Hi April,

I too agree with Chris; use #1, and #3. The are great shots for reference, and pleasing together. The blue shirt photo does not come accross as over exposed, but you are a better judge than us. Since they are your own kids I am sure you will have no trouble knowing if the tonality or anything else in the portraits are right or not. The only thought I have at this point is to suggest getting the scale of your kids more or less identical, so that one is not significantly larger than the other. On the other hand that could be interesting to have them different, if they actually are. Best wishes and have fun!
