Would like some feedback. This is my oldest daughter and my first time in the studio. Would like some overall comments on what I did right, and wrong. Would also like comments on my overall performance for my first time in the studio.

The shadows (which you want to be very soft) will help define the shape of her face and give her a 3 dimensional look.

By far my favorite of the bunch -- a great job, particularly for your first attempt. Left a comment.

It's amazing how much a difference those two tiny changes make. Very nice.
