Very nice collection. To improve 1 & 2 watch out for "racoon eyes" ( dark eye sockets). Put a reflector under to kick some light back up into them. 3 is a cute capture. On 4 add or dodge some light into the face to bring it out more. Your did a great job in rim lighting him. With those corrections I would have a large size hanging on your wall.
On that last shot a reflector leaning against the front of you would have opened the shadows nicely. The sun was at the perfect angle.
A reflector can be anything from a purpose-designed one to a piece of card, to a white sheet on the ground. Even light concrete acts as a reflector if you set things up to make it so!
These are just lovely - you have a beautiful eye for light, your depth of field choices are compelling, and that's a really cute kid!!
I think these are terrific, especially the first two. As previously stated, lighten the eyes a little, and they're perfect! I love how his eyes draw you in.

I took these outside with available light. I'll look into picking up a reflector.

Just to support that it can be - literally - anything.
