Not bad. Lighting looks fine for the most part. Try to move your subject(s) further away from the backdrop to give more separation between the two.

careful with your choice of lenses. the first is obviously taken with a somewhat wide angle which makes your daughters feet look huge.

I have a studio that is about the same size and I get some really good shots in that little space. I do a lot of just head shots although I have done a group shot with 8 ppl in there too! Lighting looks good to me. I use a lot of black and white backgrounds in my little studio as they are easy to "blow out" and also remove wrinkles in PP. When doing a multiple person shot such as the first one be careful not to let the person closest to the flash cast a shadow on the other one....you have just a bit of this going on in the first shot. Not a bad session though! You can easily build on these. Keep on shooting!

One word: Shoes :D

Kidding aside:
The feet in 1. offer nothing for the shot IMHO. I would have shot that tighter and made it a head/torso type shot. Also, the rear face has a big old shadow on it from the front. Light it more from the side maybe?

2. is good though I agree on moving the girls a bit further from the background. And symmetrical hand posing would have been nice.

The lighting in 3 seems a bit flat to me and the posing could have been improved easily (plant her right foot and un-knot the hands :) ).

Great looking kiddos though and a good start on the photos!
