Congrats on making your first website for a client.
The site looks indeed clean and seems to "respond" well (as in RWD).
A couple of suggestions:
Simple, clean and organized. Great job! Some good advice in the comments, but if your sister is happy with it, then mission accomplished! Best of luck!
Why is the Blog just her instagram pictures? Other than that, I agree with Raffaello about trying to bring more of her personality/style into the overall design (without over doing it).
Why use the carousel to go sideways instead of going down? I feel like there should be more on the page when I scroll down. I would drop the carousel and instead arrange all the images underneath each other.
Really nice and clean!
Couple of thoughts:
Half of the work sample row is cut off by the "fold" on my 13" MBP on the homepage. Consider cutting down the vertical whitespace used in the nameplate on the homepage or Use that space for an additional product shot, and overlay the name on top or form a grid where there's a product image tile both to the left and right of the name, but not behind it
On your contact page, there's the opposite problem - it needs more vertical room above the header (make it consistent with the other pages)

What's "below the fold" on your computer/device may be "above the fold" on others. It'd be better to use Media Queries and change the layout based on the available width/height.
Sure, I realize that we all browse on different devices. It looks like the site is pretty responsive actually, but the slightly excessive whitespace I mention is still present on my iPhone.
