Headshots of Pretty Ladies C&C Welcome

[Bgagnon127]

Hi All,
I recently did this shoot pro bono for a woman who sells the headbands and donates the proceeds for breast cancer research. I'm over all pretty happy with them but posing is a challenge for me. Let me know you're thoughts on how you approach posing. Do you ask the model to stay relatively still while you direct each part of them, or do you ask the model to continuously move into different poses?

Not a bad set at all. (In future, please number your images to allow for better critique). Going L -> R, top to bottom, 1 and 2 are fine except for a litle darkness in the eyes, I think in #3, the flower should be up a little more and I would prefer to see her looking toward me, not necessarily facing me, but at least eye-contact. The expression really kills #4, and I think a slight turn of the head to her left (image right)would show off the flower better. Five and six I like.

Thanks some good feedback. I agree regarding the darkness in the eyes, I think I had my key light a touch too high now looking back at them. Tough because I couldn't see my model lights very good due to other ambient light. Appreciate the comment.
