Awesome! A little too much lens flare for me (which I never thought I would say! I love lens flare!) in the overall set, but the pictures are lovely. These are sisters, I am assuming?

Thanks! They're not technically sisters however one might call them that. They're very close friends. Yeah there are more shots without flare in them in the set however it was a particular goal of mine during this shoot to try and get a lot of lens flare.

Reminds me of a Steven Spielberg or JJ Abrams lens flare inclusions which I actually dig.

In my opinion, there is not neraly enough contrast in these images. It looks like you shot them against the sun, and then when crazy with the Fill Light slider and pulled the shadows way out of the dark. Also, lens flare really reduces contrast to begin with. A lot of colors have a muted gray look to them, and and picture over all look a strange mix of really flat, but with some slightly nuclear colors. Almost like poorly processed HDRs. DOn't be afraid to let things stay dark in your images; or rather than relying on heavy use of contrast manipulation in post, use a reflector or off camera flash to get some light on them in the first place. The moments are nice, except the 2nd one feels a bit straight faced and center punched to me.

Thanks for the critique; I recognize what you're saying and I agree with you.. How do you feel about this look:

That last one is way better in my opinion.
