I think your lighting is very soft and professional looking, and the image is sharp and clear and should reproduce nicely to send to your family. The kids will be more relaxed at home, and you can force them to do this quite often. The suggestions above are all good, but most important thing is that you like the results. They are pictures that will be treasured forever. Make sure to get some really embarrassing ones! You did not say if you used a film or a digital camera. If it is digital and you take the file into a large camera store they should be able to make prints for you. I do not know your exact situation (some folks are FAR away from a large camera store), so post again with any questions. From the nice quality of this one, hope to see more from you.
