Yes, I did it once in my career and it turned out OK.

I, like you, was VERY skeptical of doing it.  The only thing that gave me some comfort is that she was well known in the community.  The circumstances of her request also increased my hesitation.

This happened about a year ago.  I had contacted her the day before and we set everything up for the next day.  Once the next day came and I got close to the location I txt her and called her a couple of times and no response.  I figure standard NCNS and/or overbook situation.  I begin my search for a replacement and she txt me that she was out running and was back and ready at the hotel.  Aaaaahh OK.

Then she asks for verification via reference.  I say huh, really.  Too late for that and why DIDN'T you ask for it yesterday?!?!  She says "sorry" and we can do alternative with picture ID and business card sent via txt.  At this point it became a challenge to me as I thought she figured I would not do it and simply cancel appointment.  I say "fuck it" and send the info.  She responds "fine, come on over."  I get to her location and it turned out to be a 9/7 session as her performance did not meet the hype of her advertisement.  

I probably would NEVER do that again regardless of how comfortable the provider made me feel in doing it!!!  Providers are fickle and stuff sent digitally last FOREVER!!!!!

However, if the situation is making you uncomfortable now. I would ask the lady to delete your information, and not see her. If you go into with anxiety, your asking to be disappointed.

I'm a smallfry compared to some of you big players here, but I would never, EVER, give out my photo for screening. I'd rather give out my real name, SSN, and home address before photo. Once you send out your photo, it has too much potential to leave copies around everywhere and it's pretty much impossible to retrieve it. Who knows it might turn up 10 years, 20 years later? Who knows your family/friends/LE/employer/enemy might run into it?

I had a provider ask me to send a photo AFTER she screened me, on route to the hotel, so she can "recognize me". I said no way, and gave her a description of me and what I'm wearing. Once I arrived at the location, she makes me wait 30 monutes, and texts me she had a "family emergency" and had to leave 1 hour ago.  Whatever.

If someone has elected to screen with his personal information i.e. name, Linkedin account, employment information, etc. chances are I've already seen a photo of him that way.

I will sometimes ask for another more casual photo to help me confirm that the photo of the guy on Linkedin that he's claiming to be is the same person I'm talking to.

I would never require it as part of regular screening though.

When I first began doing this I require a face picture and..

Although it turned some men off of me, many others were willing to oblige. I did this along with a litany of other redundant screening techniques but I didn't know any other way.  One man said it was easier to get a home loan than a date with me lol. My hard screening was eventually seen as a  commitment to discretion and safety and , I feel, it helped me become more established. Now, I've streamline the process but I still ask my potential pals to provide either a face pic,a  link to social media site like LinkedIn or Facebook , or a detailed self description. Of course,  there is a risk associated with submitting you photo no matter who you see but, by doing your research and entrusting your precious info only with reputable ladies, you'll lessen the chance of having a bad experience.  Happy Hobbying!

You're Kidding right?

I have never and would not ever provide pictures, places of employment, etc to any provider.  Are you completely clueless to the risks associated with that.  Granted, most of our ladys our cool and can be trusted to a degree, but the only thing that needs to happen is she get popped by LE and then suddenly all that verification info is available.  And even is she did delete it from her computer, unless she is savvy enough to have the right software, that info can be easily recovered, not to mention the email trail that is left behind.

You guys need to think with your bug head instead of the little one.

Thanks!
I think I have good feedback to make a decision.

... lol if anything I get people sending pics without my asking so a little funny to see some guys go HELL NO. I don't require a pic as part of screening (optional).

NO MOTHER FUCKING WAY. I would never ever see a girl like that.

What the fuck is she thinking?  Providers already have a lot of leverage over us with our personal info and shit.   No way in HELL I would give any more leverage than they already have. Fuck that shit

so if she has my name, the pics are just a step away. No way for me to change that, except to avoid giving out my last name or mentioning anything about what I've done in my life. Makes for boring conversation. Therefore, I don't overly worry about it.

I dunno, after reading some of the comments here, maybe I should be more careful, but I have often sent my picture to providers as part my introductory email.  They've never asked for a picture, but several providers have responded that they really appreciated that I included it.

And not to toot my horn or anything, but I once included my picture in an email to a very high-end, somewhat well known VIP provider ($1,000 + / hour).  I told her that I probably couldn't afford the $1,000 / hour rate, but that I was a bid fan of hers and that I would like to see her someday.  Anyways, she responded immediately, told me she appreciated my email and liked my picture, and offered me a session at less than half her normal rate.

A picture of what?

Which body part?

So I can be turned on and slightly creeped out at the same.  Interesting combination.
