New gear!

Looks good. Better focus for sure. Try shooting with less Depth of Field, lower F stop, f4, 5.6, something like that. You will have to adjust the the shutter speed (possibly ISO) accordingly.
The object is to soften up the background a bit. It will bring more attention to that great face.

So here are some new shots, I know them might be a little overexposed but I like how they came out. Like before these are straight out of the camera. I love how the eyes turned out the focus is great and the color is good.

These are really great. I like the B&W Lil Stinker!
Devon, might be able to help some more if you would include the shooting data. SS, f stop and ISO. (if you are in LR with the image hit the "i" key once for the time etc and a second time for the shooting data.)

I did not know that! Us old farts...

The third color shot is my favorite. Be careful with your framing, you don't want to cut off the hair at the top of the frame.
The data looks fine, I love the shallow depth of field that the 50mm 1.8 gives you.
Looks like there is plenty of ambient light, did you try some shots with a lower ISO or faster SS?

Those blue eyes are killer!

Thanks! I noticed that the framing was a bit off, I was a little quick to get the shot as she won't stay in one pose for more than a second. And yes the 50 is a nice little lense I watched a lot of reviews about having one and for the price why not. I did try a lower ISO but it brought out a lot of skin tone differences veins, redness and other features I didn't care for. So I bumped it up to washe out some of it. This child is so white she is praticaly see through lol I have been paying attention to the exposer meter and making adjustment +1 or -1 on ISO or shutter speed.
