Kate,
These are both terrific. . .especially the bottom shot of the little girl. The one of the little guy is good, but the lighting is a bit dim and flat. . I think you could bring it up a little in ps. But the shot of the girl is excellent,imo. It has a sense of moment, and feel composition and framing right on. . .and the contrast and lighting here is very good. Excellent There is another photographer on this forum (Natabeach) who is also a ( Mom with a camera) and does these type of kid and people shots very well too. She would love to comment on your work but have not seen her on lately
Well Done . . .

#2 is a gem. The eyes just leap out at you. #1 is okay, but the downturned face (so you can't see the eyes) and the drool (even though babies drool) kind ruins it.

Number two is the winner !! by a mile. Print and hang it on the wall. She is georgeous !!!
