I can't give you critical feedback, I've not shot studio portraits before, but it looks darn good to me. Her pose looks a tiny bit awkward, but her face is relaxed and genuine. Very lovely :)

C&C? Ok, but you asked! First you need to smooth out the flyaway hairs, especially the ones at the top of the head. They appear to be very sharp and give an odd look. Second, your lighting seems to be really harsh on her right side giving the white of the eye and the cheek a blown appearance. Also, this creates a harsh shadow separation between her breast and her shirt that's not flattering.

Now the props, lol! She a very pretty woman and you caught a beautiful smile. The pose is very natural and relaxed. Overall, nice job!

Nice low morning light and I like how it's hitting just the one side of his face. His relaxed look really makes the shot.

LOL! You might not want to tell that as a good-night story - could bring on nightmares, with the tomato sauce and all.
