I am looking for tips on how to create a baluster family that will stay perpendicular to the stair stringer and landing. Any suggestions or samples?

One approach (as per AU 2009) would be to create a generic family of the required baluster (exactly like you want it - slanted, sculptured, modelled, etc.) and then load it into an empty baluster family (i.e. making it a nested family). Load this resulting baluster into your project and use it in your rail definition as per normal...

Then, you could use a separate piece of rail for the stairs (with slanted balusters) and separate for a landing (with the same baluster being of a vertical variety).
