Simple, fresh and natural. I like these. In a perfect world you would have had her head hiding the plaque on the bench. Love #2, messy hair and all.

Cute! Totally agree on #2. Great, natural looking shots.

Very refreshing.. nice. Like #2 and #3. Love the colors in #3.

Small nitpick - looking up nose is little discomforting in #3.

Any pointers on how to pose for "shoot up" shots? Thanks.

I do it sometimes, even though I know it is against the 'rules'.

It is better to avoid, but if you like the 'look', you can move far away and use longer focal length, which will make it less apparent.

#2 is my favorite, laid back, carefree and easy going.
