Dennis and Kristin did almost all the shots  while I assisted and gave pointers (they were part of my earlier portrait shooting sessions; this was just a refresher for them).

Here are a couple of only 5 photos I took using Dennis’ camera:

Cameras:  EOS Canon 20D and 40D

Lenses: Canon EF 70-200 f/4 L and Tamron 17-50 2.8

Lights: 1 580 EX II and 2 Generic speedlights

My current streamlined gear list after 2 major downsizings:
