I understand the spouse cooperation issue. My husband refuses to let me take his picture.. Yea to your Mrs. for giving in if not just for a short momment. I like #2 the best. She looks more relaxed and at ease there. The white balance seems off probably from working with a yellow light source. Don't forge to adjust for this.
