*HINT* - When you are shooting a girl standing up and you have the lights set up for her height, be sure to lower the lights when she squats or lowers herself to the floor. That will keep light in her eyes and will ensure total body coverage of the light.

A little *sparkle* in the eyes (which is a reflection of your lighting in the models eyes - pros call this a "catch-light") will really make a difference in the look of the girl! This little technique that I showed to Joe @ Amacontent has really made a difference in his pics -

Yup, i know, i did a quick edit in ps and uploaded the pic.

When i gonna use em for web stuff im gonna work on the color balance and stuff.

This was also the last shot of the day and we did the set up really quick...no light check and stuff.

Im not into studio photography anyway, i prefer to shoot outside.
