They're formal only in the sense that the entire family is in one spot
and everyone is posing and making an effort to smile for the camera.
It's always a challenge to try and find a shady spot at 1:30pm that
doesn't also have strong, mottled sunshine and other bright surfaces
that love to challenge the dynamic range of the sensor. But two studio
flash units for fill, a big battery pack, raw mode and PhotoShop help
make up the difference.
Here's the entire family as a group.

I still have to fix the reflections in the glasses and a few other
things. I've already been asked if I can grow some more grass in the
bare spots in the foreground :-)
