I agree with Walt.  A great start.

A comment or two.  Juliet should make friends with the
healing brush.  In glam shots like these, the skin has
to be perfect.  Small blemishes are too noticable in
the lollipop photo.  I'd probably take out the tattoos
in the other photos.  Back in the day, they weren't a
part of this style of photography.
