I purchased my 1st DSLR, a Nikon D3200, in May last year to pretty much to document my baby daughter growing up. I knew nothing about photography and honestly thought by now it would be in a cupboard gathering dust and we'd continue shoving an IPhone in her face at every opportune moment. I didn't realise I'd catch the bug and that I'd find a great hobby that I love. I've had lots of hobbies before, but never have I felt such a desire to learn and improve. The unusual thing so far is that it's an hobby that allows you to spend more time with family. I'm sure there are some 'photography widows' that might disagree with this.
This has to be one of my favourite photos so far, yet I'm beginning to see its faults.

The thing is I don't care, but I want to be better. This was a ad-hoc photoshoot of in her 1st Birthday outfit in our Dining Room (now Bethany's play room) shot using a 35mm f1.8. It was post-bath and pre-book&bed (hence the bags under her eyes). My own critique is: its not sharp, white balance is off (I think), I've chopped off her fingers & feet and her dolly in half and her clothes are the same colours as the background. This is all made better by her great smile.
This photo has made me learn so much in the month since it was taken. Please critique and maybe suggest changes I could make if I was to re-shoot a similar photo.
