I love the quirky "make a face" photo. It shows a lot of neat stuff:
a) you're really pretty no matter what you're doing
b) you're flexible (and I mean "emotionally flexible" not just "your lips are flexible")

I think that you've got a strong-looking portfolio there! It shows a mix of different moods and shows you're adaptable and capable. Darned good!

You look great, know how to pose, and all the normal stuff.  LIke Marcus, what grabs me is that you've got a few images there that show range - that you can show more than three expressions with your face.  You've even got a couple where you show physical range, where you're doing something with your body besides a stock standard pose.

I've noticed that the portfolios that grab me and grab me hard are where in the 20 shots, I see that there are few physical or emotional limits.  Like the make a face shot.  Can the person look good, graceful, genuine, and connect with the viewer in anger, playfulness, craziness, sorrow.  And does each of them look different.  (Extreme acting test: sorrow, sadness, unhappiness, glum.  All should look different.  But for a lot of folks, it's hard to make happiness and sadness look different.) 

You've got a couple in there, but about 2/3 of the shots are within a narrow range.  if you've got range, flaunt it!  That makes you WAY different, and able to work in a ton more situations.

I just did a shoot that should be very intersting. I am awaiting back the pictures. I am honestly more interested in acting vs. modeling... so perhaps that is why I am able to convey emotion through film?

Great photos.  You remind me a bit of a younger Amanda Jilesse.
