Hey Paul,
New to portrait photography too, I started shooting it about a month ago. Welcome to Fstoppers.
I like the first shot a lot, she has a very genuine expression, the lighting looks great and the retouching on the skin is subtle and looks good.
The second photo I like as a fashion editorial, she has a good expression too and comfortable pose. It may be on the dark side, underexposed.
The 3rd and 4th I personally don't like. I think the 3rd has her skin blown out with no details. The 4th looks a little flat but might look better if it was cropped in a bit to take the empty space from above her head.
Great work being new to the genre.
Thank you!
Mike brings up some good points. I don't like the tight cropping.
