I possibly had the best day and light for this family's shoot.
Shot later in the day with no wind and soft light.

Really nice, Bud! My faves are 7 and 10. Do you ever consider changing out the sky? I like how it looks in 9, not so much with 8. Overall, fab set. I'm sure they are very happy with these!

Nice, I like the last one the best, for some reason the others seem a bit too sterile to me, perhaps the combination of neutral expressions and smoothed out foreground/background details.

Nice set indeed.
Agree with Ron's choices (7&10) as well as # 5.

Jim and Ron made good choices, but I like 8 for the engagement and expressions. 6 and 8 -- exposed for the girls, with resultant blown-out clouds? I think the sky might have come out better with fill flash. Just wondering, not trying to rain on your parade. These are really good.

You didn't ask for a critique, so I'll apologize upfront if this is unwanted.

1st the good. I really like the setting and concept. The golden hour lighting is nice. Looks like you nailed the focus. Subjects look comfortable in front of the camera.

The issue I have with many of these is the distractions. The grass is a distraction in many shots. You need to plan its placement better or even move or cut it in places to remove distractions and interference. A higher angle in some cases would be the simple solution...but maybe not yield the effect you were looking for.

Generally, out of focus elements close to the foreground shouldn't project into the area of your subject. Light color makes them more distracting.

Specifically, the grass over the face in #1, the knee in #2 (ripped pant with skin showing is also a negative), into torsos #5 & 8, painted across butt/legs #6 & 7, and stalks to right of subjects #9.

#3 & 10 are quite nice (very nice composition) with none of these problems and #4 is has the least issues though would be better without the stalk on the hand and torso.

I hope you don't mind the suggestions for improvement. Seeing the all the elements in a photo, including the distractions, in real time, was one of the hardest things for me to learn and particularly hard when photographing loved ones.

I think these are beautiful! I too, love to frame with foreground objects and I don't feel yours are intrusive. #3 and 10 are my favorites.

Thanks all for the feedback. Will keep some of the suggestions in mind.
