Which set-up has the best light??




I'm doing some sample portraits of my kids to establish a style of painting that I can offer to clients. I shot the photos in three different scenarios, 2 outdoors and one indoors. Please evaluate these in terms of lighting and color as I will reshoot for better expressions.

My one big hesitation about offering outdoor shots is that we live in Seattle, and to try to coordinate a shoot when the sun was out would almost be impossible during the winter months. Would it work to shoot indoors and paint outdoor greenery for the background??

Photo #1 --shot indoors near a window
Photo #2 --shot outdoors with evening sun
Photo #3 --shot outdoors with strong morning sun. Why did this shot turn out so flat in the shadows and blown out in the highlights?? Did I have the camera set wrong?

Any experience on this is deeply appreciated.
