All the above camera info is great! I'm definitely all for reflectors, but from the glare on her skirt it looks like you were trying to utilize the little bit of shade that the tree had to offer on a really sunny day. Try finding a completely shady spot then using a reflector to highlight her face more or shoot at a less sunny time of day ie early mornings, late afternoons. I tend to agree with an above post about sticking to a head and shoulders shot if you are trying to get the hang of portraits...you have a lot more to work with, and the final product will feel more accomplished. hope that helps!!
