Great thanks! I am really trying to improve my skills.They all look great! Makes it hard to choose!
If I had to choose, it would be #3...again, great shots!
they seem just a tad soft to me.. especially #1. why did you use f/1.8 if you had good lighting and a speedlight? the 50mm tends to be a little soft wide open. if you have good lighting, try it at f/4 or f/5.6, it should be sharper at that aperture.
for me, #3 is the best of the group, baby is looking at camera, great expression, holding the ornament out. #2 is a tosser except as a random snapshot. in #1 the OOF ornaments are distracting, the pics with them in focus are much better.

My guess is so she could get decent bokeh with the lights. Op I like #3
I will try it. I also dont like the soft look, and I feel like all my photos have it!If you want bokeh at the expense of sharp pictures, ok. You would still get bokeh a stop or two down, but also get a sharper image. If you and the family are happy with the results than that's all that matters. I dont like the "soft" look so for me, i wouldn't be happy.

I usually shoot in f/1.8. I photograph my son alot indoors, so I needed that. Now that I have my speedlight I will use a smaller f-stop. I use one focal point then re-composition. Not snarky at all, I'm open to criticism.I will try it. I also dont like the soft look, and I feel like all my photos have it!
I'm sincerely not saying this in a snarky way but do you shoot real wide a lot because often that leads to soft images/ missed focus? Stop that puppy down a little. Are you using single point focus on the eyes? Do you have a UV filter on the lens? Your focus in the 3rd image is on the ornament and given your f/ stop and distance you only have about 1-2 inches of focus.
