The last one is also my favorite - and I like the color.
I think the family portrait could be improved by cropping the bottom just below the dog's front paws - the mother's legs will look better and the distracting purple shoes on the girl will be hidden.
I'm very much an amateur but I'll say how I feel about the photos since you ask for opinions.
First one beautiful, lovely catchlights in her eyes, but I do find the strong colour background a little distracting.
Family photo, also great but again the background, this time I find a touch too dark against all their dark hair and clothes.Wouldn't want too light of course but perhaps a little lighter than it is.
The baby, off centre, the direction she is facing, she should be on the right of the photo, not the left hand side, (if you want to do off centre). Not so keen on this one, though she is a beautiful subject. No catchlights in the eyes, really need catchlights.You can see the difference they make in your last photo.
Tea cup girl, I find the background too cluttered and distracting.
Love the last one, its almost perfect, lovely catchlights and perfect expression and pose. Considering you said it was
underexposed you have done a great job recovering it.
As I said, I'm no expert, just telling how I see your photos. Much better than I could do, thats for sure.
