With studio lighting, i'd recommend pulling your lights farther from your subject. This way, there will be less falloff from the object nearest to the light to the objects farthest from the light. It makes the light feel more "even." It may mean you have to raise your ISO, but I think it is worth it.
Also, images tend to be more striking when you have some dark shadows. Your 4th image has nice darks, and it is the most aesthetically appealing shot to me.
The second and fourth shot are my favourites too
The room we were working in was pretty small, so there wasn't really any space to move the lights back, but thanks for the tip, I'll keep that in mind in the future.

Shots look candid, nice!
Thanks! I think it is, yeah. The girl in most pictures is a really great model though, she's incredibly comfortable in front of the camera
