I have one thing to say, I don't like the hair streaks.
She is a beautiful woman.
I'd like to see what her natural hair color is.
I do know that it is the style now.

Not at all ...
Sometimes we have to photograph hair styles and wardrobe we would rather not. Her particular hair style doesn't bother me ,,, but that doesn't mean you have to like it.

Numbers 5 and 6 really appeal to me. I think that she is going to look at number 1 in twenty years and be embarrassed at the Uggs.
Having said that, nice lighting, good composition. But, I really like the natural smile in the leaves.
Nice job!
Thanks Rich ... yeah getting mixed reviews from other photogs on the boots ... it's the style now and all the cool girls are wearing them ... plus last night it was snowing here so they were appropriate for the elements ....
You have an attractive model with a wonderful smile. I thought every smile was the same, but you mixed it up at the end. Watch for those repetitions when you present photos in a series.
I like the good lighting and poses, but have a few nits on each.
In a few shots the skin shows a shine - tip of the nose usually. That's an indiction of a blown red channel.
The distortion is showing in #1, but you may have wanted that and planned for it.
#2. This one has a crop through the arm. OK, sure. But WHY? The answer is the pose is one where you can't get a good looking crop. If you include both elbows, she ends up in the middle. You almost solved the problem in #3 by adding on some of the lower body. Crop the right side more to move her head more to viewer's right.
Does this make sense to you?
The series of leaves shots is really nice. Good job.
The "green" shot looks good, but at the same time it looks a bit odd. It took me a while to find out why I thought that way. She is facing right and looking left. You've left lots of empty space on both sides, so I wonder if a portrait crop would have worked, or whether cropping some off one side or the other would help.
Bottom line is that you have a very nice shoot. Well done.

Thanks for the advice ... points noted and I appreciate the feedback. These are pretty much as cropped in camera and I like to leave a little extra for cropping to 8x10 or 11x14 if they choose that format.
Her smile is great ... she smiles ALL the time ... but it is either on or off. ... no middle ground. So trying to get a range of expression has been difficult.
