Family outing

I know some folks don't like portraits of kids, but today I couldn't help but take photographs of them. For some reason their eyes all stood out with what they were wearing, and well I hadn't used the xt1 for portraits yet so I asked the kids to get comfortable and fired of some shots as they were naturally, no posing just natural. So I know the poses aren't the best, but for snaps of the kids I am pretty happy with them. So here's my four kids growing up too quick in my opinion.
(File sizes aren't off my main computer, these were smaller files emailed to my phone for keepsake on there)

Very good use of the light, and especially of the natural shade.

How did you set the wb for these? It mostly looks to be quite good; with only a slight tendency towards cyan, and I'm curious to find our if this was auto wb.

It was auto white balance but in lightroom when i uploaded them i chose the vivid fuji colour profile instead of the adobe. It pretty much looked exactly as it looked. I pretty much only change the colour profile and adjust the sharpening nowadays for shots of the kids.

Superb Kristen, especially 1 and 4. Crisp, razor sharp eyes and fun, happy expressions.

All very professional looking. I like the natural postures of your subjects and how deceptively easy these portraits look.
