Overall, nice work – especially with focus being tack on the eyes.  If I may, there are a couple areas where I would suggest strengthening:

–  Personal opinions about the “vintage” look aside, I would caution a more discerning eye towards highlights.  There are a couple portrait shots where the face blends almost completely into the background, only to have it broken up again by a feature of the face.  There’s one shot in particular where it’s really difficult to make out the bunny ears that the child is wearing. White on white is very hard to master – play around with contrast and shadows.

–  Composition seems to be centered on the subject for a lot of the shots.  While this isn’t always bad, it’s also not the most ‘exciting.’  Play around a bit and use the rule of thirds to your advantage.

–  Always be wary of the limbs when shooting or cropping down.  There are a lot of cut off fingers/hands/feet.

You seem to have a very solid grasp on photography – keep shooting!
