Well, my wife's cousin's wife asked me to take some photos of their daughter for her 1st birthday.

Let me know what you think.

They're all very cute, but #1 and #4 are my favorites. Well done!

They are all great - but I love #1. What was your setup?

very ghetto.

just a redish/pink sheet over a white sheet that was used to hide shadows. both were hung in front of a patio door. used the sunlight for backlight. had to lamps, one on each side and used my 430ex.

they are all very cute. Lighting can be improved a little. its a little harsh, and I even though I see two catch lights, it looks like a single light source, probably because your fill light was underpowered a little. Shadows a little harsh.
However, the model, expression, and their captures really make this wonderful images. I especially like 1 (light seems best on that one) except you missed the focus on the eyes.

I love the first shot, did you do any PP on these? Since you have image editing OK I did the following:

lightened the eyes and the whites of the eye and sharpened them selectively. I also adjusted levels a pinch which brightened the overall image.
