Official family photographer, Duke #2, will shout out a certain genre that we have to emulate.
Let me illustrate:
He says "Commercial!".
She does this:

She poses thusly:
And when Duke #2 barks out "COUTURE!"
I do this:
Kind of a hot mess, non?
Like I said, there are some things we vonB's don't do well...
