Linda, love your images, especially the one of the kids with the rocking chair!
I like your idea of having the kids somewhat physically separated from each other. When I've done portraits with more than one subject I've always had them intertwined somewhat, which makes for a very difficult time for posing and cobbling things together later. It's nice to show an interactive relationship with the figures interlocked but as I can see from your examples, it's sometimes better to keep things simple and have them posed apart from each other.
I have a portrait of a family of four coming up later this year. Maybe I'll take this approach!
