Try a few with a smile. She has the same expression in all of them. Coach her on different expressions and have her not look so static in poses. #1 looks a little too bright on her face.
I'd clone out multiple catchlights in her eyes and if needed just clone in a nice single in each eye.
You have a lovely model, just keep working with her and things will get better and better.

A lovely model. The images are well exposed and the color looks great as do the compositions. My only issue would be eyes - they look a bit too bright.

And I agree with Qbx about the smile. With a smile she would be an even more beautiful beauty.

A beautiful model and she appears able to adopt a relaxing pose.
I like the overall exposure levels and colour.
Two things I would be (perhaps overly) critical about:
1. Cropping off at limb joints (wrists, elbows, knees) etc
2. The models collar is both up and down in the same image, I try to keep both up or down.
The above are my preferences only, don't let them detract from your excellent work.

A big smile in #3 would have made an awesone photo.

If you are able to reshoot I would love to see the results.

Here's one of the smiles from that day. Thank you for all the input.

In Photo #3, she looks as though she's got a broken leg. I agree with the previous poster regarding cropping at the joints. Makes the model look like an amputee. Another thing is try not to let the model rest one hand on the other or intertwine them together because that makes it look as though there are just a bunch of fingers coming out of nowhere.

Now, for something positive: I like the lighting for the most part. Shot #5 is a really good one. Cropping the light background will do the trick.

Again in the last one it would be great with some pose coaching. Avoid leg compression (right leg) and overbending (left). Still no full teeth smile but getting there.

I like the overall tone of the pictures and her skin. Don't like the sitting one with her leg - looks awkward. Overall, I think they are excellent.
