Aw, how cute Isn't it exciting getting your first dollies to do photoshoots with! Ivy's little plushie is adorable, and it looks like the two of them will be fun to photograph together.
As far as "constructive criticism" goes, nice poses... you have good light on the ones of them in the tree, which is sometimes hard to do when they're in the shade. Did you have a reflector? And the ones of them in the sun aren't overly contrasty, which can also sometimes be a problem. Cloudy-bright days are best, or a little haze; the whole sky becomes a big light softbox. So, good job
If you are able to set the focus or depth of field on your camera to focus only on the dolls, and throw the background out of focus, it makes for better pictures because then your centre of interest -- the doll -- isn't competing with stuff in the background -- like the fence behind the tree, for example. (My little postage-stamp digicam won't really do this either, just my 'real camera' (film)).
I think my favourite is Marty in the grass; she looks like she's blissfully rocking out to the music.
Nice first photoshoot. Looking forward to seeing more!
