The images appear "stretched" and distorted...they appear weirdly "too tall"...it's an unsettling look, which I have seen periodically here on TPF...I even did a screen cap of this a week or so ago.

I dunno what to say except that I think the focal lengths you chose to use were a bit too short, and you missed the focus on her in the streamside seated pose shot. Also, whatever lens or lens+adapter you are using is creating a huge amount of blue chromatic aberration, and it makes the images appear kind of fuzzy, almost like looking at a 3-D kids's book without wearing the 3-D glasses. As far as what is called "reflection control" on the eyeglasses--you did a marvelous job of that!! Really,really good on avoiding bad eyeglass problems! For a first of its kind shoot, I'd say you did okay.
 
As usual, I agree with Derrel. It feels like all the images were taken with too short/wide of a lens and too close to the subject.

It's usually more flattering to your subject if you use a longer focal length and stand further away. Of course, there are times when it's good to shoot up close, but just remember that it's not the best look for most people.
 
Yeah... not good. Agree with the comments above.
 
For your first time, AWESOME JOB!

Just a few things to point out so you have something to do when you get bored:

Watch out for blown out spots. If you look at the 1st picture, the background is too white. You can see an example of it again with the stream. The area on her bottom left side is blown out, too. I'm still learning, so feel free to use the helpful tutorial sticky at the top of the beginner's section.

Watch out for wardrobe malfunction. In this case, visible bra-straps make everyone look disheveled.

If you want the eyes to really sparkle (and your adventurous), get your subject to actually laugh. Your friend has a great posed smile, but nothing really beats a real, lively smile after a good laugh. Give it a shot!

Keep Shooting and Keep Posting! You help out yourself and others!
 
The focal length is too short, and the white balance is off as well. Nice location though. Worth going back and having another shoot with this model.
