Jean, I like the props in general, but I have two points to make. One is a question: what is the big pink tube on the floor?

The second is an observation: the white fabric on the floor will make all kinds of possibly undesirable reflections around her lower legs and feet. Typically we want the light to emphasize the face in a full length portrait and have it fall off to more darkness at the extremities.

I think you'll end up fighting against all that white on the floor which will bounce light off everything near it and it will work against keeping your focal point (the face) strong.
