February is the month of connection – love, friendship, kindness, and all the beautiful moments that remind us we belong. 🩷
This month’s Photo A Day theme is all about those ties that bring warmth to your days – from the people you love to the small gestures that make you smile. It’s about seeing connection in unexpected places: a note from a friend, the song that always makes you sing, or a moment of calm in a busy week.
The prompts are simple, gentle invitations to pause and notice the things (and people) that make life feel good. Whether you’re capturing love, laughter, or light, this month is a reminder that connection is everywhere – we just have to look for it.
Grab your phone or camera and join us. Let’s make February a month filled with heart, one photo at a time. 💕
How to play Photo A Day
Playing Photo A Day is super simple, and an easy way to get creative.
📷 Look at the list for the daily prompt.
📷 Take a photo using the prompt as inspiration. For example, if the prompt is ‘SOMETHING I SHARED’ so start the month and share a photo of something you shared with someone – a moment, a meal, a car, a home… you get the drift!
📷 Once you’ve taken your photo, it’s time to share it! You can share to Instagram, or Facebook (more details below).
📷 Enjoy the community. On both Instagram and Facebook (especially in our private Facebook group), we have a beautiful community. Each day we pick our favourite four photos to put a spotlight on. You can spend time liking and commenting on other people’s photos, and maybe your photos will get picked for the Fab Four!
How to play on Instagram
Simply check out the list for the daily prompt, and then snap a photo using that as inspiration. Share your photo, and be sure to include the hashtag #FMSPAD in your caption so the community can see your photos. We also have a daily hashtag list (see below) so that we can find your daily photos easier.
Follow our @fms.photoaday Instagram account. We love showing off photos from our community. You can look at the #FMSPAD hashtag to see all the great photos from the challenge.
How to play on Facebook
We have a fun, private FMS Photo A Day Facebook Group that you’re welcome to join. It’s a dedicated place to share your daily photos. We also have a beautiful team who selects four photos every day (the Fab Four) from each daily prompt.
You’re also welcome to share to your own personal feed, whatever suits you best.
How to remember the Photo A Day prompts
Remembering the daily prompts can sometimes be a challenge. You can bookmark this blog post to refer to, save the Photo A Day list to your camera roll (or even make it your screensaver), or you’ll find the list at the top of our Facebook Group. We have also added the prompts to our calendar, so you can download for an easy reminder.
