I like them very much. I assume they were all wide open? I would suggest a little bit of a stop down. It seems in several of the shots the focus is more on the front of the clothing than the face. Putting the lens at f2 or f2.8 may leave a little bit more wiggle room with the focus and still leave that characteristic bokeh. That being said, some of the shots are fantastic and the focus is spot on. Nice job!
