Mid day harsh sunlight is tricky shooting for portraits.
Tell me about it.........

No. 1-2 look great, 3-4 you got shadows from the sun. Best time to shoot outdoor portrait's is early morning or late afternoon.

I am no pro by any means but maybe a little less sun. Other than that the photos are great.

I like the poses.
One #2 have her do something else with the one hand so we are not seeing the back of it.
On the last, either give more space above her head or crop more off.
It's hard to tell from these shots, but to me it looks like too much smoothing.

I did airbrush her skin. Like all teenage girls, the day before her photos she "broke out"....... I always save the original photos so I wil try not to overdue the air brushing, thank you!

Not bad at all! Really like the first shot best, but all the poses are nice. I don't much care for her curled left hand in the second one, but not sure how you could deal with that easily, without either a tighter crop or Photoshopping in some fingers. As the others have mentioned, the lighting could be better, but it is what it is, unless you can find some shade, shoot at a different time of day, or load up on reflectors and off-camera flashes.
Still and all, I like them.

The sun often sounds like a good idea. With this much sun you really have to have it at her back (or just a tad on the side of the face) if its low enough.
With high noon sun it is better to find a shady area under an overhang. You can then use the bounced sun as a fill. Either with a reflector or a lighter colored floor surface.
