Reflector for a family of 5?

[abarickman]

I have a family shoot this weekend with 3 kids and two adults. The shoot will probably be around 10am so I plan to shoot in open shade and use a reflector. My worry is that with 5 people I will not be able to cover 5 people with the output of a single reflector. This being the case what are my options (other than a better time of day).

I only have one reflector and one assistant. I do however have two flashes that I can put on stands on either side. I am thinking of putting them on either side bare bulb and trying to get sufficient even fill.

Any advice based on what I have proposed? Have you been able to use a single reflector with a whole family?

I think the strobes will be a much better option that trying to use a reflector. As long as you can figure your power out before hand and not be putzing around. I think how you arrange the group will have an impact too, maybe drop the power on one of the strobes by a stop or so to avoid it coming off as flat... you can always move it to get what you need anyways. good luck.
