Option Concept 1: Scenic Overlook

For this concept, the road tripping family has disembarked from their car for a photo opportunity. It gives the viewer the idea of a road trip without actually showing the family in the car. And who doesn't like stopping to take a memorable photo at a scenic overlook?

Option Concept 2: Fun with Grandparents

For the concept below, the family has arrived at their destination and are now unpacking and greeting the grandparents as a stop along their road trip. Most people remember going on trips like this in their youth, so it has a nice familiarity to it. It was also an opportunity to showcase a same gender couple for the editorial.
