Nice well exposed images. The second is my favorite with that natural rim light. The only critique I can give is in #5, you cut off the little girls foot. Great set!

Not too bad for lighting, exposure and framing but I wonder about the need for the sign in 2 of the photos (they know who they are and it just looks out of place). I also question the pose where the girl is on the bench alone....looks like her parents are pushing down on her head!...too bad because the 2 parents turned out good in this shot.

...i like the catch lights on their hair in the second photo but he is stepping on one of those cut outs the daughter is playing with! just my opinion, so don't take my observation too seriously!

I like them, and I can imagine the family is happy.
I dont know if it's just me but the chalk board had me stop for a minute and read it closely b/c I expected it to say they were expecting. For some reason I associate that with "baby on the way"
But that's all, I dont think it's a deal breaker on the images by any means!
You did a good job.

Yea, ever since I've put my photos on POTN for critiquing, I've made a conscious effort to not cut off any body parts. It's something I've been told of and I've gotten better and better at it.

Yea I love the baby's expression and the parent's look happy, but that photo is the best of the bunch we took by that park bench. Before that pic, she was crying and being fussy until she finally started laughing and I caught the moment. Yea I guess the sign was unnecessary but I've always wanted to coordinate props in my photos. I've seen pros do it

Wow, I honestly didn't notice that until you pointed that out lol. I'll go back and edit that out. Thanks!

Yea I know what you mean. I guess the chalkboard was unnecessary but I thought it'd be nice to have it in at least one family shot.

I think they're all pretty good. My only critique would be with the last one. Looks like you were trying to darken the sky and the mask is showing through. Although i may be wrong...

Excellent photos, #3 is my favorite.
