Skin Tone question...before I process a whole load of 'em!

Just taken this in a studio session. My monitor is calibrated, but I am having a hard time deciding on the skin tone of this little lad.
His dad is Zimbabwean, and his mum white british.

Do you think this skin looks too red? Or something else? I have 100+ shots of this little fella to process so I want to know now before I do it.

    Hmmm, yeah...I thought that.


    Just for comparison (again, I know you haven't seen these people in the flesh) here are the parents with the boy...

    For a quick fix if you shot these in Raw set the temp to 5200 then drop your saturation or find the red slider and an just that to liking.

    Thanks. Yes, I can do that. I just realised that in the first on the lad is on the sheepskin which is sat on top of a red beanbag, but not covering it so that's where the extra red is coming from in my opinion. I don't think it's as noticable on the images where he is nowhere near the beanbag.
