Yay yay yay!!! I am so looking forward to seeing your gang! She's really cute in that hat, and I agree the whole outfit suits her perfectly. You have a cool background.
Have some confidence -- how do you know your photography will be bad? Maybe it isn't. Nuthin' much wrong with this one. And the more you do, the better it will get and the more confident you will be... and the most important part is to have fun with it anyway; we're not going for World Press Photo of the Year, here! Just have fun showing off your collection!
Re the shaky hands... do you have a tripod? You can get a mini one for fairly cheap at many shops or even eBay; it can help a lot to stabilize your shot. (Failing that, you could even just brace the camera on a solid box, a soup can, a block of wood...) Then just choose a fast shutter speed if your camera will let you adjust that.
I'm really glad you are going to post some pictures. I'll tell Scarlett she may finally get to see your crew
