Some fall pics of my Daughter....thoughts?

I already know about the cropping....it is so hard to get her to sit still long enough (she is 2) i place her hands a certain way and by the time I snap and get the exact look I want hands/feet/fingers are elsewhere! But any other feedback would be great!

I photograph children for a living and as such, suggest that with active children of that age, you may be better served looking for great emotive moments, rather than getting her to pose. Also note how she draws her head into her shoulders when she is asked to sit still....can be avoided by being a little more candid.

That said - (providing you are happy with your processing, which I personally find overly done and not suitable for child photos) I think #s 4&7 are rather nice (if cropped a little tight). You have a lovely daughter.

I agree i wish the processing was more natural. 7 is my fav from the set. I think it would have been better to get a different perspective for #2 set. I think that if you were down closure to the ground the perspective would have been better.
