Right - nice captured on all of these.
What aperture are you shooting at? I'm still trying to find the best aperture for my portraits (I know there's no perfect aperture) - I'm still normally shooting at f/4 as I like to blur the background but sometimes f/4 is still a touch too narrow and there's too much of the subject OOF..
Anyway:
#1 - Could maybe be a touch brighter? And, the background is maybe too much in focus
#2 - This I like - nice capture and composition. Background works well - eyes nicely in focus
#3 - Nice pose although maybe the bag is distracting and would maybe look more natural if she didn't have those woolly socks on!
#4 - Yes - this is nice although maybe the background could be a little more blurred (I can see the creases in your backdrop).
All good shots - I'm very jealous you have the space to work like that

Thank you John...highly appreciated! 
They all could be a tad brighter...excuse: I used two BenQ Monitors when I did these...now on my calibrated EIZO I see all what I have done wrong at that time...the normal office monitors are way too bright.
Exif #1 : f25, 1/160s, Iso 200, 240mm focal length
Exif #2 : f25, 1/160s, Iso 200, 170mm focal length
Exif #3 : f22, 1/160s, Iso 200, 80mm focal length
Exif #4 : f25, 1/160s, Iso 200, 140mm focal length
All taken with D700 and Nikkor 70-300mm
...and 'Oh yes, the socks!' suck!

Wow! You're shooting at f/25 - no wonder they are all in focus.
Do you ever shoot at a wider aperture for a narrower depth of field or do you prefer everything in focus?
-
anyone else hear that?
frex,
What are you using for your light kit?
Were you using (or do you use) a light ring for the first two shots?
Nice work...
Love like you've never been hurt, live like there's no tomorrow and dance like nobody's watching.

It's all about the lens...I love to 'stay away' from the models, means I am not bulldozing them...this is giving more confidence if your model is not use to a photographer creeping into her nose

Yes I do shoot in wider aperture...depends on what I/we want

No ring light!
Mostly a 250 studio flash, umbrella reflected sometimes and a piece of styrofoam to lighten the dark areas.
I do like our big Hensel Hazylight which is giving a well balanced light.
I can drag it down and swing it in any direction...
