Utilise roadside stopovers

Make memories inside as well

It literally turns into your ‘home’ for your travel duration and thus taking pictures inside of the most mundane things can create a lot of memorable pictures for your album. Take pictures of how you’ve set up the space, capture your kids in their natural element while waking up or eating food or even simply playing. Even pictures of you driving around can help encapsulate the experience and emotions you felt.
Carry the required gear
Most importantly, carry the required gear to make sure you can make the whole family fit in one frame. Apart from the camera, think of photography accessories such as tripods, handheld sticks, mounts, and more so no one is missed in the pictures and you can take them from however far or near!
