Recently my family went to Napa to take family portraits.  We took about 100 shots, honestly you can do this too!  Besides the ones of my parents, I basically set up my tripod and put my camera on timer...simple.  Take it into photoshop or any photo editor, click B&W and ta dah! you have a great family portrait!
