The crop on the mom might be too tight. You've lobbed off part of her head. The whole thing feels just a bit claustrophobic to me, like it needs a little more empty space around them.

Not sure if it's makeup, shadow, or new motherhood, but there's a darkness under the mom's eyes that seems kind of distracting without knowing what it is. If it's a lighting thing, then a reflector or fill flash might help even that out.
