Hi Mark,

Some nice captures there.  I'll just give you a few thoughts from my perspective:

#1 Nice catch light in the eyes and looks like you've got the focus right although your depth of field is very shallow so you lose some detail in Daniel's hair.  I'd probably crop it tighter on the sides and make it more of a portrait.  There's also a redish tinge to the image which might be fixed up by adjusting the white balance.

#2 I like this one but there's probably just a bit too much out of focus foreground for me.  I'd take some of the bottom off just so the focus is really on Daniel.

#3 Another lovely shot.  Not sure what post processing software (if any) you're using but if you can darken that window you might be able to bring out Olivia's reflection  a bit more.  Definitely a keeper though.

#4 There's probably a bit too much background clutter for me (unless you're trying to emphasise Olivia trying on different shoes.  I prefer shots from children's eye level rather than the looking down shot as well.

#5 Lovely capture but depth of field for me is to shallow as her far eye is out of focus. Other than that, it's a great shot.

#6 Same again with the depth of field I think, although I'm not 100% sure.  Her left eye is dark and lacks a bit detail so it looks odd to me.  Another beautiful pose though - I think you have a great eye and are able to capture the moments of your children exceptionally well.  You might want to consider brightening her eyes in this shot - that might help.

Cheers!
