It is hard to know which are your new pictures.

In general, most of the images are flat and you are centred in most. Ask the photographer to re-crop to obey the rule of thirds and to increase the contrast.

Good luck,

You picked the best of the former bunch. The first one, cropped tightly, is much better. I don't think there's much help for the 2nd one. The light is just bad and the composition isn't great -too much asphalt, but you're doing fine in the walking pose. As said above, there should be more light on your face.

Can't wait to see your smile!

You are a pretty girl with very amateurish and technically flawed photos.
They will not serve you well in any major market, you on the other hand have a good look and despite your height could make some money out there.

Get with pros and start fresh, you are wasting time otherwise and that is the one resource we all have a very finite amount of.

From what I can see, you have very attractive facial features and great eyes.  Get a decently lit head shot, minimal makeup, but with well set up butterfly or loop lighting.  Hands and arms can be dramatic or distracting.  Add some images that show an elongated body with hands away from your face.  Overall, you have very good features and figure, with proper lighting and posing you can build a great portfolio.  Keep shooting.                  PS-If you every get up to the Portland area, I'll make time to shoot with you.

You're going to be sooo busy! Shots have a great, light feeling. Put up some that focus on your face, if you have them, from this shoot.

This is such an intriguing expression:
