Self portraits in the kitchen. Tell me what you like and dislike about these images or tell me your favorite baked good. Either way, be nice :-)
I tend to like the first one more. It's more seductive in nature. The second one tends to just simply be blatant.
I do commend you on your dedication to being a model as well as a photographer.

Bright window on left is distracting.
Thanks for sharing!

I like the first image and have some constructively-intended comments. First - crop it vertically so that the tiny little lamps in the upper-left corner are removed. Then crop it in from the right to just-barely remove the knobs on the stove. Finally, go to a light-colored set of panties. And/or go to a smaller set of undies. Your figure will easily support these suggestions.
Baked salmon. Cut slots in it and fill them with butter. Then drench it with oily Italian salad dressing. Wrap in foil and bake for 10 minutes. Remove foil and bake more for several minutes.

Now here's the danger. You want a wide shot but you're fighting the lens here. A wide angle will create a false perspective making closer things look bigger. You are, I guess limited for room/space here but try sacrificing some of the scene by using a longer lens (or a longer setting on your zoom), if possible, and aiming to have the figure fill more of the frame.
You can't beat a good cake although I guess the more you beat it the better the cake, lol.
I like the flour hand print on the panties! The Cropping recommendation would make this more obvious.

Some good suggestions here. I would like to see your hair down on the shoulders, although when baking it makes sense to have it up. I like the pose with your face turned slightly towards the window. To me a bare shoulder is just as enticing as a bare bottom, so maybe try some standing more upright to de-emphasize your bottom and bring forward the shoulders. I like the setting. The light from the window is pretty bright - maybe trying different times of the day, maybe in the evening leaning sideways over the counter preparing a cup of tea... all sorts of possibilities!

Possibly one of the best kitchens ever. I'd crop about half of the left out to remove some of the extreme brightness. I'd crop the right at the angle of the countertop. I'd crop the top at or just above the top of the window. And in the second, unless that's the limit of the image, I'd back out just a hint to not cut off your heel. And I applaud you finding such a very attractive model. I hope there will be more of this work.

I like the self portrait, both of them. I also like the full view of the kitchen area. I would ignore the cropaholics because even though it might make sense, but tend to like the as is shot because you are sharing the scene and area which to me means more. Oh, by the way, you look lovely.

I can't decide on which I like better. I find both shots very appealing. I do like the handprint on the first, after all who hasn't managed to get flour on themselves when baking.
I love when environmental portraits are used in Boudoir Photography, it adds to the story telling.
I found both to be creative and very lovely. I hope we'll see more of your work soon.

Yea Jim, I agree. This type of imagery is natural and real and I like because it is a snapshot of a natural setting.
Keeping it real. I hope she presents more.
