Hi Denise,


I like the 2nd, 5th, and6th the best. Your little Model looks adorable. I think the lighting looks wonderful. I like her hair and wardrobe as well. I also like the playfulness of the poses. I think filling the frame is nice, but be careful about shooting too tightly. I would also try to avoid perfect centering in the frame if possible, however I don't do portraits, so I'm not sure if this is standard or not.


The last tip is for your little super model. I know she is young, but see if you could teach her to connect with the camera and look right through the lens without squinting, and into your eyes, just like the camera wasn't even there. I think she is looking up too much, I'm not sure if someone was distracting her behind you, if so, then have that person get lower. If you want some posed candids then have her look straight out slightly to the left or right instead of upwards, as I feel that looks more natural, but that's just my opinion. I like #5 the best, because her eyes are looking through the lens and connecting with the viewer. I think #6 is the prettiest though.
