Easy now, new model & ...

1pocket

...photographer is kinda new at model photography, too. She's hoping to get into a little "commercial" or "lifestyle" modeling. Too "petite" for fashion apparently. Anyway, this was her first experience "modeling" for the camera, and maybe my dozenth with any kind of model, so be gentle, but please comment if you have a constructive suggestion or honest opinion you would like to share...

Thanks!

I'd say you're both off to a very good start!

i never would have guessed she was so new, or that you were either! The second one is my fav. Looks completely professional to me!

Nice stuff. #6 is my fave.

Good pics, shes absolutly adorable... thats the kinda girl i like. Shes got that "innocent" look so im sure she'll do well in catalogs.

Great job both of you. Those ones with an iPhone are especially nice with the work that she's hoping to get into.

Great job. Numbers 2,3,5,6 look very natural. The others look a little forced in terms of pose, but overall, great job.

Nice job! You both did very well! I like #2, 5 & 7. My only comment would be to keep those beautiful eyes more towards the camera and not off to the side like #5. Over all a great shoot!

i am perfectly fine with number 5.. i like it that she's not looking at the camera.. i didnt like her pose on #3, i like #1 the most.. i just love headshots of a beautiful girl..

Thanks for the encouraging words!

Regarding the posing -- not to look posed -- yeah, that is a genuine challenge both for photographer and model I would say. I do find some of the best shots are consistently when I catch them offguard. Makes me want to take advantage of tripod and cable release a bit more. With hand-held, I feel like I give away a little too much (as far as when I am going to click).

Here are a couple more:
