I would rather have a beautiful light than a beautiful model.

What exceptional words of wisdom!
Brenda, stay away from direct sunlight on the face whenever possible. The afternoon setup you described may mean the sun will be pouring in, which you want to avoid. A north facing window means the sunlight never shines directly in and you get soft, constant cool light, which is what artists have loved for centuries. If you don't have a north facing light, shoot near a west-facing window in the mornings or an east-facing window in the afternoons, for example, to get indirect light.
