Tryin' Somethin new

My last photo shoot was of the Brewer family, it went pretty well, but I had some problems with harsh sunlight and scattered shadows from trees at the park. Do any photographers have advice on how to deal with this?

anyways, not the point, the point is, I took 4 pictures and decided to play with them in a graphic way. In my head it looked a lot better, but I thought I would share since I haven't really done anything like this before and I would like to do it more.

The actual post for the shoot will come soon, I've procrastinated it way to long haha.
