Ron, I will admit, you're camera "presence" is really great. Our shoot with my Nina, you really know how to bring out the best in someone, whatever it takes, you always seem to have something in your bag of tricks, that WORKS
Thanks again

I disagree with the comments on the veins in her hands: they speak to strength and power, in my mind, and balance her perfectly. And they are the veins she displayed on the day, so...

Everyone has already said what is great about the shots so I won't repeat any of the above positives. I like to play devil's advocate so I will add some of my nitpicks instead.
#1 I feel that there is so much separation that the waterfall background could be a studio backdrop.
#2 Her lower body looks bigger than one might expect. Maybe a combination of her pose and focal length distortion if not her actual body. Don't know. Maybe a darker dress to support her light features. I think the wrist bend is too acute making her hand seem bloated.
#3 Gorgeous photo. My only quibble is with her eyes. Seem a bit over processed as the clarity pops too noticeably for my taste. I think the dress color and brightness work here as it contributes to the high key effect.
#4 Too bright. Again, darker dress. Light dress washes her out. Blue fringing on rails.
#5 Another beautiful picture. Nitpicks: eye clarity, a touch bright on right hand and arm. Her hands look fine to me in terms of their actual appearance.
Better color dress in 5 and 6. Works for me anyway.
#6 Great colors, effective blurring of the background, nice diagonals in the background, well composed with good negative spacing, good light/dark contrast, beautiful subject, no distracting elements. My favorite.
