You may be using your best image already, who doesn't enjoy two women kissing?  Your actual best images are not going to pass the censors criteria for posting but I encourage all to go check out her port.  I found one other that I think gets the theme of your port across without revealing too much so I thought I would at least share it.  You have probably used it in the past but this one

would definitley bring all the boys (and most of the girls) to the yard!

Thank you for the positive critique. Yes, I have used that one as an avatar. smile It is frustrating that my best photos are inappropriate.  Oh well.

Happy Holidays!

You have a very nice collection of work Hillarie!  It's hard to find one that wouldn't be a good choice but I have to say that this is my personal favorite and one that should make anyone want to see more

I am sure you have used it before but you should make sure you rotate it in from time to time.  If only you lived closer...

Hello Jennifer!  You just made it wink
I like the shot where it looks like you are crawling towards the camera and I can see your knees and face, cute, sultry and sexy all at once!  That being said, this is my ultimate favorite

As stated above, you look gorgeous and the blue is a brilliant color that really stands out and grabs the viewers attention.  Thanks for the opportunity, it is a pleasure to meet you.  Merry Christmas and God bless!

You have more revealing shots that are bound to drive traffic through your port but this is the best in my humble opinion

The colors are bold, the model is beautiful and the lighting adds a rich quality to the images.

You have a lot of great images that can't be used for an avatar and that's a shame but I kept being drawn back to this one when I was looking through your port

You don't have a lot in your port yet, keep working and fill it out!  Of the ones you have I think this is a good representation

You have beautiful shots in your port and I really do like your current avatar, it represents your port well. I think that this image
https://modelmayhm-4.vo.llnwd.net/d1/photos/091103/17/4af0d31e9b4c7.jpg
would be an asset to use as your avatar though.  It is bright, beautiful and bold; it commands attention.  You have probably used it before as it has a lot of views and comments so changing it up a bit is a good thing but never take it out of the rotation, it can only help you get attention.

I think it kind of depends on what direction you want your port to go in.  What I mean by that is, you have some sweet, cute pictures and then you have the nudes.  I like diversity and range so having both is fine but I would shoot for some more middle of the road shots in the future, something sexy but not revealing because you can't use revealing images for your avatar, at least not completely revealed wink  This one is a good example of that
https://modelmayhm-9.vo.llnwd.net/d1/photos/090723/13/4a68c29470644.jpg
It shows the sex appeal you are shooting for with the nudes but doesn't reveal too much.  Go for some more of these and give yourself more options.  Also, just a helpful suggestion, make the file sizes for your pics as large as you can; I think there is a 500k size limit on here.  This allows for better resolution and better pic quality.  Anyway, keep it up!

The one you are using now is perfect but in a week or two you will probably want to move on from sexy Christmas and get back to rocking the hot shots in the rest of your port.  I would go with this one

I have no clue why she isn't commented on much but this is a spectacular shot and it should bring in traffic by the boatload.

Personally I like your current avatar, I would keep it if I were you.  If I were to pick an alternative I would go with this one though
https://modelmayhm-2.vo.llnwd.net/d1/photos/081220/23/494df25e5230e.jpg
So strong and bold, truly artistic.  I am sure you have used it before, it is a bit too obvious but either way consider rotating it in every once in a while.

This one is a combination of the dark and strong images you have and the tantilizing as well.

Your port presents a problem... which is not to say that's a bad thing!  You have precocious little kid photos which is excellently represented by your current avatar, the kid is adorable!  But you also have adults and some sexier images as well.  When I see the little boy I assume you photograph children primarily so I would personally pass.  On MM I wonder how much traffic that is going to get you and the avatar is all about generating traffic.  Most people on here aren't children (we just act like it) and aren't looking for childrens photographers really so I would suggest going in this direction
https://modelmayhm-5.vo.llnwd.net/d1/photos/090321/23/49c5ddd53f9cd.jpg
I don't know if you might want to consider opening a second profile just for childrens images, just a thought.

How can anyone suggest you use anything other than Tony Bennett...unless they tell you to use BB King instead?

Most of your port consists of the shilouette style that you are currently using so that is a good choice but I would also suggest this one

It is easily recognizable and still sexy.
