Alrighty, I need you to all be HONEST!! How are these pictures, sooc and fixed. Give it to me, I can take it! I did a custom white balance (I measured my white backdrop), to try and get better skin tones. How are they? Thanks again for all your help!

And here are a few that we took just for fun. I bought 2 bags of conversation hearts and didn't find one that said I love you, so we had to write one ourselves.
Thanks again for looking! Happy Saturday!

Those are too cute! Love the little heart with the hands! And they are adorable little girls!
What beautiful girls! And your captures are great too!
Love your photos and the liitle girls are precious.
I think they are wonderful, I would brighten a tad but that is me... Love that last print. Very clever
These are great! Your edits look lovely, what a couple of cuties! Their daddy is going to LOVE these! :)
Those kids have some killer eyes! I think your edits look good.
PS- in my blog post, I used my external flash bounced upward and behind me at the top of the wall/corner where the wall & ceiling meet. Thanks for the nice comments on my lighting! It was already dark outside so I had no choice but to use the flash- I'm trying to use it more so I can be more comfortable with it. :)
Wow Becky you are doing so great!!!! I wish I knew how to critique photography but I have no idea how!
These are adorable! Love the heart, will have to try that.
I think your pictures look great - you have done a nice job catching their beautiful eyes. I love hearts, too.
Absolutely love the third picture - hands forming a heart! They are all wonderful. I don't know how to cc photos, but I do know what I like, and these I like.
Great photos! Love the one with the heart hand!
I think you did a great job! these look Awesome!!
BEAUTIFUL...love the conversation hearts!
I think your edits look very good! (I'm not an expert, but I do like them as a viewer!) And I LOVE the last two pictures, I'm sure their dad will love them too!
I'm on the same bandwagon...I'm not good enough to cc, however I *heart* the last two pics!!
That last shot is so cute! Well you actually did a great job on all of them of course, but I love that setup.
These are absolutely beautiful! I'm in love with the same lens! I like your edits. . . it adds very nice contrast. And I really appreciate that you post your settings. . . I'm just learning, particularly about skin tones, so take this all with a grain of salt. I also have an uncalibrated monitor. . . Could you share how you processed your images? I have a Nikon camera. . . and have read that with Nikon, you "try to tame the wild color", whereas with Canon, you sometimes have to boost color. I really like your SOOC skin tones, perhaps with a bit of brightening, and then contast, but using the luminosity mode in the layers. I see a bit of orange/red in your edited versions, and as beautiful as the edited versions are, I'd want to experiment with reducing the orange and red (and using the luminosity mode would help with this.) The only other thing I notice is that with the second set of photos, I would crop out more of the arm at the bottom, or clone it out. These photos are wonderful, though, and I love the clarity of focus in their eyes!
