It's been awhile since I posted any of my work. I don't post shots for which I'm paid. This was a freebee for my wife's friend. She's the cutie on the left. Her mom and little sister came along to make it a family shoot.

The arrangement seems a little formal and forced, you could try one or two of them seated perhaps, try to get a triangle relationship between the heads? The whole delineation between a casual and spontaneous professional photo and a family snapshot is a really interesting area for those who go down that path!

I like it. Catch light in the eyes and when I first saw it, I didn't think forced expressions. Maybe the only thing I would change is to scrunch just a bit closer to show the relationship better. Overall, a nice shot they should be very happy with.

Lady in the center should be at 45 degree angle instead of straight on.

Nice lighting, especially on the hair.

Those who have pointed out that the lady in the centre shouldn't have been facing square onto camera are right; even a very slight twist of the shoulders would have made it much more flattering for her.

It's clearly a posed shot, but that's fine; all 3 have great smiles :)

In PP, watch your skin tone / saturation; they look very orange here.
