Watch your horizons. https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc6/s720x720/285733_431084896915064_1133611872_n.jpg

Watch your focus point. This is both out of focus, and tilty. https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc7/389182_431084940248393_1326458092_n.jpg

This is a funny pic, but it could benefit from a better crop, and it looks like you were walking backwards while shooting it (causing focus to fall a little short). https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/527818_431085063581714_327847115_n.jpg

Watch your white balance. On your easter shoot, WB is all over the place. https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/551047_385267478163473_1675099832_n.jpg

 

I give you full props on resisting tons of opportunities to do a horrendous spot color. Overall your camera handling is good, and I think you need to work on composition, and white balance. Get yourself a gray card and use it on all studio sessions. They’re cheap, and one shot at the beginning will really help you get proper white balance on the entire studio session. Slow down and make sure your focus is spot on, and walk the edges of the frame for composition. Fix tilted horizons either in-camera or in post if you aren’t paying attention.

 

Congrats! You are not a fauxtographer.
