My first time out and I am not feeling so good about these pics, but thought I would post a few any way. "No such thing as failure; just learning." I hope so. Happy to receive your CC but please don't be too hard on me.

Josh - good 1st try. I like the styling of the blue shirts. The light looks nice The first one is very cute with the bear. I like the silhouette too.
#4 she dosen't have a good expresssion and #5 I would not show her - it's not too flattering. She looks a bit - pardon the expression - like a beached whale. She has eyeglass glare in a few of these. When I first started shooting headshots' and portraits they were my nemisis but if you get accustomed to looking for them while you are shooting, you can tilt the glasses or angle the head.
You might ask about smoothing or softening the strechmarks - some women want to see them and others don't.

Once that's nailed down, then it's a matter of the background, backdrop, surroundings....then.....lighting to create or capture that mood. Oftentimes we have to do a bit of it in post processing to "finish" it off.
A great in this industry is Sandy Puc. Do a google search for some ideas as it will be an eye opener. BTW..I like the idea of #2 real well. Good job.
