99% of my photos these days are family happy snaps, I sometimes think it's a waste of good gear but then realise thats why I got it, family are the most important and capturing memories like this are so important. I like the feel of these shots so I thought I would torture you all with them :D

I am still blown away with how good the 5D is in low light and teamed with the 70-200 f2.8II it a great team.

Nice snaps Bruce and yes, family shots are priceless.

A second yes to the 5D/70-200 ii combo. It is sensational.

#2 and #3 are great shots, i would like #1 if she had a sligthly better facial expression she looks a bit strained there. That said I know that it can take 50 frames to nail that perfect smile and fcial expression.

I really like 3, such a cute little pose and I really wonder what she is looking at in the pool.
