Wasnt sure where to ask this question and get a critique of the images at the same time, so I thought I would post here. If it is in the wrong place, I am sure the moderators will move it:)

First the problem. My daughter has really yellow skin~not like the color of jaundice, but a yellow tinted skin color. When I photograph her it comes out almost orange~yellow?? No matter my settings, no matter if I use flash or not. Her skin always turns out this color. Is there maybe something that can be done to tone down this color skin? Or could it be something I am doing while photographing her?? All the other colors in the image seem ok, just her skin color seems off? Could this be a white balance problem?
Here are some examples. I am also looking for critiques on how to make them better. So give me all the bad news, I can handle it:)

I would suggest that you shoot in RAW and use a WhiBal card, this would give a good start

What I've done amounts to nothing more than subtle white and gray balance adjustments.

Is it any closer?

There is a lot of blue being reflected up from the pool that she's standing in. This could be causing a bit of confusion to your WB.
