One think I have learned with lighting is to feather it. Don't aim it right at her face but just slightly in front or behind and let the light fall on her. Your are doing great with your lighting.

I love your image. Parisian in style, beautifully lit and well cropped.
Good luck

fill in the shadow ...

put a reflector on the other side, and see how you like it

may be even a wall, you can play with the distance to vary the intensity of the fill

Patience of the model is what usually runs out, she has a great natural expression,
something I have managed to get also from my wife and daughter, and something i struggle badly when
I'm in front of the lens.

this photo is my favorite of the challenge

Truly lovely portrait of a lovely young lady. I bet you are missing her right now -- the first couple weeks can be tough -- sometimes on both sides. Skpe is a good tool. Your lighting skills are coming right along. Just what the rest of us here need -- for Wendy to have another tool in her camera bag.

Lovely image of a very pretty young lady. Maybe one day this will be her favourite photo of herself.
Congrats on the HM.
