Learning to shoot in manual

Eh, so they aren't the best but I am pretty proud of them for it being my first time in manual mode. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be! Anyways, just a couple pictures of yesterday afternoon. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated (:


My little sister Gracie (who we have in our care)

My little girl (20 months)
Baby boy (7 months)

The 2nd picture isn't bad at all! I think the main thing is your exposure. Also shooting in direct sunlight can be very harsh not really recommended. There is an official photography page on here if you want me to link you. I am not a professional and I'm still learning to shoot in manual as well  

All of your kids have the exact same eyes. Blue with a dark blue outer band.  .

I have no advice, but nice pictures.  

exposure is too bright. Did you use your camera's meter?
