I'm going to be taking family portraits for a friend soon and I am in no way a professional photographer but this friend likes the work I've done and has asked me to do it, so I'm going to for free of course, but I want the photos to turn out as professional as possible. I'll be working with a Nikon D90 and a AF-S Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8. I'd accept absolutely any advice at all anyone wants to give me on shooting family portraits (outdoors) but my question for now is--What settings should I use to ensure that all of their faces come out in great focus? Should I use the "Face priority" setting in my camera or will that only focus on one face? I'm not opposed to doing things more manually, I just don't know what types of focus settings I should have in place or if there are other "tricks" so to say.
