These are lovely photos. I prefer number one--great expressions, saturation, etc. Just spot on.

Number 2 is also very nice, though the contrast could use a boost for my taste.

Don't care for number 3, mostly because of Dad's grooming. . . . Which has nothing to do with your photography. Perhaps a shave and a ponytail?

Nice looking family! I think the crop is a little tight on the first and third. Otherwise, these have nice color and diffuse light.

I love the first shot
Agree that 2nd can use just a bit of contrast.
Third, not so much, i can't point what exactly it is, i think it has something to do with 3 people on the picture have completely different lighting. It looks like they don't belong on the same shot.
Lady's face looks very dark and plasticky compare to the baby and a man in the same shot.

Overall, nice portraits.

Good Stuff

3rd the background is half dark half light, so it makes it feel a bit cornered. Looks like baby might have moved a bit as there is a little fuzz (so maybe faster shutter next time). Thanks for sharing!

Judging it based solely on the expression of the child - number one is the winner. The baby has kind of a detached expression in the other two. There is also a bit too much of the "misty lighting" effect on the male subject in number three.

I might also suggest some shots taken in the landscape orientation with the subjects maybe a bit more off center in the frame.
