Playing with a few things. Quick shoot with my six year old in the backyard.

The natural light is really nice. I like the first one and third one. The third is my favorite.

I really like the natural light as well.. All of them are very nicely done.

Nice sharp focus on the eyes in all three shots. Good job there.

Some nits and observations:
I'm not fond of the knees in #1. In #3 we see more of them, so it seems better.

I'm not real happy with the light on the face in #1 and #2. I see the circle under her left eye accentuated and light hitting part but not all of her face.

#3 is my pick of this set, based mostly on her expression, camera angle (a little higher) and because you have 'stepped back' a bit more for that one. We see her posture is better in #3. (Note the slope of the shoulders).

Overall well done. Post some more, she's a good model.

The light is fantastic, IMO. You MAY have done even slightly better with a white reflector on her. Love the breeze moving her hair, the bright blue eyes, and connection with the camera.

It does appear, mostly in 2 and 3, that her shirt is reflecting off of her face just a tad. Not sure there's anything to be done about it or that it even matters but after scanning the images several times for things which may be improved, that was something I saw.

3 is my favorite. If it were my image and I were processing to my taste, I'd probably do a few minor things in LR. 1) Add add a local adjustment brush and select her face and neck and chest and add about 1/3 of a stop of exposure. 2) I'd add a vignette (maybe around -20). 3) And then I'd go to "camera calibration" on the bottom panel and add about +20-ish to the "Blue Primary" saturation slider.

Overall, these are VERY minor and just some things that I saw trying to look at your image and develop my own eye a little better. I think if left as-is, they're STUNNING and you've really done a great job!!! Can't wait until my little girl (who's 2.5) is willing to sit still for a few seconds to let me fire off a few frames!!

Great shots. The light is kinda bland, flat and uninteresting. The brighter background does not help these images either. I do think a reflector would have helped. But still, these are really nice shots.

Great feedback, everyone. And certainly appreciated!

I do need to invest in a reflector, and when I sit down with her next time, I'll give a bit more thought to the position of her knees, as well as her dress color. I can definitely see that her chin is being lit up by the orange color of the dress.

Invest in a reflector? Go down the local crafts shop and get you a 2' x 4' piece of white foam core, done.

These are nicely done.

Beautiful young lady and I agree with the comments on the light and obtaining a reflector. As noted by others 1 and 3 are my favorites and with a tad bit of post processing these would be superb. A small smile on the pretty face would have be really nice. She is a heart breaker!
