Need fill light on the left side of their faces I think.

I think it's a bit strong. But I'm a fan of very bright. I'd say a reflector might have helped as well, but I'm just learning lighting. And barely into it so far, so I'm probably not the best to ask.

The image is excessively contrasty; her cheek is burned out on the key light side, and the shadow side is plugged up. I'm not so sure that it is "the light", per se, that is too harsh; what I mean by that is this-- it looks to me like the original in-camera exposure, and the image processing (tone curve AKA contrast curve AKA curve) is too harsh.
