My fourth year taking this Valentine's Day portrait of my kids as a gift for my wife.

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".iloveyou.gif
