Even with the scan you may notice even more of this coloring effect, with help from Sandra's photoshop.

My advice is to find a child model to pose for you under a similar shade, and take new photos to add to the references you'll be working with, besides using what has been provided.

I'm sure the new references will be able to provide deeper insights to the light and shade of the children's faces in the shade.

GREAT idea!

Thanks!!
