TPF meet Briana and Iliana. I am building a portrait portfolio and these sisters were my first official victims...err...subjects.

Don't hold back. Be honest and do not sugar coat it. I take constructive criticism well. Thanks.

I like these a lot...Good personalities and expressions...I really like the composition on 2 just maybe a little tighter crop. Lighting, color, and processing look great too.

The shots are great, and the kids are cute and full of personality. Although the baby scares me a little when she doesn't smile ... don't tick her off or she'll get you!

Sonny these are great!!! I think you did awesome!

nitpicks: the vignettes are a little strong, IMO, but that's my taste.

my favorites are #6 and #3 :)

Love these images, especially #2 - love how you've framed her with vertical and horizontal lines - she's all wiggly and contrasts strongly with the formal grid of lines behind her. Nicely done!

These are great! I love #3....and, my only cc on that one is to get rid of the person or whatever that is in the background.

I too like #'s 2 and 3. I had to look at #3 fior a bit though. She almost gets lost in #3 with all the green busyness around her. But at the same time, the red dress helps bring the focus to the center of the picture and her.
