Hi everyone this is my first post on here.

First a little story as to how this came about.
My wife is organizing a Gala Ball & also a Teen Ball to raise money for a childhood cancer charity due to a family friends daughter currently fighting cancer.
My wife is putting a lot of work into this and I was feeling like I wanted to contribute something other than just supporting her, so one day I opened my big mouth and said "Hey maybe I could do some family shoots to help raise some money?" (I mainly shoot landscapes & this was going to be a challenge for me)
Which she thought was a great idea! Gulp!

My wife organized 12 family shoots over a few weekends and I went about getting as much knowledge as I could before doing the first shoot.
I must say that it was a challenge and I enjoyed the whole experience of it.

I'm posting these to get some feed back & overall advise on the photos from others who do this all the time as to how I could improve.
The clients and my wife are extremely happy with the shots but I know that there is room for improvement.

I hope 15 isn't too many photos.
Thanks for any input.

Welcome, Dan. I see this was your first post.

Lots of good shots. I like that you had good interaction with the subjects. You showed action and good expressions.

Good stuff, and it's great when people volunteer their services for a good cause. You might want to check the WB on 7 & 10.

Number 13 is your winner in this set. Well balanced light(there's a few others that just had flat lighting), good color and DOF, and the WB is right. There's some orange color casts around his jaw line but in this case, it helps warm the skin tones up(there's some spots that could be cleaned up from the color casts but nothing major).

Thanks for helping out for the good cause. Always appreciate volunteers
