Practice practice practice, the more you do, the more you'll see what the light does.
I know placing catch lights in eyes is done in P.S. one must study where the light is coming from before placing catch lights, but, if done right in lighting, no worries in P.S. right ?
Your light is at Models Left, the catch light is at Model's right.
I personally and in my opinion would rather see "Natural" catch lights, I find Sharp catch lights in eyes done in P.S. too fake.
As for the kind of lighting, IE butterfly etc. try all kinds, see what works best on her.
Look for Ed Shapiro Lighting Essays here on the forum he also has some on poses etc.
Better yet, look for any of Ed's responses to postings, you'll find a wealth of info.
