If you reshoot, pick a time when the children are not tired or hungry or just returning from any physically invigorating activity. Ask the Mom what time of day or which day of the week would be the best in this regard. Make sure they haven't recently been fed anything containing sugar. Set up or choose your lighting in advance of calling in the children to pose. Use the mother or a stand-in for this purpose. Each time you return to photograph the children they'ill get more used to you and be less apt to be overstimulated. It make take several reshoots. Once you get a composition you like, you can return and shoot each child separately for refinement, assuming they're not intertwined physically. If you want to bag the big game you need to be patient. And definitely learn photoshop. All of the above worked for me in the portrait I did of Andrew and Dusty.
