Another Christmas Commission

Whew it is getting down to the wire! Here are some samples of photos I took of this 18 yr old. Her grandmother is commissioning me and I am taking these pics to her tomorrow night. The girl was moving from Cleveland to California (oh, the dreams 18yr old have!) so I only had one hour to get these shots. I am pretty happy with a couple of them. What do you think? My vote is for the one of her looking over her shoulder. (recognize the gray t-shirt? She brought her girlfriend and like all teenagers were dressed practically the same!)

Also, the first two would be head and shoulder, for the third pose to work I would do the figure as you see it. She says her father loves her suspenders, and this portrait is for her dad. I can't get past the fact that I feel that showing teeth makes it less of a proper portrait, though. Would love to hear others opinions on this.
