I'd like to hear what I could do differently/better as far as composition and editing goes if you have any input...

I know this one I should have gotten her head all the way, but this was the only one I was able to snap like this and I liked it, so I just went with it.

I like all of the compositions and the subject matter, but if I were to "nitpick" I can only see two very small issues:

• Picture 1) There must be a blade of grass or something else clouding your son's left eye (your right). It makes that eye look duller than the other. This may be easy enough to Photoshop out. Other than that, I love the coy smile on his face.

• Picture 4) I am not a fan of the tree in the background right between your wife and son. Although it is far enough away and out-of-focus, to me, it distracts you from the two subject's beautiful faces.

Sometimes you have to take a picture at the "spur of the moment" to capture the scene, so there may be nothing that could have been done beforehand. Still, I love any type of photography and keep up the excellent work.
