Re: How was my PP
According to the histogram, the highlights are all OK - none blown out. There is a trivial count of deep shadow that is blocked up - no one will complain about that.
My only problems are 1) the hot spots on her face, and 2) the perspective. I try to avoid portraits that look up into the subject's face. It usually does not flatter the subject. In this particular case it is not hurting in any specific way, but I would advise against it on general principles. The hot spots could be cured by using a parasol to shield the subject from the direct rays of the sun (highly recommended) and as a means of creating open shade.

Re: How was my PP
I agree with bob here. The hotspots on her face and neck are really all I can see that need tending.

Also, what would I have done to bring out the back ground more? I tried to up the saturation but it started to make her turn an orange color.

However, to answer your question about the sky, a polarizing filter could possibly darken the blue of the sky. Such could also be done in post processing. I'm not familiar with that reflector, but I assume you mean to use it to throw more light at the subject from the direction of the camera. That could work in theory, but I do believe a parasol to block the direct sunlight will be much more effective with less trouble.
