I appears she had something in mind and spent quite some time preparing. Tell us what you think, what works for you and what fails to work.
she looks strong in the first, vulnerable, even scared in the second; both impressive as photographic craft, but my critique would be more about what is conveyed:
the first looks more posed in expression, perhaps a little too tense, and would be more interesting for me with a little of the vulnerability (maybe not quite head on vantage point, or eyes not directly into camera)
in the second there is a conflict between her expression and the slightly overwrought costume; i would consider reducing the illumination below the shoulders, or even a less striking outfit to avoid distracting from that vulnerability
of course if she's wanting that look of strength, you could pretty much invert my suggestions, and maybe make a more active pose in the second, though i doubt they'd be as compelling to me personally
