Sibling portraits of the kids

Today was the first rainy day for a while, so we decided to stay in and take some sibling portraits. I think that the above photo shows our kids at their best: laughing and enjoying life!

Below a few of my favorites:

For tech geeks:

These photos are shot with the camera on a tripod. I used a radio trigger to trigger the camera. This allowed me to walk around the kids and correct their poses and take the shot before they had moved too much.

For lighting I used 2 or 3 speedlights. The key light is a SB28 shot through an umbrella. The background is lit with a gridded SB28. For the shot where Ode is lying under the chair,  I used one addittional SB80 to bounce some light into his face from a white reflector.
