My dad and I did a photoshoot with a family earlier this week. Here is one of the better one I took. Getting a great picture with all 3 little girls was quite difficult due to their age and lack of attention span. Suggestions to help with that?

Even though there is a harsh glare on the right side of the shot, I thought it was a decent shot.

Yup, you have some lens flare just above the right-most girl's head. Were I the customer, that would pretty much kill it as a purchase desision. Aside from that, the light is nice and you did a wonderful job balancing the fill with the sun - making this a very nice photograph.

Oh, and I'm not loving the tilt, but that's a cropping issue

Yep, I pretty much agree what Scott has said. Even before reading his response I was tilting my head to see it more normally.

The sun at that angle can be tough.

Yea, I do like to tilt a few just to see how they turn out. I have several straight shots, this one was just one of the best pictures of the girls since they are smiling so well.

Here is a straight one. The expressions on the girls' faces aren't as good in this shot.

Use a lens hood to keep light sources/reflections from striking the front element of the lens.
