Your advice is appreciated!

Like others here, I am not sure the sepia effect works on these photos, to my taste. But far more importantly, what did the family want and what did they think of the photos. Maybe you were capturing just what they wanted.

To the advice to shoot without filters, in colour, and add effects like sepia toning in PP, add my +1. You can always take the colour out in PP, but you can't put it back if the original is missing this data.
