...also feels a little tacky to me. If the lady offered...different story. But, I probably wouldn't ask. That's something that would be a nice surprise when she offered them up after you'd seen a lady a few times or something along those lines.
Brass tax...they cost money. And most of the ladies aren't showing up in the el-cheapo undergarments that come in a 6-pack from walmart or target. If I were looking for that kind of treatment from a lady...I'd start by treating her with the gift of a nice bra/panty set.
And by nice...I mean starting at Victoria's Secret, Frederick's, Venus Mystique...or...go really nice and pick something up at Agent Provocateur, Nancy Meyer, or Bella Bella, to really treat her to a nice surprise.
Doing something for her almost always means something nice for me

I like my response better. 
I have no problem with you saying "HELLl no!" and I would do the same if I was a provider, but I disagree with it being "tacky" just to ask. There are actually a lot of providers who are fine with clients taking pictures of them, and even videos. Some state as such on their websites, and some even charge extra for it. Many reviews also mention that photos were taken. However there are many more that allow it on a YMMV basis, and don't mention it on websites or anywhere. So without asking, how would a client know? I don't think it is tacky at all to ask the question, and I don't think it is tacky for a lady to answer, "fuck no! You can't!"
On the other hand if someone took a picture without asking permission, that would be tacky and down right disrespectful, and for that, having his cell phone or a high heel shoe shoved up his ass might be the appropriate response.
I have taken photos during dates with providers, for my own use only. I have never and would never share it with anyone on a website or by email, PM etc. Of course I realize the providers don't have control over that, and are taking my word for it. What I have done is email copies of all the pictures to the providers after the session and some of my photos have actually ended up on ads and websites! That was not expected but was a pleasant surprise when I see it.
In at least one case, I had read in one of her reviews where a guy took pics during the session, so I assumed it would be ok, but I asked in the beginning of the session before we got undressed if it would be ok if I took some souvenir photos. She said of course and actually started doing a strip tease and posing. In other instanses I asked in an email prior to the date, but after being screened.
Something simple like, “Would it be okay for me to take some pictures of you for my own use? Of course I totally understand and respect your decision if it is not okay.” If they say no, the topic never comes up again. If they say yes in a preliminary email, then I still ask again at the session. The ladies that have said no, have always respectfully said no, but I would not be offended by a “HELL no!” from the likes of Tobi. Any type of no and the topic is over. Of the ones who said yes it is usually more like, “Of course you can take photos of me!”
If it is something specific, like the guys who mention the sports jerseys etc., you could ask, “If I bring xxx for you to wear, can I take a picture of you in it?”
Now I havent asked every lady I have been with. Sometimes I feel like it and sometimes I dont. Also some that I have asked in a preliminary email who said yes, I still never took pics when we got together, either because I forgot, or just didnt get to it, or it just wanst important, at the time, with other more fun things going on.
The point is obviously to ask first if you want to do it, and even though Tobi thinks it is tacky to ask, and I respect her opinion, I dont feel that way, and I dont think most ladies are offended if you ask. They are not mindreaders and neither are we. The other point is obviously they are for your own use, so do not share them with anyone. (Except the subject of the photo, as in my case I sent them all copies. They can keep them or delete them or do whatever they want, but at least they know what I have.)

As you said it is subjective. But just to clarify my point, I think asking respctfully is not tacky. If you read my reply to Kinot right above, you will see that I have asked in email correspondence prior to the date (but after screening) so I dont see how that will risk the mood. If I had a yes with reservations I would not proceed. To me that is almost a no. An enthusiastic yes, on the other hand is a green light. Now someone busting out a camera (or phone) while the lady is underessing and asking, "Can I take a picture?" could definitley be offputting. I think the way it is asked and the circumstances could definitely be tacky in some instances, but the act of asking the question is not tacky. Anyway. That is my opinion and you and Tobi are certainly entititled to yours
I'm glad to see you not only agree with me that asking is not tacky, but you also agree about the boot in the ass for someone who tries without asking!
Tobi,
You've got to quit being so shy and introverted. Tell us what you really feel! 😜
Not saying you should go over there and post and advertise, but sometimes these kinds of sites are worth lurking on to see if someone is posting bad shit about you (or posting your pics). For the record, I don't know which site he is talking about, but I know of a few. Anyhoo, just saying it would be good for someone to PM you the site name, but it might nit becessarily be good to "avoid the shit out of it." i think all you gals should "monitor" all sites where there may be info about you. That doesn't mean "using" the sites, but just know what's out there.
I was just stoked to have a client who loves my team!
I have a client in Raleigh that books me for a 4-hour appt each time, and for 3.5 hours all we do is take pictures. Keep in mind that this guy is not a pro photographer--he's using a cheapy lil' digital camera--and I guess that is his 'fetish'. Some guys like feet and golden showers, and this client likes to take pictures.
From a client's perspective, if the lady blurs her face in her online photos, there is a high probability that she will not let you take pictures of her. But if her face is showing, then she just may let you snap a few photos.
Honestly, some of my best pictures have come from sessions with my clients.
)B) I never understood the golden shower fetish at all.
By the way, here's my MacBook's desktop... 
Way more participation than I was expecting. Well done Ohio.
What can I say...us Ohio chics know how to rock it
