John, these are fabulous! First off, I cannot believe how much they have grown in such a short amount of time since their last photos! Secondly, I think you can erase the "amateur" from your bio ...these are VERY professional looking!

Nice photos James:) I couldn't tell you just started. They look pretty good. You like to play with the vibrance/saturation sliders don't you? :DI rarely like shots that are B+W with a few colored items, but I like the ladybug-shot.
James, Killer job on these and for a noob in Portrait Photography ---well, lets just say you have the knack and I am envious. I could see parents paying a lot of money for shots like these.
The first shot---Love it, what a smile you captured on this little girl and the mix and vividness of the colors are outstanding, the only critique I can offer is maybe tighten up on the crop just a little, but not too much--you still want to keep much of the tree and leaves in the pic.
Second Shot: Perfect don't touch it. Very sharp face with the leaves in action and again gorgeous colors and great crop.
Third Shot: Love the way you did the black and white with the ladybug in color and I really like this crop as well. I also like the ladybug being the focal point----it just works----Frame this one.
Last shot----Great framing, back ground and pose---and of course, wonderful subject with a another great smile. The only comment I have for this one is the lighting is a little harsh and appears that it was camera mounted; try practicing with your flash off camera or bouncing it of the wall or cieling.
Again, Great series and beautiful model---very, very nice work.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments. Bob, the last shot, I agree with you, unfortunatley that day she wasn't co-operating as much as she was in the first set of photos. I want to buy a speed light so that I can bounce the light off of the ceiling. I just purchased a 7-in-1 light reflector as well which I'm looking forward to trying. I normally don't like B&W shots for portraits however I thougt it'd be neat to focas on the lady bug.
Really nice series of portraits James and welcome aboard.
