I might have used a reflector with her. (white cardboard will do!) her eyes seem to be a bit lost in most of the images. I think my fave is this one:
my editing was- levels adjustment, a curves adjustment shown here:
(I use this one a lot as an action to give images a little pop)
and then I selected the eyes and did some levels too. :0)

Left a few comments. Some overall recommendations:
1) You are right to focus on the eyes. But then after you focus, you need to recompose, keeping in mind the rule of thirds. What I see in a lot of photos is the face is dead-center in the middle of the image. With lots of sky above, very little body below. So focus on her face, press the shutter half way, then recompose for a better out-of-the-camera image. In the mean time, each of these images could be made more dynamic by cropping them appropriately.
2) Catch lights in the eyes help make them look alive. I do this a lot by simply turning my flash on even when outside. But you could also use a reflector. Or position her such that she is facing towards something light. Take a look at the images you have ... some of them have catch lights in her eyes and these look natural. That's the best (better than my use of a flash to get the same effect).

You have several excellent shots in there. Many need a hint of levels/curves, but as you mentioned, you have not editied them yet :)
