The Photographing is great; but for senior pictures I would think proper clothes. I really like the third one except the white bracelet,

Not that I'm a professional in anyway but just looking at them from a viewing stand point, here's my take.

First, all are very well done. I love the composition, lighting and frame effect.

The first one, I'm distracted by what looks like her navel piercing showing through her top. I love the framing..great call.

The second one, I don't like the fact that you can see her pink polka dot bra through her shirt. Again, it draws away from a great shot.

Third one, my favorite..it's sweet and you want to get to know her.

Fourth is good but you see her phone sticking out her back pocket. Again it is a distraction though not too bad.

This is what she wanted, so I went along with it. I'll see if I can take some more pictures in different clothes. ty

Great pictures.
B/W is my favourite.

The first one is a great idea. I would choose a different background or blur it a little more.

I like them all. I'm a little confused about the clothes comment, I see nothing wrong with the clothes and last,find me a senior without a phone. again good job,without you she would have no pics.

I like them. A suggestion - I've seen the frame shot where only the subject was in color and I liked it better that way. You may want to try and see which way you like better. And it was great of you to do this for this beautiful girl!

Thank you, I did it both ways, I did take about 200 pictures of her, didn't know if they were going to turn out ok. Now I'm just playing with them. I thought she was nice enough to take a chance on me.
