This is great, Van! Both Kristyn and Ben look so happy. Ben looks the most like you of all your children. His smile is so much like yours! For me this is a Perfect 10 for Motherhood.

I'm not sure about the color cast. A little cold which doesn't make skin tones look that great. Nice expressions though. Was there a different background available? Leafless branches tend too just look too busy. 5

This is a 'feel good' kind of image. Gives me a nice smile and feeling. Compositionally strong and good focus. The blown out sky is a little distracting, and a little levels tweaking could make the shot a little stronger, but overall not bad. Good job.

Composition is ok. The choice of subject matter is ok. The image quality is a little below average. Could have been a little more creative. - 4

This is a very good family photo album shot. It's a bit grainy and overexposed to really work for me as a real quality photo. The colors lack vibrancy and the skin tones are pale and washed out looking. The background is downright dreary (this is an instance where shallow depth of field really comes in handy). The cropping off of her arm at the left bothers me. I have a pet peeve with children wearing clothes with characters on them in photographs. I don't mean kids shouldn't wear these clothes (which are often their favorites). I just feel that good planning for photographing children for something other than family keepsakes should involve choosing classic clothing that won't distract from the timelessness a photo like this can evoke. Characters and sports logos tend to date a photo and distract the viewer, IMO.

On the plus side, mom is lovely and the little boy's joyful grin is priceless.
