I’m slowly getting back into photography but these are just from my iPhone with editing in Lightroom. Any feedback would be great. I want to learn more about people photography.

For candids they look pretty good to me.

Way too cute! Loving her "hearts" knitwear cap... so adorable (and likely toasty warm)

"...Any feedback would be great. I want to learn more about people photography." Sara when photographing people a.k.a. portraiture it often helps to have your lens lower than in a standing position... use your knees to get the lens to at least chest or waist level of your subject... This imparts an aura of grandeur to the individual you are photographing....

And you are so lucky to have a mom who gave you a Nikon d3300 several years ago... Lots of excellent videos on YouTube to help you master this "Tool" And best wishes to your wonderful mom for giving you such an excellent gift!

And most importantly... Happy belated Birthday Sara! Sorry I missed it yesterday... lol
Hope you had a wonderful time on your special day!

Please keep posting here and asking for feedback, there are lots of friendly photographers more than happy to offer support on our photographic journey! All the best!

The triplet tell a story, but #3 alone is a story. The mask of course says "SARS-2" dating the photo's place in history. Even with the mask covering the mouth we know it is a fun day, her eyes are smiling. It is cold enough that there is snow on her hair, and it is so cold that her fingers are pulled back to keep them warm.

This photo years from now will quickly tell the viewer a story which is the mark of a great long lasting photo projecting us into a time and place.

The three together would form a "Triptych" [TRIP-tik] - A work consisting of three image panels that are hinged
Wow, now you are an advanced art critic.

Fun shots for a fun day. One thing you might consider is to avoid dappled light on the subject's face--in this case, the patchy light and shadows from leaves and branches. Try to get more uniform light (not bright sunlight) so the contours of the face create the highlights and shadows.
