Are these harsh shadows on the faces ok? If not, how do I fix them? Feel free to leave any additional feedback/suggestions.

If your happy. Personally I wouldn't hang or frame it. I think a fill flash as a mim. Would have help this photo. As a snap shot for a photo album OK.

They aren't.
Dappled light is not flattering at all.
Get a book (from Amazon cheap) called "Shooting in SH&%Y light"
It talks about the common light issues and how to solve them, dappled light being one of them.
PS: Get into the habit of "fixing" by doing things at the camera and not fall into the trap of thinking "fix it after in post"...you'll be ahead of the game if you think that way consistently.

I would have faced them the other way. The lighting is on they backs. But a family keeper.

We can't always order up perfect light, can we. I usually introduce fill flash either external on camera or off camera fill flash. You could also had someone hold a reflector to bounce some fill light in and clone out the arm holding the reflector in post. The latter depends how far your subjects are from the camera.

If you are asking it probably is. Lots of great suggestions here on how to avoid it in the future and there are ways of improving it with Photoshop or Elements.
