5 & 17 - all are good, as always, but those are my faves

I love #3 the best. If you cropped the left side a little, it would enlarge them and make them stand out a little more. Nice set.

You are awesome with your posing and getting those connections with your couples. I see where you are going with your editing style and I like a lot, but your WB is so inconsistent. If you look through your set again as a whole, you will see that the girls skin tones are different in almost all of the images. When I shoot in backlighting, such as some of your shots above, I will spot meter on the skin and overexpose a full stop. This generally gets me pretty close to where I need to be in PP. The less I have to mess with skin in PP, the better results I generally have. I think you have mad compositional skills, I would just like to see more cohesiveness.

Great CC here. I will definitely have to try what you recommend for shooting in backlit situations. Thanks very much for your critique!
