I did a short shooting (1 hour) with Teresa and her dog on sunday. First shooting with a7iii and also first shooting with a 35mm prime. Here a small selection of the images.
Both are very beautiful but I find her fair skin and the lighting clashing. In a few of the images, her fair skin tone blends into the background. Nothing some post processing can't easily fix if suggestions are worthy.
Again lovely lady and precious "child".

I think you did a fantastic job in the posing, her natural beauty really shines through!
They might be just a tad bright for my taste, but I tend to shoot a little on the dark side to preserve as much detail as possible but, I think the exposure value works well in these images.
I would agree with gheller and Danpbphoto. Beautiful images and great poses in the series, but the faces in several are a bit on the bright side. I would probably use #6 as the exposure standard for skin tone, contrast, etc.
Unless I am loosing my vision, these have been edited and reposted. The skin tone is far better in these then yesterday when I 1st viewed them.
The fairness of her skin versus the background is far better now than yesterday.

In addition to above statement, the posted size is larger than yesterday. These are very much better mate! Yes she is indeed a lovely woman and you did her proud.

That is strange. I did not change anything in images or the post. Strange artefact of web compression maybe? For me they looked exactly that way from the beginning.
But thanks for the feedback it was a lot of firsts... first time with a stranger (other than family or friends), first time dual camera, first time 35mm prime and first shooting with a7iii. Went all very smooth
I find the WB seems to change for virtually every shot, I'd suggest a manual WB and use of the WB card for the first shot of each sequence so the "portfolio" looks balanced.
For me #2, #4, #7 and #8 the DR is a bit too high, note face vs arm density. Even though it looks like an overcast day, a fill reflector would kick a bit more light into her arms.

Agree about the high key skin tones and background. The model's skin tone shows off better in the second to last photo, although I always prefer unobtrusive backgrounds.
