Are you settling in to a new normal yet?
There's a few fun things going on in the Yellow Lab community that I want to share with you.
The photo a day challenge on my instagram page has reached more than 100+ posts! I'm delighted so many of you have joined to keep us creative and in a positive headspace. This has been a great way to make new friends online and build community. One of the things I really love about it, is that there are NO rules.
If you don't post one day, it's totally cool! If you want to start today, you can start on day 1 or on the day that the whole group is on. I try share each post to my stories so you can also see the other joining in on the challenge.
Tag me @yellowlabpetphoto on instagram to make sure I see it so I can share it to my stories and also use #ylphotochallenge so others can find your post.

You've asked for phone photo tips and have loved my first IGtv tips. I've also since uploaded an old tutorial in action of how to easily photograph your black dog with your phone.
