they are gorgous

The lighting and composition are nice, and it may be caused by the very low quality that these have been reduced to, but I see a lot of WB issues, and they all appear soft.

@tirediron, how do I fix the WB issues? In regards to the soft apperance, I don't really know why they look soft after uploding them on here. They are not the original files but rather the files I uploaded onto facebook. It seemed easier to upload that way (since I'm at work)...but anyways, the original files do seem a lot more clear and in fact, I am able to see his facial hair and eyelashes...on the ones here you can't really tell. Thanks for your CC.

Did you sharpen for web?I think they are great! Only thing is the lighting is a bit flat. Where was your lighting in regards to the baby. Was is right in front? Best to angle the light for nice shadows on the face.

Load the original files into Lightroom, or whichever RAW editor you use and adjust the WB so that the the skin tone, espcially in the first couple, are more real.

I really love these! Good job on your first nb session. My only suggestion is that if I was the client I would have wanted more variety in the poses. Maybe one of the side of him laying down? Anyways that is my only critique. I just thought they were all almost the same picture... Super job though! Keep up the awesome work!

The last one is my favorite, although to me it's looking a little blown out (might be my screen), and the childs hand is a bit blurry. The newborn pictures look good other than the WB that someone else mentioned on the first one.

failbook sharpens photos...they suck...I've never ever asked them to do that for me, yet every photo I upload there gets sharpened...when I take a soft photo...bring it into photoshop to sharpen it a little...and then upload to failbook...it sharpens it on top of my already "sharpened" photo and just completely ruins it...

Perhaps the OP should try a large and intrusive watermark on their photos..
