I have long said that in boudoir shots the hands are very critical. Occupying the hands and posing them is well done here; she has beautiful long fingers/hands. attractive lady well shot

Potentially good shots, but I'm not a fan of the background in the first three images and they're cropped too tightly for my taste. When the animal print is added in the one image it really detracts. I think that red outfit would look much better against white or light gray paper. I also would have included the feet on the last image unless she was wearing combat boots.

I agree with the comment on the animal print being distracting. Maybe allowing more of it into the photo (assuming the photo was heavily cropped) would help give it a more solid presence.

My pet peeve is the face-straight-on pose. It makes the face “flat” & uninteresting. That pose also only works for the “symmetrical” face; & there are few of those around. Inexperienced models always take this pose because that’s what they’re used to (with family snaps, etc.). It’s up to us to direct them to turn & tilt their heads.
The last shot looks like she’s getting ready to jump out of chair. I think if the right shoulder were relaxed, she would look relaxed as well.

All poses look "forced" to me, which then draws more attention to the other problems, like her stomach sticky out in first shot, etc. Maybe working at relaxing her and suggesting better poses, with further back will help. Many are "called" to modeling, but not all are models.

3 of the images have a blank stare which ruins the whole scene as far as I'm concerned. The one with the smile looks good.

Very nicely done, the seated pose is my favorite. The others were very nice but the costumes didn’t compliment her figure. Thanks for sharing them.

A couple from our last studio shoot.
My 2 cents. The technical quality is excellent. The model is very pretty. I don't care for any of the poses.

Bret, these are exquisite shots of a very beautiful woman. My only suggestion would be to have Heather smile more often. In the 1 shot with a smile she looks much better. The other 3 seem to have a bland look.

The real question is, how does she feel about them? Have you critiqued them together? What have been the conclusions? It’s with that information that you work together on a 2nd session, fix & improve the first shots. Have you been able to do that?

I think this is a great point. I've have trouble working with a model that is not "a natural" and thankfully this has only happened to me a couple of times. I'm wondering if the OP, who has contributed many good photos here, is like me in that regard. We have a model here that is much more attractive than this batch of photos. If you're behind the lens. how do you go about fixing this and is it even possible mid session?
I might add that the results from this previous post are much better
