Took these of my friends daughter the other day. Any comments would be great, always looking to improve.

Good start. To improve I would say to use a larger aperture to get the background more blurred. Plus use flash as a fill light.

Other than that pretty good. Its always hard taking photos when there is lots of harsh sun around.

I tried to show what I meant in this edit if you don't mind. I lost the skin tone in the face a bit though.

Yikes, don't care for the edits done by Fadetoblack22, looks like she's healing after a bad sunburn. But, he did have good advice.

The original shots are much better. Love the natural smile on shot 2. I always avoid blotchy sun/shade spots for portraits.

Thanks for the comment. we were just trying to get some cute shots before the weather turned bad. Lots of rain in the northwest. I need to find a park with more shade next time.
