My only caution/criticism is to not overly post-process the skin and do the thing that so many bad photogs do on MM by making the skin look too porcelain-like. Make sure you keep some of that skin texture in the face so the pores are still somewhat visible (Blur the red channel in PS as it will soften the image while not overly softening the skin). Otherwise, beautiful and wonderful image.
