The boomiess comes from:

a) Recording in cardiod- try it in omni which will smooth out the bass peaks. The room will come into question though(look at "B").

b) The room- Is the room reflective? Is it small? Are you getting reflections of the glass? All these things contribute to the boomines.

c) Finally ...compression - Are you recording with compression?
Compresssion can be a big culprit. Try recording without it. The only thing is she better have a decent mic technique and you will have to ride the send.
