New photographer looking for comments

I have been doing photography since my freshman year in high school. I did my own senior pictures. I have recently wanted to start up a business but wanted to know how people liked my work. I shot with a Canon Powershot SX120 Is. just recently got this camera, still learning all the tricks of the camera. I did just have an Olympus stylus and thats what i started out on.







here is a link to my web site and facebook that has more images.

Both pictures have lighting problems. You can see the hot spots on the white of the santa hat, as well as the baby's legs being in a totally different light. I'm going to assume you used your basic flash and auto setting?

The woman in the second photo appears to be OOF to me. Again, auto? The white balance seems off. You're working with a point and shoot though. Sooo... yah.
