Ive got some friends who want me to shoot them for their boyfriends in the near future. Does anybody have any tips on how I should go about lighting 3-5 girls? I have 3 lights with umbrellas for sure to use, I may be able to get additonal lights or softboxes in addition to the umbrellas! Any help would be MUCH appreciated!

This really depends on the conditions you'll be shooting inand what lights you have now. 3 lights should be plenty to shoot a group of this size, the issue will really be what effect you want to get with those lights.

How about GF's Lightsphere? I had some decent results on groups.
