Skin tones look underexposed buddy to be honest. there is no lift between subject and background. You can rectify in P/shop.

Andy Eos1nrs aka donkey boy could give you some pointers. full time studio tog an all..

They just look a little flat to me and need punch and contrast. The expressions and poses are fine and good...just need some 'oooomph'

See what you mean, I have printed an A4 size of this and it looks fine printed, will have a play around in PS and print another. Thanks for stopping to take a look and commenting, very much appreciated.
All the best

Great shot, she is very photogenic and blonde hair is always a winner on little girls, see plenty of them coming through the studio...show the mums a quick preview on the back of the camera and they always go weak at the knees!!
D3 eh??nicely done, havent got the boss round my finger yet, but i will. from my shoots last week we did a shade under £10k over 6 viewings..reckon i'm loreal?? sorry worth it? lol
only thing i find off-putting from the two shots is the earring on the youngest boy...other than that, fabulous shots of great looking kids. nice work, now get the money rolling in to pay for the D3
