So, make sure you have more memory cards and batteries than you think you could possibly use, and check out these tips for better photos on your family vacation.
Take pictures in the morning and early evening on your trip. Put up your camera during midday; the lighting will not be good.
Have a photo shoot on the beach before you leave. Schedule it for early evening for a soft, pretty light. Dress the family in white tops, khaki shorts, and bare feet.
Tell a story with your pictures. Shoot a series of pictures as your child builds a sandcastle or works up the courage to try a big ride at the park.
Get close and capture an emotion. When I look at a photo of my son at age three, his expression of pure joy and anticipation as he rides the tram to the Six Flags gate for the first time brings back the happiness we felt that day.
