#'s 2 & 4 are my favorites, very nice, maybe just a touch shallower DOF. #2 could also use a little more pop, maybe more contrast or saturation. But as far as poses go I like them.
I like the attempted composition of #1, I would turn your daughter a little more towards the camera so she doesn't look squished.
On #3, good idea again, but I think you need to be shooting more directly down on them, I don't find the angle flattering
The angle on #5 bugs me
I do like the last pic you posted, I like the nice tight crop, her eyes are the focus of the shot so I dont mind cutting off her head. I also like the angle it was shot from, its different than I am used to seeing (might have to steal it) Its got a seductiveness to it IMO.
Good work, keep shooting and playing around with different poses. One thing I have had success with when shooting 2 or more people together is not so much posing them but putting them in a general position and then shoot the interaction between them.

I see you are working on the compo. This is much better than your senior shots. http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=93101
Try to get tighter (closer headshot). Change it up. It is OK to crop some of the head.

Thank you.
I tried the closer head shots too just wasn't sure about cutting part of the her head out.
RE:#5
The bright sunlight was making her eyes water, I had my son hold a diffuser to help out a bit.

The last one is maybe a bit too close up / not very flattering, but that might be just my opinion
Well done

WB is a little off in a few, but still nice shots.

I agree. Or, shoot them with the shade color balance.

I also noticed you are in the Phoenix area by ID'ing the rail bridges in Tempe.
If you need a photog to capture you in action on your next 4x adventure let me know.
