first off welcome to the forum

i do wonder about your statement:
"made me promise not to show anyone"

a good friend would've asked if that included an international web site? where ppl could if they wanted right click & save

they look a little blown out in places from the lighting
& the skin tone is splotchy
i like her expression on 4 but the crop is a little tight,
where 3 & 5 have almost too much excess

5 has the most promise with a better crop imo

are you using a tripod? think they could stand to be sharper too...

experiment with your light source,
others here can suggest how, who take more portraits then i
