I desperately need advice on what could be added to my portfolio to make it better. I have no idea.

          Thanks,

                         Pauline

It's a tough call, but I think you might want to trim a few images from your portfolio.
While this image shows us your incredible figure

I might cut this one too:

I like your candy though!

You tend to drop your head and collapse your upper torso on most of your frames, it makes you look withdrawn and tired. Pull your shoulders down next time and extend your neck to look more attractive.

Ask your photographer to use a longer lens on full body shots, the shorter lens makes your body look too distorted. At least 100mm next time.

Some search categories you have listed might be a starting point to add more looks.
You have nothing on lingerie fitness pregnancy etc.

Move away from the wall, an out of focus background is less distracting

When possible include all of your hands and feet in photos

This would be my favorite image in portfolio

Would love to see you add a studio style headshot

Wish you well

Depends on what you want to do too. You have head and body shots covered. Do you want to do fine art? Concepts? Modern/retro? Pinups?
