Very nice port - I would put a few more of B&W nudes from your website into MM. You could also weed out a couple of existing ones in here.

Coming back to business - I would pay you $75/hr

Not to far off.  Not so far as event photography is concerned at any rate and that's the only thing I shoot where I actually charge a standard and hourly rate.  My hourly rate for event coverage is currently $93.75 an hour.  That's when shooting alone and with no other shooters assisting me or no projected overtime for any assistants/subcontractors that I might need. (Most jobs I can do alone and I rarely hire a subcontractor.) 

In this area a subcontractor is typically paid a flat rate regardless of how long they work.  If the rate is $150 or $225 a day that's what they get whether they work for 3 hours or 8 hours.  My subcontractors do however draw over time of $71.25 and hour. I only work one event a year where this applies.  As the primary shooter I do not draw overtime.

Everything else depends on the job at hand.  Some jobs pay well others don't.  It's up and down.  Though clients are not charged by the hour, some jobs, when licensing is counted can be as much as $400+.  It really all depends on the situation and job at hand.  You never really know till you find the job, set the terms and come to an agreement.

My best gig, by far,  for 2013 tax year paid just over $15,000.  My worst paid $85.

As a freelancer I do not shoot everyday.  I'd like to but that's just not the way it works.  I may work 10 days a month or I may only work 2.  In the end that's life in the slow lane and something I've come to live with.

Beautiful face, lovely figure. You are well suited for both print and ramp modeling. More so in Ramps in my mind. I would pay you $125/hr.

You have sharp features and a prominent jaw line which essential for Print models. Build a diverse port on TFCD first - you will soon be making money with your unique looks.

Thank you for the advice!

Good Port. $60/hr

Sure why not

Hi Blonde:
You are beautiful with a nice figure. Your port is good but not great that it will make one come again and again. Add some diversity in your port. I will like to see some improvements in the expressions as well.

I would still pay you $65/hr. Can be much higher if you can improve on the above.

You are pretty girl - but a model should give her vital stats for people to hire them. A stats of Bust: 0" Waist: 0" Hips: 0 - does not help. ALso your expressions need to improved quite a few notches.

I shall suggest TFCD first as you develop further.

I have only had 3 photoshoots so I don't think I am ready to charge but I would like to know for fun

YOu have a naturally expressive and beautiful face but Your port needs improvement - need diversity, you do not have anything indoors. A non-nudity clause reduces your payments potentials. I would suggest you continue on TFCD for now.

Anna - Beautiful concepts. But you need to build your port further. I am inclined to say TFCD but you show lot of promise.

Well, thank you:)

I went back to your port and then to your blog - not that I understand the language, but the pictures are very impressive - especially your B&Ws. You need to restructure your MM port. Pictures like this one, however satisfying they may be to you, creates doubts in the viewers mind https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/37291409

You have outstanding potentials.
