Your portrait shots have this hazy over processed look to them. Nothing looks sharp when you do that, and tend to be hard to look at. With kayla it looks like you just went to far into the skin smoothing. Proper lighting can give you the same effect with a less “fake” look. With the Kairi, it looks like you added a texture as well, and it eats into the baby’s legs sometimes.

Generally never take what the client says as truth, they just see smooth skin and think that it looks like a model, but even most of the over airbrushed fashion shots are still crisp and sharp. Work on taking great pictures then work on editing to make an awesome shot a little better.
