If I really really had to pick one, I would go with #9. Preciousness to the Nth power.

2 is my favorite! Great photo.

1 is a close second.

Great job.

Some of these are very nice. #1... very cute expression! I like #2 best... she is a lovely girl, and her expression makes that shot worthwhile. #3 is also cute.. a nice memory.

Excellent! I really love these shots!! Can you tell me what kind of processing you did in shots 3, 4 and 5? I really like how the colors in their clothes pop but the ocean is not so saturated. Great effect.

With these I did a med contrast tone curve slightly bumping down the shadows. Then I burned the entire background (auto mask people) -.40 on exposure + darkening shadows and adding a bit more clarity and contrast. Edited in LR4 . Oh yes I also did a slight vignette

What was your lens of choice for these shots?

These were all shot with my 50mm1.4 and my crop sensor

Thanks for sharing your processing. I can't really pick a favorite because I like them all. Great captures of family memories.

These are really really special! Wow! Love the tone, the use of black and white, the shots you "caught." I mean, these are truly wonderful. Great work!!
