I would love some feedback. Still learning. Where can I improve and/or what should I not do. Thanks.

#1 is always a classic pose. I usually try to have the light coming from the same end as their head, in this one that would be camera left, you get a little more separation of the head and the background. I generally stick with soft simple light on babies, and usually soften the skin a bit in post but keep it simple.

#2 Pictures from above are always tough, it's hard to get an interesting view in my opinion. I try to keep the camera at the same perspective as the child. Often times I'll put the baby in the basket/blanket up on a folding card table to make it easier to get that perspective (mom and/or dad positioned to pose/catch).

I can't comment on color or exposure as this monitor I am on is terrible anyway so it's hard to say. But I think you're off to a good start.

A GREAT book to checkout is
Sleeping Beauties: Newborns in Dreamland
