I am shooting a five person family in the morning with two softboxes indoors with a backdrop. Would you shoot f8 or f11? Or do you think you could get away with a wider aperature?

what camera? and how are you arranging them, and how much light do you have? you cant go wrong with shooting at f11 if you have enough light, and still shoot at iso 200 or lower.

I always get better results with f8 than f11 while shooting family pictures.
