The most exciting things about these are possibly the light setup:

I’m afraid I don’t have any pictures, but essentially it’s a four-lamp setup. There is a seamless white background and a flat white Dibond plate on the front part of the backdrop. 

Then two white V-flat’s on either side, and four lamps with umbrellas illuminate the background and, to a lesser degree, the side v-flats to create a bit of wraparound light.

I replaced the Dibond with a gloss white acrylic plate for the first image and lit it with a direct lamp head.

I like the first image, and the second and third are OK too, but seeing them after six years makes me want another go at a duo like this. I’m confident I can do this much better…

I would be interested in a workshop on how to light something like this! Although I don't actually own enough lights to pull it off.

Beautiful images as usual! Any specific challenges when working with or editing 2 women? Such as skin tones or hair color?

Working with is always challenging as there is a lot of psychology going one. Never devote more attention to one over the other, and make sure you observe intimate boundaries. It takes very little to make it uncomfortable if someone missteps and then the shoot will never work. As for editing, it can be an issue, especially if there is a difference and you don't want that.
