Family photoshoot at the beach - C&C's are always welcomed!!!

This is the first time i've photographed for this family... I was referred to them by another family whom I've photographed several times before... However, this family wanted to shoot outdoors at a local beach here in SoCal... Anyhoo, any C&C's would be greatly appreciated... EXIF's are attached for detailed information...

#1 - Daddy

#1 - The WB is off, the whole photo has a blue tint. It's all a little underexposed.

#2 - The background is a little dark, not much separation between it and her hair.

#3 - I like the pose and the kids expressions. The composition is nice with the rock in the foreground. The photo seems a little soft, especially on the boy's face.

#4 - I like the pose. Would be be stronger if they were both looking the same direction. I would remove the little bit of her arm peeking out from his left side.

#5 - The brightest part of the photo is the center which is their shirts. It almost looks like you added a vignette. I would brighten their faces and tone down the shirts just a bit.

^ Thanks Moose for the C&C's... Much appreciated!!!

All the technicals flaws I can spot have been addressed. I just want to say one more thing... These must be the sweetest, nicest family photos I've seen!

Very nice and a few of things addressed can be tweaked in Photoshop or LightRoom.

^ Thanks for that last comment Reefy & Lunajen... I guess it's all in the post processing... I'll go back and redo... Anyone else that would like to contribute more C&C's are welcomed to do so...
