I know you Guys & Gals have your act together the question is do I?

First... most of us around here don't quite have our act together yet.  We are all in varying degrees of preparedness.  Second, you don't have your's together either. 

As other posters have mentioned, you have a beautiful daughter but her images placed with half naked home town honeys do not a portfolio make.  The more "modeling" type of images all lack one key element and that is the quality of your light.  The light sucks.  You'll be far better off starting with window light and a reflector right now until you can "see" good light.

I agree with Paul in that it is time for study more than shooting for you.  Get a book on simple portraits without lighting and work on one thing.  Move to the next when you grasp the first one.

And what I always ask... What is your final goal?  What is your mountain top?  Are you wanting to shoot spreads for national magazines?  Or do you want to shoot books for local upcoming models?  What are you trying to accomplish?

Cheers,
