Really enjoy the colors of the 1st but why are both so smushed to one side? I would prefer if they filled more of the frame and got rid of some wasted space or even better: a vertical composition
The highlights are hot enough to have lost detail in the skin. Nothing worthwhile we can do with these... if you have the RAWs, you should be able to recover it. Lights were too hot / not diffuse enough based on the contrast on the faces. The negative space issue, and horizontal format? I don't care for it! Very popular with noobs and MWACS, though.
An issue a lot of negative space causes is that it reduces subject scale and subject visual weight in the frame.
Why have all that negative space compete with the viewer's eye for attention?
As mentioned, having the subject facing out of the frame is an issue because we tend to look where others are looking, and the viewer's eye is immediately directed out of the frame.
People have been doing visual art for a couple of thousand years now, and in that time have come to understand that some techniques (composition, lighting) work better than others.
By understanding the whys of long established guidelines of visual art composition, we don't have to redo the trial and error discovery process those before us have already done.
Occasionally, we can make a very successful image by applying the visual art composition guidelines in new ways.

camera orientation, to match her standing, vertical body positioning, would have improved these compositions immensely. The highlights seem over-exposed; perhaps they can be rescued in post, and some detail brought back to them? She's a very pretty subject,and for a first shoot, you did okay on some things.
