I liked # 2, great girl to show off. 
Total time about 10 minutes, use a variety of plug ins, masking and liquefying the lips, cheeks, and eyes. with some smoothing. hard to do with a LR image without overdoing it.

She definitely is Parokhodov. Hope you don't mind a little play. Did some degrunging (ACE Grain Extract Overlay, though byRo's technique works quite well too, but I'm in GIMP right now) and also did some Contrast Mask simulation.

Great images! One thing I was wondering, though: Why did you choose pictures 4 and 5, where she is obviously wearing colorful socks and sweater, to be B&W? IMHO, the B&W doesn't do much for the images. Having said that, I really love these shots, and she is super cute! And some of the processing others have posted is excellent. Keep going!

No offense intended anyone, but its amazing how weird some of these look :-)
Britt, you're looks wonderful to my eyes. Maybe a little disconcerting when compared to the original how perfect she looks, but is beautiful.
Paul, yours looks quite natural. Its what I would have ended up doing.

Well, she looks lovely to my eyes
I'd have gone with a tighter crop and B/W, like this:

Britt, I am not sure you are allowed to move her lip down. :-)

That could be an issue under many circumstances but I took it as a challenge and wanted to see if it could be done and look natural. This is actually an occassional request I get on job to reposition lips to conceal gum lines.
