The best thing you can do starting out as a model is work with a really stellar photographer to build your portfolio.  Sometimes this requires paying someone, but it's really worth it.  If you have higher quality photos, you'll have a better shot of being able to shoot TF with better photographers.  A few other types:

1.  Attention to detail in hair, makeup and wardrobe styling is important.  Find  makeup artist or have a friend who is good at makeup help you out.  Learn about makeup and hIrstyling on forums.  Having a professional do your hair and makeup whenever possible, it will up the quality of your photos a ton. 

2.  Learn posing from magazines and websites with posing tips.  Practice in the mirror as much as possible. 

3.  Find a more seasoned model who can be your mentor.  He/she can give you feedback and tips.  And can refer to the better photographers.

Good luck, you have potential!

There are only two images in your portfolio that you should keep.

Miss S certainly gave you some words o' wisdom, and very useful info to help move your modeling along  .  .  .  as of now, I think I'd keep the second and third images you have up, and then start adding new, and better images as you create them  .  .  .  learning your angles, and self presentation are essential to really grab a viewers eye  .  .  .  try different styles, and see what really interests you, then dive into that look, and master it  .  .  .  nice start, hope it goes well for you  .  .  .

But just one worthless opinion.    smile
