While still keeping the forest feeling lively, I had the family stay in a shaded area, both to keep their features soft, as well as to limit the colors of the forest from overpowering them. I made sure to follow along with the child to gain the most natural, happy photos possible. I edited the photos with a higher vibrancy and saturation to really make the family as well as the background come to life. I also raised the warmth slightly to give them that warm and inviting feel they were looking for. I normally love vingettes, however, I felt in this case it would take away from the background they wanted. Without, the family feels more one with nature.
