#3 is the best of the set IMO

Good start, but I'd like to see more separation betwen the b/ground and her clothing (black on black???).

Also, perhaps get her to try difference expressions.

Pretty girl. Looks a bit like Gretchen Wilson. She really does need to work on varying her expressions.

I like #5 best, though I would have preferred a bit of fill on the camera-left side of her face (probably just a reflector would have been adequate).

Be sure to watch for the details. For example, in both #2 and #4, you left distracting strands of hair on her shoulders.

Keep shooting.

Zak,
I would love to see her smile. This goes along with other comments on changing her expression. There seems to be an anger, "toughness" or something which detracts from a glamour look. The only other item at this point is to check her makeup, particularly lipstick. There may be a problem with a white reflection due to pigment or component reflection. I would love to see more shots of her with a smile and a makeup change. Thanks for sharing!

Zak,

Good first time shooting a model. Though I agree with the vary her expression critiques, her non-smiling look is fine. What type of lighting equipment did you use?
Thanks for sharing your work
