I am very new to photography, and am looking for advice and critique. I would like to learn as much as I can so I can continue growing and doing something I have found I really enjoy. I am still extremely new, as you can see by my pictures and editing, and am confused about things such as good natural lighting (when taking pictures outdoors), good backgrounds to the pictures, and editing.

These are some pictures from the first 3 sessions I have done, that I have taken and edited on CS5. I am using a Nikon D3000 with a 8-55mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S DX VR Nikkor Zoom lens.

I am open to any suggestions, advice or critique, and any articles or anything like that people would be willing to share, thank you so much!

Thank you! Tara Clark

I like your photos a lot. I'd never guess that they're from a newbie. You've got a great eye for composition. Sorry I don't have any constrictive criticism at this time.
