This past week, I started a little instagram community using the hashtag #lifecloseup for all the zoomed in every day moments we all share to be collected and viewed together. I love the feeling of being apart of something bigger and encouraging people to focus on the details in life in their photos. I have been really trying to do the same in my own photography of our every day lives instead of the whole picture whatever that may be.
As promised I will be sharing my favorites every Sunday here on my blog. I want to help share other’s instagram feeds that I find beautiful, amazing, inspiring, and lovely as much as share my own. If there is one thing I have loved and learned from blogging, vlogging and the world wide web is to support as many people as I can.
For my first week of favorite #lifecloseup captures on instagram, I am naming them my “festive & happy” captures. Each one of them made me feel something about the holidays or emotion. I love that about a photo. It can be from home decor, to babies, to crafts…whatever your zoomed in passion is come share it. Don’t forget to check out these amazing instagrammers below who wow’ed me this week.

I am so appreciative of everyone that has joined in for my first week of #lifecloseup. I really hope it continues to grow and become a little community where we can all share our lovely zoomed in details of life. There are no rules, just hashtag your close ups, no matter what it is a capture of as all photos are welcome.
Here are a few of my own #LIFECLOSEUP this week. What do you think?
So start hashtaging your close ups and join the fun. Let’s share the love together on instagram. 🙂
I’m loving this Jenny. Sorry I didn’t have anything that fit last week. Will be making sure I join in this week. I love all your choices and yours are lovely too xxx
Oh you don’t have to have something to fit every week I am not going anywhere darling. Look forward to your zoomed in captures.
I will definitely be joining in! x
Oh that would be absolutely amazing hunny would love you to join in.

Oh yes please do darling its’ just getting started but already there are some amazing captures joining in and I share my faves every Sunday.
I am definitely going to be joining in. Such a great way to find a new community on IG. I love it too! Xx
Thank you. I am still working out the corks in my ig feed best times to post, whether or not people prefer square vs what I normally do all various sizes etc. But I hope people will come join in. Lovely to have a small community to support each other.
Love this Jenny! You’re amazing! I’m not on IG, but will be checking out the photos you post here! Take care lovely one! x
Oh thank darling that’s really sweet of you. I just like to share the love for my faves and spread word about their awesome feeds.
I will definitely join in whenever I have a closeup to share, and I’ll be checking out the hashtag often even when I don’t. Such a great idea, Jenny, and I love your selections for this week too. Not to mention that your own zoomed-in captures are so lovely!
Oh thank you darling that means a lot to me. I love creating a place we can all support, share and be merrier together.
I am so rubbish at taking pictures, but I love ones where a small detail is zoomed in on as the the main focus. #Sharewithme
Oh thank you Tracey. I love sharing zoomed in moments too.
I love this. One of my goals next year is to focus on instagram, so I will definitely use the hash tag. #sharewithme
Oh yes please do it would be so lovely to see you over there. It’s fun snapping up life’s moments zoomed in.
There’s some lovely shots here. Its a really nice idea – good luck with it.
Sally @ Life Loving
Thank you Sally glad you like the idea and I hope people start joining in such a great way to share lovely life moments zoomed in.
What a great idea. I’ll try and join but I’m really rubbish at remembering hashtags. #sharewithme
Don’t worry it is there if you remember. I always keep a list of hashtags that I use over and over otherwise I forget too. Easily done.
Cute what a lovely idea, I am terrible at instagram hashtags but will do my best to link up! #sharewithme
Oh that would be great Karen. That’s ok i have a list of people to remind if you want added to it. lol 🙂
This sounds great – must try harder to join in.
Oh that would be lovely hunny hope to see you there. I just love sharing my fave instagrammers and the love in a little community together.
Love this idea. Have tagged a few of my pics already 😉 x
Oh yes I saw thank you so much darling. It’s still first week in but I am loving it so much.
What a lovely idea – will try and remember to join in #sharewithme
Oh yes please do that would be lovely. I look forward to all the zoomed captures of life.
Ooh! Exciting!! I am definitely going to join in (when I remember)!! 😉 LOVE Insta — it’s my favourite social media by far but I only post once or twice a day. Need to spend more time on it!! 🙂 #ShareWithMe
I really love it although having a bit of a back in forth whether to keep how I have always done my photos landscape and portrait or go square completely??? Eeek but I am loving my new little community and sharing all my faves each week.
What a lovely idea. I don’t do much on Instragram, but will try and do more . It’ll be fun to see what everyone else is up too!
Oh yes stop by have a chat and hashtag away. I love instagram would be great to see you there too.
Oooo this looks interesting! We’ll hopefully start joining in when things calm down in our household. It’s such a lovely idea x #Sharewithme
Thank you darling. I know what you mean it’s so busy here I don’t know where to look at the moment. lol Typical of the holidays and end of the year.
Oh! that’s a lovely way of starting a community! I want to join in too… gorgeous photos! #sharewithme
That would be lovely and look forward to your photos.
Beautiful photos 🙂 I love the zoomed in look. It’s like looking at life from a whole new angle #sharewithme
Definitely and really makes you focus on the little things in life to take them too which is a bonus.
I love it Jenny! I will remember your #lifeupclose community for my next suitable posts. Thanks so much for hosting #sharewithme x
Thanks Becky that would be lovely. Hope to see you there.
Love this! So many great photos from different bloggers. I ‘ll join in with your hashtag #lifecloseup.
Thank you darling. I saw a few of your zoomed in moments already today. Appreciate the support and love everyone coming together.
Love this. Will definitely be joining the community. Great idea! Thanks for hosting too! #sharewithme
Thanks for joining in. I look forward to reading your post and glad you like my instagram community. Hope you will join in.
What a wonderful idea, Jenny! I’m so glad I read through this because I’m definitely going to be joining in now. I love the support from instagrammers and cannot wait to discover and meet a few more people from this community. Thanks for sharing, and for hosting us this week on #sharewithme. Hope you’re having a great week!
Whoop, whoop that’s fantastic news Maria. I love hearing that and I can’t wait to see what zoomed in captures you join in with. Thank you.
I love this! I never think to do things like this…then again, to be honest I never put a whole lot of thought into my photos! Ha! Such an interesting challenge…I’ll have to join in!
#sharewithme
That’s why I created it firstly to challenge myself to take more zoomed in life moment captures and to share the love with so many great instagrammers too.
I love this! I never think to do things like this…then again, to be honest I never put a whole lot of thought into my photos! Ha! Such an interesting challenge…I’ll have to join in!
#sharewithme
It’s great to challenge ourselves with it and fun at the same time. Come join me and hashtag away.
Gorgeous selection of photos and sounds like a lovely idea for an Instagram community – will have to check out some of the photos on the hashtag and try and join in 🙂
Yes please do, stop by share the love and see some new feeds you might not have seen before. Such a fun community feel to it.
It’s a nice idea for an Instagram community. It is very true that capturing a detail brings more meaning than including a whole scene.
I’ve just spent an hour browsing kids socks and I love Missy Moo’s ones!
#sharewithme
Oh I am now sock obsessed and got a bunch more for her. They are so fun and look cute with shorts and skirts for her. Definitely her type of style.
Such lovely photos! It’s a great idea and I will try to remember to join in! #sharewithme
Thank you Carolyn that would be lovely. I really hope more people join in non bloggers welcome too. It’s such a lovely community.
Lovely idea and some great photos there. Can’t join in, as don’t use instagram, but nice to see them. #sharewithme
Oh thank you and I love sharing my favorites with everyone non bloggers too.
This is such a great idea! I will definitely be joining. Your photos are beautiful and it means so much more when the photos are coming from the heart : ) #sharewithme
Oh that means so much to me. My instagram is slow growing but I do love it and sharing my favorites too.
Ahh this is a lovely idea! I’m on Instagram but I must admit I don’t fully know how to use it properly so I must look you up!! 🙂
#sharewithme
Oh pop over say hello and I am here to help with anything to get your started lovely. I adore instagram so much. 🙂
A lovely round-up Jenny!!! So much prettiness! Am going to try and remember to join in this week! A lovely little community!
Thank you darling. It really is such a great feeling to have a little community to share with. So many great captures.
Gorgeous choices. Close ups are definitely my thing. It’s choosing the photos to upload while still keeping plenty for the blog that’s hard
Oh yes I try not to do the same ones too. I usually share different angles or zoomed in or out of the same project, day out, or whatever we are doing and loving so that its different. I try to do different on my facebook page as well but there can only be so many photos in a day hahaha
I love this idea Jenny, as much as I love Instagram (which is a lot!) . I’ll be continuing to join in when I have a suitable pic xx #Sharewithme
Oh thank you so much darling means a lot. I love it so much and it’s been a lot of fun getting to know more instagrammers in the process.
You are one clever chikita. Gorgeous idea and just been looking at your roundup of some of your faves in your latest post on the site before I hopped on here. Bless you; what a fab way to appreciate the small things when there is so much crap going on the world. #ShareWithMe
