It's all about the relationship. Who are you together? How does the photo become more than just two individuals who happen to be standing next to each other? How do you portray a family while respecting each person's individuality?
That is the challenge facing the 'more than one' portrait. We meet the challenge by avoiding the cliche, the stock photo. We don't want you looking like every other couple with a generic background and generic smiles. We want to capture the interaction, the fun, the emotion between the couple or family.
That doesn't mean we don't have formal portraits, we do. It means whether the photo is going to be casual or formal, it is going to illustrate your individual relationship, not some pre-determined pose that a tired photographer uses with every couple.
