I just did a new shoot. What do you think?
( My whole port is up for critique as well!) Thank you! I'll tell you my favorite picture in your port!
These are my newest shots!
good additions. Though I think you should be smiling or at least more positive looking in your "neutral" state in these pics. You should reconsider your head shot- perhaps just crop one of these shots into a portrait format?

Any particular suggestion on which one? or any that don't stand out?
Edit!
And this is my favorite picture in your port. So soft and pretty!

I think the photographer delivered on lovely tonality, however, your expressions in this set don't work for me, and there's one shot on the cusp of excellent. You're standing and you have got your head at the right handle and then the eyes eyes are narrowed and the mouth looks odd. If it was a TF shoot you need to really prepare in posing and expressions so that when you come across someone who has having a great day that you take full advantage of the opportunity. I saw other shots in your port where you looked much better.

Thank you very much. I'll work on my part more. And yes, it was a TF shoot. Most of my shoots are. My standing posing needs a lot of work, and I'm trying to get there!

lovely!
I really like the 3rd one and the last one.
I think the second one is too hunched and misses elegance because of that, but the other ones are nice . A bit of a soft smile would have been cute too.
I'd either add the last one to your port, or maybe a compilation of a couple of pictures.

Thank you! I like the 3rd one a lot as well!
I adore your work. I think you are just stunning!
I've always been drawn to this picture. Your smile is stunning and so genuine!
work on your range of expression - use the method acting technique if needed
show a mix of very strong postures in series like these along with more relaxed postures
use your eyes to create engagement with the scene or story - you don't always have to look at the photographer - a few shots where you are either focusing intently on something off camera and / or looking dreamily unfocused and away add a lot to the flow of the mood
I like the pose and body language of this shot (and the photography too), but I can't figure out the facial expression - it just seems so ambiguous - no idea what you're trying to convey to the camera/viewer.
This one is better - and I think it's mainly the change in your mouth - but it is still a little vague for me.
I like the mood and aesthetic of the photos and your body language but your facial expressions confound me.

Thank you Gregor! I'm still getting back into the swing of things, and know there is a lot I need to work on, expressions being only one of the things i need to work on. Hopefully I'll only get better!
And I could never pick a favorite out of your pictures. I like them all!

Thank you David! I know that is an area i need to work on, and have been practicing daily, and now i just need ti get it down in front of the camera. Thank you for the honest reply!
I love this picture in your port!
