First one looks to me like just bright sunlight behind her!.
Second one, she took the brush tool, set the hardness to zero, the opacity kind of low, and clicked with different colors in a few spots to get the different colors!. Then, on a new layer, she probably just used the paint bucket tool to add a pattern over the whole image, and made it white and sort of transparent by setting the layer's blending mode to soft light or addition, something like that!.
Third one still doesn't show up!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I can't view most of them!. The one where she is making a frame with her fingers looks like a good deal of the effect is done with lighting!. I think she's standing on a brightly lit reflector!. The backlighting on her hands would be hard to do in editing!.

Why not message her and say "cool pix - how'd you do that!?"Www@QuestionHome@Com

her pictures are private!.
right click the picture, hit "properties", and then copy the URL to paste!. then we can see it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
