A Cir-Polarizer should solve the reflection issues

A tip for shooting subjects wearing glasses. Have the person wear the glasses higher upon their ears than they normally would thus tilting the plane of the glass from perpendicular to the light source thereby reducing reflection.

Thank you for that! This is my first shoot with a glasses wearer, didn't think about the glare.

Overall the picture has some other problems though. The subjects are all looking in different directions. Also, the wrinkles in the backdrop are clearly visible and should be smoothed out. Anyway, it's not what you were asking about, but thought I'd put in my 2 cents.

Circ-Polarizer works great for doing that, but you need to compensate exposure accordingly.

In the 'fixed' image, the mother's eyes just don't look right to me. They appear to be looking in slightly (but enough to be disturbing to me) different directions.

Was this the best picture you have to work with?

I mean absolutely no offense here, but I see so many problems with this picture. The guys shirt is unbuttoned around his belly (not on purpose.) Also he seems agitated by his expression. As I said before, the background is distracting due to the wrinkles and vertical lines extending above the wicker box. Overall the pose isn't very "slimming" or flattering either to either the man or woman. To correct this, you could shoot them from above to draw attention away from their midsections.

In any case, I'm learning too and am glad that you had to courage to post your work here and let us help and critique it. That way we all get better.
