New here - photo to share

Hi everyone,
My name is Steph, and I am trying to improve my photography skills. I am a mom to two girls ages, 2.5 & 11mos. I've started working on my portfolio, and did a recent shoot with a family.

What do you think of this photograph?

I'd love some CC - what I can do differently...how I can edit differently. This photo was shot with my 50mm f/1.8

Thanks, and I look forward to getting to know you all better.

Steph

Hey Steph! I love that photo! The processing and composition are wonderful if you ask me.

I'm a mom of two as well, except mine at 8 (almost 9) years and 4 months. Can you tell I was traumatized by labor? haha.

The light on this is gorgeous and you handled the background very nicely! My only comment would be that there is a bunch of empty space on the right side that probably doesn't need to be there, but its really a fairly minor nit. Overall, very nice photo!
