Thank you Leslie for replying to my post. I think you are right that I shouldn't make it so hard on myself. This little guy does have a crooked smile, which is one of the things that makes him so endearing. But I see all the points you have made about his head. I think since his head is not looking straight at the camera, all the bumps and angles look funny. You're absolutely right, when a prospective client looks at it, they probably won't want their baby painted with a funny looking head (if that's what it looks like to them).
So, I suppose the message I'm getting is the same from everyone who was kind enough to take the time to reply. I actually have taken quite a few photos of my three nieces and nephews, but I think the key is to get a model that lives here in Houston!
Thanks again, Joan
