Should I just add photos of my partner and I together or of other things as well.

For example my partner recently came to visit me In the Caribbean with his two children and we have many photos of the trip but few of us actually together. Should I just storybook the trip with many photos or just limit it to the ones of us together.

Thanks

Definitely don't limit your pics to just you and your partner. Show the IO that you are actively involved with his children, his family and friends, his interaction with your family and friends, and/or any travels you've taken together. By way of explanation (photo captions) include who is pictured and their relation to you or your spouse, where, when, why if appropriate, and who took the picture. That way if you have a picture with your step children that your husband snapped the IO will know.

I used pics of us on various trips we took. I had pics of him with my brother and parents. I submitted a photo of him with his extended family that I took at a birthday party in France. Because I applied in the conjugal partner category I had to prove the inter-dependency of our relationship. So, I even included a photo of my guy working on the weather stripping on my front door!

We made sure at least one of us was in each picture, makinng sure that there is a photo of each of us with at least each family member of the other. For instance - me with each of his sisters, his mom, his dad. Him with my mom, my son and my grandmother. If we had them with that 2 of us together, that was even better.

We were methodical about it, but still sent like 140 photos. We made sure each trip had photos, as well as each major event :)

Good luck!

I think we sent about 8 photos; so something in the number between 8 and 140 should be fine :eek:
