Here are a couple of shots from earlier this month - shot with 2 speedlights (one flagged for white wall and wrap bounce and the other one in a plastic self made 18" BD).

Personally, I might try and desaturate the reds from her skin - especially in the first picture.

Very nice.. Do you mind posting a shot of the bd or explaining how you made it?

Nicely done.

Thanks guys.

This is the tutorial i had followed - and was able to make one in under 2 hours, including cutting and paint drying time:
