Very nice my friend.
Curious, what sort of pp on the skin/eyes? I like.

Liking 2, 4, 7 & 9 as head-shots, but the rest of the set has some amazing portraits! Well done.

What a great set of eyes. Very colorful photos. Some of them reminds me of catalog photography.

Thanks dudes.
Man that Poyey chick knows what she's doin'. Very inspiring. I'll keep some of her looks in mind next time around I'm doing headshots.
Spence - Processing on the skin/eyes is pretty dang simple. Skin just gets the standard Lightroom "soften skin" brush (-100 clarity, +25 sharpness). Eyes are a custom brush preset I made... I don't have it in front of me at the moment, but it's something along the lines of +0.15 exposure, +25 contrast, + 30-40 clarity, +25 sharpness. Vary exposure as needed to look relatively natural.
Also, number 1 had a double dose of skin smoothing (ran the brush, new layer, ran it again), while selectively erasing areas that got too smooth.
Hope that helps!

damn dude. you are moving up fast!
#1- light is soooo nice dude. I tiny bit of light behind her to pop the top of her hair just a touch would have
been baller.
#2- WOH. Hot dude. Again, that light is so nice
#4- having the crop right at the back of her arm like, that and having her arm back a little is making her
look a little wider than she is.
#12- so moody, I love it like I love #1. forehead wrinkles could probably go.

Such splendid photos do justice to a such splendid woman. Really great job as a photographer.

Very nice set. I have a few suggestions to make them a tad better for next time.
- When the eyes are 'far over to the side', don't let them get too far over. Bring them back a little bit. Example is #3. #5 has them over, but not quite as far.
- #12 The crop needs a bit more on viewer's right. Show more of her shoulder. Some cropping could come off the top of this and some other shots too, but I suspect you left space there for the logo and would crop them more on top when you printed for final.

Wonderful pictures - for a bit there I thought she was Jennifer Aniston. 
There's a pretty good resemblance there.
I really like how you brought out the colors of her skin and eyes. Just beautiful.

#10, is the dress more in focus than the face?

These are beautiful shots. I try to keep my headshots a little tighter on the crop. I do like the idea of playing around with a looser crop though.
