Well done set! Projects the message she wants you to get. Sad to see holes is God's perfect creations but it is likely part of her story.
Thanks for looking.

Very nice mood! Great photos!
I may personally put more catch lights in her eyes in post-processing or in shooting. But that's just my 2 cents.
Thank you. I did enhance the catch lights a little bit, but I prefer to keep it subtle to avoid having them look like they've been edited. I don't particularly like the look of catch lights that have been brightened a lot, especially with natural light portraits taken in open shade or overcast settings.

You could have said these were shot with an R5 and an expense RF lens and nobody would have questioned it......
At the end of the day a camera is only a tool. How we use the tools available to us is what matters, though I doubt anyone here needs me to preach this. Thanks for commenting John.
I think that when it comes to shots of people the camera/lens combo used is far less important. An exception might be long distance wildlife. Take a look at the owl photos currently listed in the Canon forum. The detail is amazing but in those instances the detail is the story. In you photos this is not the case. The essence of the model is the story and you do not need each strand of hair to be perfectly sharp to tell that story

I think focal length of a lens is fairly important in portrait photography, but I agree that it's not as important as how a subject is directed and captured, or how the creative direction of a shoot is implemented. But yes, every detail doesn't need to be in perfect focus, although many would disagree. To each their own.
