Family Photos Before Emma Leaves

Family portrait tips we have learned: squish together, and then move even closer. Outside lighting does nice things, and still use the flash to even out shadows. Take lots, and than take ten more.Before Emma left again for BYU we took family pictures. Last year was white-on-white. This year: dark clothes, so our faces pop. I can't crop this one in any closer to make the background solid. Must try bigger backgrounds.
We've been doing these couple photos so long that we have names for profile-kissing shots: his nose in front.
And my nose featured. It looks like we fit together like puzzle pieces. Grin.

Mom-Jane, this is the one we will send you 8x10 in color for your family wall! (Attention siblings: please send her current, up-dated family pictures!)
