We've only done formal family portraits 4-5 times.

We have been looking for artwork for years now and finally realized that we can blow up and print our own far FAR cheaper than buying someone else's. (Although the guy that got us interested in photos is so good that I will probably never compare to him, Peter Lik.

We decided on one picture, also taken at Monument Valley with my little Canon S90 compact, that were actually blowing up -after heavily cropping the bottom and top, to 36 by 12 inches. I got a special plug in JUST for this picture who's sole purpose is enlarging pictures with better accuracy then Photoshop itself is capable of. (You can see a description here:
