So this was our second paid family shoot and our second family shoot in 6 days. We were really happy with the results and would love to know what you think? Areas we did well in and areas we need work on...

I'm a fan. My only 'maybe-not' would be #4. Was the Mum OOF in-camera or has it been enhanced in PP? Her blur just doesn't look completely natural considering the child is nearly in focus from front-to-back. Very minor "criticism" of what is a great & very natural series

It was all in camera, just a funny blur I guess. I seem to enjoy the picture despite the funny blur. Thanks for the compliments though.

Great photos but im not a fan of your choice you used for skin tones, looks a bit harsh and redish. I think first one is the best.

I guess to each their own, I like the warm look that it gives. The first one's processing didn't work for the rest of the pictures.

Its funny, I liked #4 the best - great expression.

Im personally not a HUGE fan of your skin tones, but it is definitely your style and it is a stylistic thing. I think you did great.
