it sets an alarm in my head. I don't know why. I know... I know... the ladies are putting themselves out there in the first place. I understand.  

Maybe I'm shy or cautious. And maybe I'm wrong about this but when a provider asks for a photo (which has only happened two or three times in my ten years in the hobby) I'd rather pass. Maybe I'm just a jerk.

I have been asked a couple of times.  One time I said no, she still agreed to see me.  The second time I reluctantly did, I'm surprised I did, I probably won't again.

If you're married, you're right to be cautious, but if you're single, yes,, you may be a jerk.  LOL

Seriously, I only allow photos with girls that I have been a regular with for several months and who have demonstrated that they can be trusted.  If they seem at all infatuated, stalker-ish, or overly greedy to the point that they might try to use the photo for some type of financial leverage, then I would refuse.  One way to tell is to ask her to send a photo to you first.  If she refuses, then you get off the hook, too.  If she agrees, she is trusting you and you can probably trust her.  At least this approach has worked for me for a number of years when faced with the same question.

I sometimes ask for a photo, but its only if its a newbie or someone who does not have p411/datecheck and/or belong to any review boards..

Is this for a photo of just you or you with her ? Either way, I would think it is kinda odd unless you are unusually good looking, super wealthy and or famous.  
I have a collection of gents photographed for DATY contests but those don't really apply. None of them are wealthy or famous enough to extort for their sweaty forehead shots or would find far too much pride in my exposure of them.  
Either way, when it comes to photos it all seems like a lose lose.

IMO you would be insane if you did this. You can exchange things like this with a provider once you know and trust them and vice versa. Why not just invite her to follow you on Instagram?

I have seen / met her at a m&g to remind her who she talked to.
