This is my fave of the bunch. Interestingly, I'm not sure if Brenda is suggesting that you've stuck to the rule of 3rds so break away from that or that you need to stick to the rule of thirds. I do think each of your photos does follow the rule of thirds, perhaps too much in terms of symmetry. This shot really works because it is casual, as the shoot is intended to be, not overposed, and it's composed well with a background that is detailed but not distracting. My one overall suggestion is related to the overall shoot & casual photography in general...my one "cardinal rule" is "make the subject forget you're there"...have them take advantage of the nature that's there, 'just be themselves' and catch your great shots as they do that.
Sweet. After reviewing the last few pictures, I want to share a pattern I noticed in all of them. They can be bisected between the two girls. I don't think there's anything wrong with this since you have two subjects, but I'd also like to see you experiment with the rule of thirds in your future sessions.
