Thanks! I was a little nervous when she mentioned it a few times and sort of blew it off but when I realized she was serious and really wanted me to, I made sure she knew that I was a novice and she said she didn't care so I'm going to have fun with it!

Larger lens (high aperture) brings in more light hence the less clear/crisp are, so that's why it's best to go with a small aperture, is that right?
So for low light both ISO and aperture have to be taken into consideration?
to sum up:
shutter speed - when the priority is for a faster picture meaning less blur
ISO - priority is when there is low light but the higher the ISO the grainer the picture
aperture - when the priority is having crisp photos but shutter speed will be slower hence potential for blur
Is this somewhat right?

In this pic, you notice all the space above the girl's head. It kind of throws the balance off in the picture. I always try to bend down, and shoot directly at kids, pets, etc...although this angle does make her appear very small, because you are shooting down at her. It might be desireable, as she is a little girl.
Your framing will change, once you get used to looking at things through a viewfinder. You will find yourself seeing things as pictures, even though you don't have your camera with you.
The tendency is to pay attention to focusing, looking at the meter in the viewfinder, and god knows what else, and we forget to frame the pic just before we take the shot. Those lines in the viewfinder can be annoying sometimes, and we end up moving the camera just to see the subject above/below those lines.

Thanks for the critique! That was awesome. I was going to ask you and Gonzo to critique my shots but forgot to mention so that's great - would love to hear more feedback on the other pics, I won't be offended with any suggestions.
I really, really, really appreciate all the information you have provided. It's incredibly helpful and useful...big hugs to you!
