Your port is not run of the mill and I am impressed with your bw work where I see a balanced consistent highlights and shadows, beautiful figures and meaningful captures.
some of your work has vintage feel https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/16245392 +18

Hello Jeanne from Sunny Florida.
I kind of dream of palm trees and pinapple vodka cocktail on the beach big_smile

I know some photographers are crazy about yellow natural light hues in their photos. That may be the case for your last 5 photos in the bottom of the port which I am totally skipping because I don't like yellow sodium lights. smile
your beautiful figure shows well in this https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110307/22/4d75c9efa744d_m.jpg and probably the best framed, posed, and lighted one in the port.
Like the outfit and location in those series https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110307/22/4d75ca4e2d7be_m.jpg but your modeling is absent. You look tired or distracted, totally disconnected from camera.
Try to improve your poses and face expressions.
Beautiful figure is important but you have to put in your mind and your soul, and attitude into your work. No one want to work with someone who's just looking at the camera in a lifeless way. smile

thank you so much! Actually, my webpage that's linked from my MM profile has far, far more work in it. If it's not too much trouble (and it'd probably be best if you hit a few other requests here before you came back to me), perhaps you could suggest two photos off of it that could replace the ones on my MM port that you feel are weaker? I've been mulling it over quite a bit.

Also, I really like that you think my newest photo is actually my best. You may or may not realize how encouraging that is for me.

Hello Mickey
I like your port, your classy and sassy expressions
https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110329/18/4d9285c0d82cb_m.jpg captured mostly at amateur level stills.
I hate your hand bra pictures, seriously there are better ways to hide those assets. Besides some pictures don't let anything to imagination like this one https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/22276790
drop dead gorgeous, your best . listed.
I love your wild look here
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/22910293
you are such a gorgeous vixen.
I like your confidence in your poses and your body building is impressive.
You need a good pro photographer to harness all the passion and expression still locked up in you which is waiting to be unleashed.
added edit:
Jeff Fiore photos added a lot to your port.
Way to go.

well I looked at your site but it is a pain to link images to the forum. The one with  lamp shade on model's head was remarquable but I saw similar ones before elsewhere big_smile the steamboat wanna be (gas mask girl)  is actually good other then the tight cropping I did not like much. The other black model nude in red kimono is excellent. wink The one with the girl sitting in the suitcase, her pose is boring although technically photo is well done.

Heather, you are absolutely gorgeous and your nudes are beautifully done.
I find thishttps://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110421/12/4db07f60d0d40_m.jpg  very erotic story teller. your best and listed, I see there, grace and sensuality, your poses do not have static feel. Your fingers and other extremities are very well exposed and well posed in your pictures and I doubt it is just the photographer's skill to make you look good.
here is another outstanding nude boudoir https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/22546516 +18 it would have been better to look down a bit.
I love your venus like look here https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/21749825 +18 such beautiy with  voluptuous proportions is often painted on Italian and French murals in palaces and castles.
I would delete this one https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/22125333 your hair look bad, and do not add much to your port.
this is my fav https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/22546372 +18 listed
