Great advice
Ignore the trolls not worth your time.
Kelis you have first class photos.  My fav is the white dress.
IMHO even prettier and more exoctic in person.
Especially when you stepped out of the gown.

First off, even if your photos were taken an hour ago, there will always be picture trolls looking for "updated" pictures, pictures showing a particular attribute that he needs to fully consider booking you, or whatever the latest excuse du jour is for this dude to snag pictures of you for his wank bank. Pay them absolutely zero mind.  
   
 That said though, you may want to consider getting new pictures, depending on your style. I've noticed some girls shoot an extensive portfolio of photos all during one shoot, and may use different sets from that same shoot throughout the year.  
   
 I personally enjoy creating artistic photos, and so I shoot constantly. Once or twice a week is usual for me. Only a very small fraction of my photos ever end up on my site or anywhere beyond my computer though... not just because of the sheer number of photos I have, but because many are not the mainstream glamour type shots that seem to get the most attention on the ad and photo boards. I'm much more likely to be photographed rising out of a foggy swamp or crawling around an abandoned building than I am to be posing among sensuously rumpled bedsheets.  
   
 Most of my shoots are not extensive though - I begin with no agenda, and basically just see what I get at the end - probably unlike the shoots that you did last August. Those are great, but you may want to fill in the gaps with some quick concept shoots. They're a fun way to try out new photographers, and explore new ideas.

How often do YOU feel a lady should get a photo shoot?  

I was contacted by a gentleman yesterday who requested I show him more recent photos? Ugh, I just had 2 photos shoots done by a reputable photographer when I started in August 2014. Which by the way averages out to 2 photo shoots done within the year.  

Is it really time for a photo shoot?  

Ladies how often do you get your photo shoots done?  

Gentlemen how often do you think a lady should get new photos?  

Be nice with response. Please! LOL!

regularly, and when something significant changes.

I personally like to see a set of pro-quality pics that are a year or so old, or less. Supplement with a few good quality non-pro pics every 3 or 4 months or when something major changes and I think most guys would be fine.  

What is a major change? Perhaps a radical change in hair style, boob job (lol), too many possibilities...

A history of pics over several months and years tells us a lot. Maybe snap a selfie or have a friend snap a shot or two every other month; no need for big photo shoot fees all the time. We can spot pics that are overly-shopped and glammed up anyway. Have a friend take a look at them and make sure they really do look like you (a guy's honest opinion might be a good idea; we'll tend to see them differently than your gal friends might).

I'll say that anyone who isn't satisfied with what I just suggested isn't going to be satisfied no matter what you do - we've all heard from them time and time again.

Keep it simple and honest, and all is good!

More than 2x a year seems a pinch excessive to me tho unless you're like a legit model or something.

Edit: or if a surgery has clearly and/or drastically changed your look (boobs, ass etc).

Honestly, my last pro pics were done in spring of 2013, but I look exactly the same... Except my hair. However, when I advertise, I usually mix in a few selfies or recent non pro pics, just to show I'm real. I've literally never had an issue or a walkout due to not having the same hair color or old pics
