Welcome to the Forums, Heather, I'm sure you'll have a great time here

As for your portraits of your lovely family, I'm not really a portrait expert but it seems your skys and fencing are blown and are appearing just bright white. Perhaps some fill in flash would help lift the faces and give a more ambient background exposure?
I must say though you've really captured a great moment in the second shot, real fun

First off let me say welcome to POTN and that your kids (my assumption) are adorable.
#1The sun blows out the backround and you caught the edge of your husbands hat in the pic.
#2 & #3 The whites are blown out again. Try shooting during sunrise or sunset so you dont get such harsh lighting.

I am by no means an expert, those are just my opinions. Not too bad for a second shoot in M. Cant wait to see more shots of yours.

LOL! love the crusted snot on the nose LOL! pretty pictures though.. and welcome to POTN
