Photography Tips for Road Trips

Blog· Entertainment

There is nothing quite like jumping in a car and heading off for an adventure. I love taking road trips because you get to see and do so many more things rather than flying. Nothing can beat the sites you see and the memories you make while you’re on the road.

One thing that I make sure I do when traveling is take as many pictures as possible. It’s a great way to relive your memories in the future. I’m not an expert photographer, but have learned some tricks of the trade when it comes to photography that you can use on your next road trip.Road Trip Photography Tips

Learn how to use your camera. Check your local Best Buy or camera’s manufacturer and see if they have any classes available. I’ve had the Best Buy guys help me with my DSLR more times than not. They are always extremely helpful and have taught me a few things. Also check youtube for tips.

Make a photography scavenger list. You and your children can use this list. Write down a list of 100 things on a piece of paper of fun things to photograph. Give the list to everyone on your road trip and have them take at least 25 pictures of the things on the list. At the end of the road trip, compare pictures!

Road Trip Photography Tips

Buy a point and shoot camera. I highly recommend investing in a nice camera. For the longest time, I used only my phone camera. While phone camera is awesome, I had no idea how big of a difference a DSLR made on my pictures. My first DSLR was the Canon Rebel t5i and I have found it very easy to learn and grow with. You don’t have to buy an expensive camera but I would recommend finding one that fits your needs.

Make a stop at your local Best Buy before your trip. I usually start of things I need for my trip a couple weeks in advance. My list is usually made up of tech items ranging in everything from selfie sticks to phone chargers. We like to stop at Best Buy on our way out so we can grab all the items we need.

Buy a tripod. You don’t have to be a professional photographer to own a tripod. I own a tripod for my phone and for my DSLR. It’s perfect for any image that you’re trying to get. I love to use my tripod to film videos. It’s great way to capture your kids playing, the beautiful scenery or a video to send to a loved one.

One of my favorite things about 2020.... businesse One of my favorite things about 2020.... businesses adapting and making things work! I was recently introduced to @savageburritos and I'm in love.  Savage Burritos is the love child of Uncle Julios so it you like UJ, you'll love Savage.  They are a delivery only service offering burritos and bowls from select Uncle Julio kitchens in DFW. We ordered a variety of items from burritos, bowls, queso and more. Every single item was bursting with flavor. If you like spicy,  I highly recommend the Nashville Hot Chicken Burrito. 🔥 Don't forget to add on a Margarita pop - nothing beats alcohol and Mexican food delivered straight to your door!

I know this year has dragged on and on for many pe I know this year has dragged on and on for many people but it has flown by to me. I'm 100% sure it has something to do with welcoming Myles into this world during the height of a pandemic and keeping a toddler alive at the same time.  I can't wait for Christmas morning to make memories with my little family (even though Christmas shopping isn't complete and I haven't even thought about wrapping presents). It will all fall in to place, it always does. We didn't attend our favorite Christmas events this year or get pictures with Santa so this random Santa picture will do and I'm 100% happy with it.  If this year has taught you anything,  let it be finding the joy in the little things ❤
The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Althoug The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Although things might be a bit different this season, we're still enjoying some of our favorite foods and traditions. This year we're incorporating ordering family meal kits from @chuysrestaurant for not only my family but extended family that we might not be able to hang with this holiday.  It's a simple way to spread the joy with loved ones, eat delicious food and not forget the reason for the season.  #ad #nachoaverageholiday
Family pictures are always so much fun.... this ye Family pictures are always so much fun.... this year we got to attempt it twice thanks to sweet Bryce.  Thankfully the second time around he cooperated. As painful as they may be,  I'm so glad we get these done every year. I love looking back at them and see how much we've all changed and how much the kids have grown!
Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We got our family pictures back and they look great other than the fact that Bryce decided not to participate. We got one shot with my entire family and Bryce is off to the side playing in poison ivy. 🤦‍♀️

I wanted to send a quick thank you for all the birthday love yesterday! Birthdays are not my favorite day but it was nice to hear from so many people. Here's to another year around the sun ❤
This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city r This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city ran completely by kids. Your child gets to fully immerse themselves into role playing any job they can imagine. From checking animals at the veterinarian, putting out fires as a firefighter,  flying planes in an simulator, creating their own personal logo with Bic, or being a weatherman at WFAA - the options are endless! Kidzania activities are for ages 4 and up.

We felt very comfortable inside with their safety protocols. Temperatures were checked before entering.  Everybody ages 4 and up must wear a mask.  Hand sanitizer was readily available throughout the entire space.  If you're looking for a fun outlet for your child to explore, check it out!
