I apologize for not posting the photo prompts earlier in the month. If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I’ve been recovering from another surgery (my 4th in 4 years!) But its not too late to take some meaningful photos this month.

This month’s theme is Love and Connection, and one of my favorite ways to lean into a theme is through simple photo prompts.

January feels like a good time to pay attention to the small things that are changing inside and outside of us. That’s why I chose Growth for this month’s theme. Growth can be big and visible. It can also be slow and quiet, showing up in ways you might not notice until you look back later. It might be something you’re learning, healing from, building, or even something you are letting go of. Looking for growth in photos helps me see what is happening that I might otherwise overlook.
