It's on CLARITY in portraits... the kind of portrait that faces look so crisp and smooth almost like you can wrap your hand around it. I know adult skin has flaws, but these pictures' skin looks flawless...I don't know if its 1. my limited knowledge 2. My camera 3. my lens or 4. Post processing

With respect to the photographer whose website you linked to as an example (Brooke Ashley), I would venture to guess she's achieved the quality and clarity you describe via:
1) full frame camera
2) high end lens, e.g., "L" glass
3) light modifiers
4) some post processing to touch up or airbrush out imperfections (e.g., the healing brush in Photoshop)
