Did a portrait session with 3 of my granddaughters who live nearby. My garage/workshop is a bit jumbled up right now so I moved the furniture in our family room and set up a background and some lights inside.

I'm trying out my newest camera, the Canon 5Ds which boasts a 50 mp sensor. Very high resolution but also large files to work with. Ideally I will use this camera for portraits and landscapes where I want incredible detail and it helps if you pair it with really good lenses. So far I am very happy with the camera.

Emily (in red) is 8 and in second grade. She has really crooked teeth that will need to have braces some day so she didn't want any big toothy smiles. Sarah is 10 and Kirstyn is 14.

It's hard to really see with these smaller images that will post here but the detail is incredible. These could easily be poster size and still be super sharp.

Last batch...

Kirstyn is at typical teenage girl stage of life. Spent hours getting ready, showered washed her hair, did her makeup and carefully picked her outfits but hated the pictures when I showed her. Not my work but the way she looks.

Oh, one last shot. For many years whenever I shoot kids I always let them make funny faces every now and then if they have been giving me some good poses. Sometimes the funny ones are the best. Emily has been able to cross her eyes in different directions since she was little. She just had to do it for me one more time.

What a great record for them to treasure later on, something that won't embarrass them like bare on a bearskin.

She hates the pics now, but in 25 years, these will be the pics she brings out that show how lovely she was when she was younger.

Its not as fun when I post pics... my kids are all adults.
I did get a good one of my amazing daughter recently though.
She hadn't seen me without my beard in a looooong time.
Wine may have been involved. <3
