I like the first image the most, except that it's dominated by her teeth. Not your fault, obviously, but they are quite attention-grabbing. I would play around with a layer to reduce the sharpness of them and maybe even darken oh-so-slightly. May or may not work...

Most of them look a little under exposed as well. Might have been good to use some fill light (or a reflector). My eye gets pulled to the lighter parts of the backgrounds. The first image might really benefit from a light vignette after the faces are lightened a little.

Some of these look soft, especially the last one which looks like focus was missed. The processing is a little to green for me as well, it looks like you have a beautiful backdrops with fall colors, I would bring these out more.

1 & 3 are good, the other not so good. Go easy on the clarity slider!

Thanks for all the feedback, it is really helpful as I am new to this stuff.

I'm guessing you used a preset to edit these. To me, it's a grittier look that kind of ruins the probable beautiful colors you have available in these pictures. If you want to go with a toned style, I'd lean towards a yellow tone than a green tone (which you have right now). Otherwise, I'd honestly try and go back to natural skin tones. If nothing else, turn your blacks down (I'm assuming you have Lightroom or something similar) and slide your white balance closer to the red side of things.
