There's a couple of nice shots in your port, I like the cowboy-sunset and the folklorico dancer shots, but I don't see major potential.

Lovely long lines, beautiful face... Portland is not a market that will allow your potential to flourish, imaging how busy you'd be in NY!!!:-)

A sweet, lovely innocence, with a smoldering fire just below the surface!! Amazing potential!! But in the Netherlands can your potential really be realized?

There is a place for you in Alt. Modeling, mainstream, not so much.

You have a great face, nice shape... There's potential there but you're going to have to put allot of work to get people to see it. You will NOT be "discovered" here on MM. You need to pound some pavement and knock on some doors for that. And don't even think about high fashion runway, not gonna happen at 5'6"!!

I am definitely going for Alt, no doubt about that. If I took out my piercings & were, oh, 10-12" taller, might be different. Ha. Thank you! smile I do appreciate it.

There really isn't enough for me to tell from your port. Please stick with one, not too crazy, hair color, funny colored hair almost never matches a photographers idea of what he wants to shoot.

Beautiful face, nice shape, lots of hair (looking a bit dry in a few shots) some good posing, but the "I'm a little teapot" shot has to go! At 5'6" high fashion is not gonna happen. I've  said that allot of times, I know, but the fashionistas are a damn picky lot!!

I like your look, allot of your posing is rather cliche, do some posing in a full length mirror, or better in a dance studio for the corner angles. The ear gauging thing needs to stop!!! I can not express how horrible that is to 99% of the population. In a business situation, I would never hire someone with guaged ears for any position where they would be in contact with the public. Sorry about the rant, but it is truly revolting.

I like the way you use light, there is some great composition work in there. There are a couple of clunkers, but mostly nice stuff. Your avatar is nicely done, but right on the edge of being one that would normally keep me from looking at your port, hut that's just my guttural aversion to Nekkid doodz!!:-)) great potential shown!!

When I have up the two professional shoots I did the last two weekends it will be more fair! But how do you feel just by what I have up? Anything I should delete, that is possibly hurting me?
Thanks for your time!

There are some interesting shots in your port, I like some of the treatments, but there are some snapshots in there that need to be deleted. The down blouse shot is so washed out! It's better to have 5 great shots than 100 shots with 5 good ones mixed in.

A natural for pinup!! Keep the hair all one color. Maybe just a tiny bit of extra work on muscle tone. Great potential for lots of pinup work!!:-)
