These are my kiddos.... and I forced them to model for me, although, my daughter didn't need much convincing. lol I am super happy with these, feel free to share tips or advice.

Forgive the FB compression:

Spend more time on your framing. There are a few clipping issues.

Agree! ^^ Also, bringing an OCF would have helped you balance subject and background exposure to avoid the blown skies.

LOL Thanks.. did I do anything right?

You did lots right; good expressions, decent exposure, but, there's always room for improvement, right?

Oh, ABSOLUTELY. I appreciate both compliment and criticism!

Thank you! I think I just needed a bit of reassurance. The framing is something I'll definitely spend a bit more time on next time, I definitely see my faults there. The blown out skies are something I am still struggling with for sure.

Thanks again for both comments...
