before / after

this was my 3rd newborn session... I'm just a beginner, but still proud of my work as i am self (internet) taught :)

 

As you can tell by all my other photos, i've had a hard time getting the beautiful creamy skin tones the pros seem to get, all today i was trying to learn how to do them better and this is as good as my editing gets...

any tips or pointers in the direction of any tutorials on it, i would really appreciate!! :) i'd also welcome any (kind) CC on this to help me get better, thanks so much!
