Beautiful model! Is she for hire? I prefer #1. Maybe just a little fill on the eyes though. Great first portraits though! Keep working.

They look a tad under-exposed--but nothing you cant correct in post.

The second one is a bit flashy. and it looks like you might be getting some lens shadow. Are you modifying the flash with a diffuser or something? If not, you might like something like a lightsphere or other barebulb-type diffuser(which would help with the shadow on the wall a bit too)--though in a pinch you can use a plastic cup with a crumpled up paper towel inside (as long as no one is looking). Maybe try bouncing the flash in off a wall or off the ceiling.
