My first thought: That looks like it must have been a blast both for you and the girls.
I had a question: Did you use high speed sync? I can only go to about 1/200th of a second with my alien bee B400 strobes and simple triggers (radiopopper nanos). I did shoot a few jumping shots, which worked.
In any case, lots of marvelous shots. I have to agree that #7 (tutu) is great. #10 is also a favorite.
Thanks.

Hi Dave,
When you shoot in a studio setting with settings so there is no ambient light coming into your shot, it's not your shutter speed that matters but rather the flash duration of whatever light source you're using. So while your shutter speed may be 1/200, your AB400 at a lower power might have a flash duration of 1/1000 or whatever, and that's what allows you to freeze your jumping shots. With the Einstein, it can be 1/4000 of a second.
High speed sync comes into play when you're shooting typically in bright daylight and you want to add some flash to the shots. For that, I use my Yongnuo speedlights.
