I am not a photographer, but I think that if you could clear up the background in the last 2 pics, they would look better(I don't know if this is possible or not). 1st pic(sunset) is by far my favorite.
Keep up the good work Josh

First shot looks great to me, the others look like there is too much flash, she looks artificially bright. I know you are trying to highlight her, but it just looks strange to me. Very nice shots though, and she's cute

Lighting for the first 2 seems a little harsh, for the mood of the photos. She looked like she was blasted with a spotlight.
I'm not a fan of the location of the last 2 photos
First 2 pics are the best!

You stripped your EXIF data so I dont know what your setting was but was any of these shot at 200 f2.8 at all? If not, why not? That 70-200f2.8IS is amazing, you should have been able to easily separate your background from you subject.
My favorite are #1, love the choice to keep the background and #5, but wish you could have separated the background from the model more.
2,3,4 ....lighting is too harsh for me.

1/250
f/7.1
ISO 100
70mm focal length
i couldnt open up anymore without blowing it out, i darkened it quite a bit i pp. i think the only way i could get a better DOF is if i would have stepped back and used all 200mm of zoom
Watch the models arms in 1, 2, and 3. You want a little bend in them. The camera really exaggerates hyper-extension. It's not too bad in 4 & 5 because of the pose.
Move the light away from the model. If you double the distance between the light and the model, you'll lose 1-stop or half of the light.
