time while making memories.

Pool Floats

Capture your lazy, sunshine-filled summer days in your favorite pool float! Swans, watermelons, unicorns, pizza slices, yellow ducks — the list goes on and on when it comes to super cute pool floats. Is there really a wrong choice when it comes to a pool float?

Flowers In Your Face

An easy to recreate photo idea that you can take just about anywhere flowers are available! Plus the end result is just oh so pretty! You can easily use the grass as a backdrop (as above), or opt for a lush tree, a pretty painted wall, or go in the pool!

In A Pool

Pool photos are always Insta-worthy. Aside from adding a super cute pool float, add a fun sun hat, or show off your watermelon pool-side snack to add extra interest and fun!

Watermelon Love

Speaking of watermelon, it’s not summer without digging into this delicious fruit! There are so many cute and creative watermelon photo ideas! Watermelon not your go-to summer fruit? Pineapples are also used to help create Insta-worthy pictures!

Eating Ice Cream

It’s hot out — it’s inevitable you’ll be indulging on a cool summer snack. Ice cream is a total summer necessity! Take the time to add sprinkles and a cone — if you’re staying home you can at least make it look like you went to an ice cream parlor.

Popsicle Treat

Another sweet summertime treat to help you cool off. You’re going to be snacking away on it all summer anyway, why not snap a cute photo once in a while?

Backyard Picnic

A backyard picnic is a fun and easy way to change up your day to day schedule. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a simple snack — pick one and take it outside! Plus, it can be a really sweet at-home date idea!

Daisy Jones & The Six — one of my favorite book adaptations ever. 📚 More books need to be made into a limited TV series rather than crammed into a movie.  #daisyjonesandthesix #bookadaptation #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #bookflatlay

This is one of the best historical fiction books I’ve ever read (listened to, thank you @netgalley). If you have the chance to get your hands on this one, READ IT! 

It doesn’t just tell you what happened in history, it truly makes you feel it. It educates you and moves you all at the same time. Thank you @tammyehuf I’ll read anything you write.

My #ThoughtDaughter book stack from July—the month I tried to pick a theme that resonated the most with me. My standouts: Alone With You In The Ether, The Virgin Suicides, and My Year Of Rest and Relaxation which I think about every time I buy an iced coffee and consider buying a second. #bookstagram #bookstack #myyearofrestandrelaxation #alonewithyouintheether
