Pat, she is a lovely girl. I think you should make friends with this girl. She is your ticket and do what ever you can to hold on to her. She can make most of the portfolio for you.
Even though the shots are all good, I do not particularly like her outfit especially if you are building a portfolio of oil paintings. When doing drawings one can add a line here and there and wallah new outfit. Sure one can do the same with oil but we usualy paint only what we see until our imagination kicks in but that takes time. As a artist, you wish to attract clients with money. I suggest that you experiment with wardrobe with this girl. Hold on to her even if you must pay her.
The only shot I like is the 4th and only the head position and shoulders.
The 1st is a good shot but I think she is leaning to far back. You could adjust this in the painting.
The 2nd is good as well but would not include her left arm and maybe have a open hand under her chin. Still the fist gives the impression of strength that can work. Again th outfit does not giver her beauty justice.
The 3rd again good but her gaze and pose are not comfortable natural and again the outfit.
I hope I was able to help.
