So, a little over a year ago, I posted some shots from this photo shoot and asked for feedback:

I was basically told that I needed a lot of work, particularly on understanding the fundamentals of light. My first reaction was that you all were crazy! I mean, come on, I was better than half the Facebook photographers out there, why are you all being so mean to me??
But I listened, practiced, read books, and submitted more for critique. Then, about a year later, the same family asked me to photograph them again. So here's the same little girl:

As it turns out, you guys were right. Of course, I still need a lot of work, but I can see a huge difference in my photography and especially in my consistency in getting good shots. Can't wait to see what the next year of practicing and critiquing brings! Thank you all for your advice and guidance. And as always, comments and critique are welcome.
