If you could get your measurements down a smidgen you may do well here as a commercial plus model.
Please feel free to PM me if you would like some advice specific to the area; who to work with, who not to work with, etc.

Any CC is welcomed!
I'm new to photographing people and have just recently, in the past few months, I've been using my sb600 & softbox. What should I work on?

The only thing I don't like is this:

Completely out of place in an otherwise thoughtful, well crafted portfolio.

Your portfolio is okay- it's not bad at all, but it's also nothing to write home about either. While technically sound, it's a tad boring. See if you can connect with someone more experienced with studio lighting in your area so you can become more comfortable with it.

I'm definitely in the process of collaborating with new models to help me add some powerful photos to my port, as well as theirs.
Btw, your port is amazing!!

Your thoughts? GTFO out of here lady, you're awesome! 
The only complaints that I have:
Move the MM Zull and MM PoTD stuff to the bottom of your profile; it's not imperative or relevant to your work, so don't make clients/photographers work to find relevant info. Also, believe me, I know how important social networking is in this industry, but you have ways to connect with you listed twice on your profile.
Also, remember that just cause it's a tearsheet does not mean that it's a good image of you or makes you any more marketable. If it's not an image you would otherwise have in your book if it wasn't a tear, delete that shit; clients always choose the worst images anyways

I'll take your brutal thoughts. I have to scroll for an hour through picture to reach info in your bio. Don't make it that hard. Also, if you're going to have images on your profile, make sure to size them to fit the screen; I have to scroll down AND right? Pfffftttt.
If I were to cull your portfolio down to the best images, you would be left with about 20 images. Watch your cropping- there's a lot of missing limbs and crops at joints, and awkward/unflattering angles.
It could be my monitor, but a lot of your images seem to have hot spots, and some are way overly Photoshopped.
But seriously, it's the awkward cropping/framing that bothers me.
And while it may be cool she can do this, this is just no:

Your work is solid, and I freakin love your avatar. It is worth nothing that your stronger work seems to be with pro models.
