Peer Review...

Matt, while you work in the glamour genre I only shoot fashion/beauty so my ability to critique is limited to only beauty... Trust that this makes sense...

This is an enchanting beauty rendering of a charming talent....

Lovely color harmonies latent within...
And excellent floral accessorizing of Stephanie's hair style...
And while you claim to be a natural light shooter I find the back-lighting with sunlight and complimentary fill flash a masterful illumination scenario... beautiful done... 
My only issue is with the unnatural elongation of her arms owing to the refraction effective of the aqueous medium. Also the vignette is a tad strong i.e. looks added in post (or a very optically challenged lens). Moving forward typically less is more when it comes to vignette...

What could have been done to improve? Possibly hands on waistline or hips?
This could/would have allowed for a tighter vertical crop to better showcase her radiant smile and delightful facial features...

Matt, consistent excellence comes with seasoned tenure... There are compelling reasons why Marines can dissemble/resemble their M4 in absolute darkness. Handle you kit until you no long think but do...  Your primary mission is to concentrate only on what is immediately in your viewfinder... Everything else needs to be at a reflex level... Experience is a brutal teacher here...

Best advice? Assist other commercial shooters in your market. In my humble estimation there is no better way to master your craft... This has been my path and I grow my skill set by orders of magnitude with each and every assisting gig...

Hope this helps or is at least food for thought...
I wish you well on your journey Matt
