I like the photos, but I am not too fond of the post processing. There is really no black point and they seem a bit washed out. There is an added texture or something which makes these look less "photographic." The red in the background bleeds onto her hair. The light is a little harsh for my taste. Mostly they are quite nice though.
The marks on the background pull my eyes from her to it........that background with the marks has to go.....first two photos are good.....I would clone out the faint marks on the door and be proud of the photo. In photo #4, her flower is competing with the mark on the door......
The first two work for me pretty well, but the stray hairs detract just a bit. I have issues with controlling stray hairs at shoots sometimes (especially outdoors) and end up having to deal with it in post. Doing it up front is always easier. The desaturated shadow processing is a personal taste thing I think.
Nice first post. You didn't ask for it, but you got some critique anyway. Welcome to the forum. I understand the comments. If this is your style, stick with it. I think if you just move her away from the distractions on the background, they look fine.

nice model, I agree about processing and "washed out" look
