It all started with this shot when Samantha was only 1 month old.

Thanks, Lynne.

It's taken me 4 years, but I finally have this shot figured out. I now can take this photo in less than 5 minutes.

Lay the blanket on the floor, bounce two strobes off the white ceiling, position children, climb up stepladder, fire off 6 shots and then watch as they all crawl under the blanket and play "tent".:lust

You have got this shot nailed! Beautiful! And what fun to look back and see how much your kids have grown and how much you've grown as a photographer. :clap
