I would say that you are definitely headed in the right direction. You might want to drop some of the older images and some of the ones that are redundant such as these:

As you get better images replace the ones that aren't so great with them. You also shouldn't have more than a couple, three at the most of the same theme, outfit, location, etc...

Keep up the good work.

You have some great shots. 
IMO... pick a number of images you want, say 25, and then take out the weakest when you have a better 1. 
Use shots that show you vs. background things like waterfalls.  A few are OK but have most shots that are "tight".  Hope your are having fun ;-]

Thank you for the advice, I definitely will be trading out, I have a shoot sunday so I'll be able to add more! Take out the weaker ones.

I really like the top row in your port! You look more relaxed and confident in them!

I don't know what your goals are in modeling, but seeing how you are a fitness instructor, I would love to see some "fitness model" photos in your port.

I think you would be a great "fitness" model!  smile

I am not trying to bust your bubble or anything.  I do like your look, you look great but those images just don't do it for me....Work with better photographers is the best thing you can do...
