Lovely, lovely mom and child.
Interesting that you selected very black blacks and very light grays for this.
If it was mine, I might have included some medium & dark grays, but it's
not mine, it's yours. And you made some nice choices.

What is the first thing you see when looking at this photo? The monogram "B" on the kids shirt... I would have taken his shirt off and also cropped in above the ladies elbow to get rid of all the distracting wrinkled clothing. Lighting is very flat on face and there is not enough light on hair resulting in no separation between subjects and background and loss of all detail of hair. Also would have had the child look up at camera as is the lady or had her look at the child for continuity.

I like how the mother is slightly more tan, and has a few freckles on her skin in contrast to the pale smoothness of the baby. The wisps of hair framing their faces gives a nice visual texture as well. It could go even further if the mother had more texture on her dress, like the back to contrast even more with the smoothness of the baby's clothing, juxtaposing new and polished with classic textured.
