Friday I got off work early and decided to go take some pictures, well it was kind of planned. The secretary wanted me to take some pictures of her daughters so I used it has an excuse to take some of my clean truck as well.
The first 2 are of the daughters. Kind of trying some new stuff with my camera.
Hope you enjoy them and feel free to give me any pointers you may have for better photographs
This is the youngest

Did you use a tripod? The photos of the girls look like they have the shakes. Also, double check the white balance. The first looks to orange and the second to blue. The pearls have a blue color to them.

The first two photos do look very fuzzy, a tripod would help or make sure the autofocus is pointed at where the subject is placed. It also looks like you took the photo from standing very far away, for portraits, don't be afraid to get up close. It looks like it was nearing sunset, so another lightsource, lamp/flash would have helped since the sunlight is behind the girls leaving their faces darker than the background.

Truck + sunset is probably the best out of the series. The reflection of the sunset off the truck is choice.

The last photo (both sisters together) is very sharp but unfortunately it's backfocused (tree branches behind is in focus). For shot like this, i would select center focus point, if the camera allows it, instead of all focus points.
You could try some fill flash next time in this type of situation.

You may want to pay a little more attention to your backgrounds. All the pictures of the girls have branches ot trunks coming from their heads.
I agree with everyone else that the pictures of the girls is fuzzy. Tripod would have helped.
Best one is the sunset on the truck, that is a keeper.
