Wow, for a first timer these are great. Critique: The hair light should be above and behind her aimed down and forward so it skims her hair only. In your images it is also illuminating her left cheek. The main light should be positioned so it will be on the same side of the face as the part of the hair. By positioning the main light here it will prevent shadows under the hair like in the above images. (Note the shadows on her forehead.) Long sleeves look best. The white upper arm draws the eye away from the face.
