@fetopher: Fantastic family shots. I noticed razor sharp focus and great skin tones. Mind to share what lens(es) did you use? thanks.
Thanks for the kind words! All except "2014-09-20-_D813999-Edit" were taken with the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 Art. "2014-09-20-_D813999-Edit" was with the Nikon 135mm f/2DC.
