Looks great. Did you use reflectors on any of these? I've got a senior portrait shoot in a couple of weeks. It'll be my first as well. Any suggestions? Did you use any reflectors? 1 and 3 look really good.

Hi Ceps.
Used a silver reflector in 2 and 3. Slightly shaded sun in 1.
Only suggestion, if you can swing it leave the Moms and boyfriends at home. It really inhibits the girls from posing and being relaxed. If you could have them come with a girlfriend I think that is the best scenario.
I know...good luck with that.
I like the poses, and the composition of each one, especially #3. Great DOF in this shot, nice use of texture. She looks most relaxed here.
Something about her skin looks off, though. Like you applied too much blur and/or not enough feathering to make it seamless. I can't tell if the faces are in focus or not.
#1 skin tone looks too red, I know her complexion is ruddy, but you can warm it up a bit. I'd also do some subtle skin work on the backs of her arms ...I have this problem too in winter and know I'm incredibly self conscious about it!
HTH...nice job. Great use of light, it shows in her eyes.
she needs a strong dose of the healing brush to take out those skin blemishes...she's a beautiful girl but even beautiful people need the good old healing brush
