Like the 2nd shot, love the third shot. In the first shot the skin looks a bit yellow and too bright, also the bra and pants look either blown or almost blown. She is a very pretty girl, glad everyone came out happy that's all that really matters.
I like the photos a lot! I really want to get better at portraiture and such. I'm going to experiment this week hopefully. I'm gonna borrow some stuff like the big reflectors and the light softener things (that look like those windshield dashboard things, can't remember what they're called) from the people at my work.

Priviet, Owen! Sure I feel you're close on the heels of mine...
Beautiful model.
Some critique...
1. Looks like asnapshot to me... Sure, you wanted to say something, but...
a) Placing model in a center is only 'sometimes' good...
b) She doesnt look relaxed - I feel tensity, as if she's going to do something (run away? stand into another pose?) I try to talk talk and talk during sessions...
So... we have contradiction here between so called relaxed pose and tension in a face...
2. Again model in a center... This pose... her right shoulder is up - this doesn bring feminity... Think that putting her left hand up is too much - her head in this pose looks indrawn... Face looks a bit agressive and strained... Her shirt makes her waist lower then it is... And also these tucks... I think that this is a mistake of a pose...
3. Now relaxed! Wonderful composition... if only the camera was a bit higher - so that holes of her nose were not visible...
Sorry for such critique, but hope this will help.
We all here have not usual 'eye' - and think that telling 'your' vision of somebody's photo is very helpful. Owen, you've made a great step on the endless way to the perfect photography... I feel that you can do more.. if only... if only YOU will be relaxed while taking photos. One must have much time to see MORE in the viewfinder BEFORE preesing knobe...

#1 seems to show a clipped white point. In the blown-out white and especially in the yellowed fleshtones.
