#1 is great!! so funny that you post that.. just this morning i was thinking i need to set up to get a shot of my son grabbing my phone in the dark every morning

I love #1. Kinda makes you wonder what they're watching

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.

I love them all too! So easy to get taken back to when mine were that young. 98% joyful with a 2% pinch of melancholy.

My reaction to #1:

"See, I did so take a picture of you in your bikini."

What was your lens of choice for these shots?

Thank you everyone for your comments <3

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

6 & 7 are my faves. Crop 6 to portrait orientation with him on the left third and you have a winner.
