I'm constantly learning and refining what I do. I've received a lot of good advice from professionals and I hope that if you see something that will help me improve that you'll add your comments! Thank you!

Hi Chris,
welcome to Dgrin!
1.
Nice even lighting
Decent b/g
Good framing
Her dress clashes with th b/g and is too bright/spotty, thus drawing attention from her eyes/face
She looks like a gal on a plus side, the pose and vantage point are not ideal. You should have probably ask her to bring her shoulder back and extend her neck more (not comfortable, but doable), while at the same time probably choosing even a higher vantage point for yourself.
:cry A subtle smile (even if eyes only) would definitely help

2.
Good pose/expression
Love the lighting
Good bokeh
Image looks a bit flat/bland
The sunspot on the b/g is a minor distraction
Too much of negative space above his head to my taste
:cry Cutting a limb at a joint is considered a technical no-no

HTH

The last one look much better then the first one. You have to be careful while using a vignette - it makes the skin looks really bad (look at her arm) I am sure that the photos would look much better without the vignette effect. But maybe I am wrong - it is just my opinion. The third photo has just adorable subject with amazing smile. Good work.
