Your lighting is all a bit flat. Move your main light to one side and bring the shadows up that it creates with a reflector or fill light but don't eliminate the shadows entirely.

The photos are all also a bit soft. You can sharpen these in post. Otherwise, I'm not sure what your settings and equipment are to tell you more.
