Below are two photos of my neighbor's daughter. She is a twin, her sister is posted under 'Gracie photo'.

I welcome any suggestions on how to crop these photos, or how to handle the background. I was thinking of a nondescript background, bushes and a few flowers. Or the doorway.

I am trying desperately (!) to build a portfolio and having a challenging time with taking resource photos. (Before anyone suggests reading Mike McCarty's very helpful posts, I've read them all yet still struggle with ideal lighting situations. I'm working on it!)

This little girl lives across the street so I can always take a look at her for accurate skin tones.

Thank you, I am looking forward to hearing what you all think (even if it means I need to reshoot).
