You've got a really nice smile and in some of your images, some really fun poses! Have you ever thought about giving commercial modeling a shot? I think that could be a fun one to try! I think that would be a strong point for you. Images like these really show that commercial look and personally, I find them to be your strongest.

As far as advice, I'm going to say the same things that have been said to me recently- but keep shooting! Work with different photographers and find what you like and what you're best with. Like I said, I suggest giving commercial a shot. You've got a great look for that.
Also, as far as portfolio, quality is better than quantity. Maybe remove some of the images that aren't as strong as the others. You don't need to have all 15 slots filled up right away. It's better to let all those slots build up over time with awesome pictures.
Some that I personally think are a little weaker are

I think something to work on is your serious expression, when doing it, it's important to capture an emotion, use face muscles. It's important to loosen the tension in your jaw and play around with different expressions in your eyes, a common one is the Tyra Banks "smize" where you just smile with your eyes. Also, play around with different facial expressions other than serious or happy. Work on capturing different emotions and showing it through your face. One where I feel like you did that was

and it's definitely one of your stronger shots. I like how you're looking over your shoulder and your hand position. It's good to look places other than at the camera.
I think a lot of models can have a nice pose but sometimes lose their face (I do it all the time) but you've definitely got a gorgeous face, so remember to utilize it!
Hope this helped a bit!

You're welcome! And as far as facial expressions, look in magazines, online and see what other models are doing and try it yourself, practice in front of a mirror and in front of the camera. See what works for you! Just keep shooting and practicing!

I would work with you if I was on the correct coast. 

My advice is....expand your portfolio.   You have many pictures, but only 2 looks so far.  Shoot more, lots more.
