You are so good at dialogue...you can add their remembering back to the photo shoot in one of their sessions in the here after...or not.

I think I have seen that picture somewhere Pat. Pretty really is being young and having vitality. A nurse told me when she was sticking little wires on my chest for a scan. Of course if one is born with them, your answer is better than mine.

You could add a paper moon...
It could go anywhere, in the story or in a foreward, maybe on the dedication page.
The paper moon--beautiful, shared, but as it turned out, only paper...

Well, there doesn't necessarily have to be anything about a 'paper moon' in the story! I think the idea and concept would speak for itself! They could have been sitting together on a horse or a park bench. It's the ideal of togetherness that I'm assuming you're trying to portray. And that sounds like a picture I could see my mom & dad posing for, since my dad was in the Navy as well . . .

I think its a grand idea (as they would have said then, instead of merely 'great', LOL) - there doesn't have to be anything in the novel about a paper moon! But the picture well conveys one of its characteristics - it's suspended between (or supported by) reality and phantasy, after all...
