Great choice of F-stop, you will notice a difference with these photos and lots of your old ones. when you use a 1.4 you might only get there eyes, and from an artistic stand point that is fine, but if you are shooting these for some friends its better to do what you are doing here. This is what they want, clear, well composed well lit shots. f 4,.5 might be the highest f-stop ive seen you use on a portrait. Notice even joshes ears are in focus.
This and the one of Loren are your best out of the group. Who ever this is im sure his parents would love a copy. Good lighting and composition. Needs just a little post processing.
Be careful about your distance, This is a clear shot and great expression but would not work in a frame, well not as good as if you were backed up a bit. Remember when shooting to allow room for frame cropping.
On something like this, and any time you are shooting out side in sun, try over exposing 1 stop or less. The meter wants to give you an even exposure and there is a ton of brightness given the sun and snow. So you are just urging it to expose more for the shadows.
This ones a great shot. Doesn't need post work. Great for a frame, don't have any negative things to say about it. Good job.
One global issue I see with these shots is a ISO of 200. You don't need it. Always when you can, use the lowest ISO possible. I would not call this a rule breaker but its a question of seeking out the best quality possible.

These are probably some of your best portraits yet. No rules broken good choice of F-stop per subject. There are some issues but I will comment on them individually in the post itself.
