Not really sure how this is a Christmas portrait.
If your card reader is still having issues, I certainly would not start booking clients.
Are you set up, business license wise, tax wise, insurance, etc. to be advertising for clients?
As for the portrait, it's almost there. The younger kid's right arm looks awkward. The lighting, as you mentioned, is blown out because you botched the ISO. I'm not sure what's going on with the color, but it definitely does not say Christmas to me. It's a "sort of" sepia, but if you're going to go sepia, you need to do it to the entire photo, not just their faces, or it just looks odd. This photo works well as a black and white.
I do like the brotherly love that's coming across in their expressions.
