Photos 2 and 3 seem a little average to me, but 6 and 7 make up for it.

A very nice set; I think I would have skipped the blanket in #3 and just had them laying directly on the leaves.

Yeah your correct 2. was a shot that i cropped from a bigger shot it made the oof more noticible but I liked the composition and the clients didnt mind the softer look. On number6. I wanted their faces to be slightly oof to give the image a bit of a dreamy look to it. Thanks for the comments!

Definitely loving #7 and I like the pumpkin in #4 but it doesn't quite go together with the background to me. I think it might be more fitting to have the pumpkin in some of the outside pics. Looks like you got some good shots for them!!

Have to agree that #7 is my favorite as well. Everything about that picture was done real nicely. The guy reminds me of a cross between and young Elvis and James Dean in that picture.
