My best friend agreed to let me do some fall portraits a week or so ago and I am VERY pleased on how they turned out...They loved them too!!
First one is of my best friend and his beautiful family and the second is of one of his daughters, she was very camera friendly!
Last one is one I did for my wifes best friends kids for Christmas Cards..

Just a couple sample photos...as always..C&C is welcome!

These are good, the only issue is the white balance seems to be a bit inconsistent (which every photographer struggles with). I would highly recommend warming up the second picture, that's the winner for me!

Very nice!

I agree about warming up #2 a touch. You might also consider adding a bit more space to the bottom of #1 and #3, they seem a tad abrupt to me.

Ditto what they^ said, but I would like to add (in my limited experience) that, I would have tried some where the subjects weren't dead center.

Thanks everyone, I'll warm up #2 a bit and work on the white balance and putting some space in the fore ground too. I agree they need some room!
Thanks,
-Steven

White balance appears inconsistent. Might have cropped 1 tighter and 3 in portrait. Nice images overall.

Love the fashion sense of your model in #2..a 1/4CTO on flash might've handled that warmth issue...
