I have only posted a few times on the TER boards, most times asking about providers and such.  I just thought I should introduce myself to the community formally.  My name is Brad, I am in my mid twenties (sorry I do not want to get too specific, hope you can understand).  I just moved to the Phoenix area from Florida.  I was raised in New York and lived most of my life in Washington.  The state, not the city.  lol  I lived not far from Seattle.  Seattle had some great providers.  I have only seen two providers so far.  One was when I had just turned 18, kind of like a treat to myself.  The other occasion was years later.  That encorter was excelent, I had an 10 hour appointment with that provider.  Then about six months later I had an 5 hour appointment with the same provider.  I like long appointments, because you get to know the provider all that much better.  Which come to the question I wanted to raise to the local providers in the Phoenix area.  I am an amatuer photographer.  I love to take photos of people.  The equipment I have is excelent for someone at my level and I have had pletty of experience.  I would love to help out some of the local indy providers get some more content on the web.  I just wanted to see how the local providers felt about being photographed.  Whether during an appointment, or not.  Of course I am not talking anything that would get anyone into trouble, I should not have to say anything more on that.  lol  Where do you ladies stand on this subject?  I also wish that more of the local providers offered Incall services.  I understand the cost, risk and such with having an incall.  It is just that I do not live alone.  Enough said on that.  lol  Anyways, I have said enough.  I hope to get to know everyone.  =0)

To hear you say that most providers here don't have incalls? Everyone I know of does, and if they don't have their own, they arrange for one.

On the Photographer issue, I personally do not like photographs taken during a session. I have a photographer for that. I think most of us (independants and agencies alike) Love Glen of Phoenix 411 for that.

I guess you could say most do, does not mean I wish more had it too.  I understand why a provider would not like to get photographed by hobbyist (hope I am spelling that right, but I doubt it).  Not sure how other people feel, but I like more amatuer photos of providers.  Give me a real feel of what to expect.  =0)

Like Tina said, I don't know anyone who doesn't have an incall, so I am not sure where you got that from (but if you say so, I am sure that is the way it is for you). Most girls do take beautiful pictures and they put them on their website. Like Tina said, Glen is excellent for this, however there are plenty girls without the glamour shots too, I am one for example. I never did any glamour shots, mostly because that is not what I look like everytime I meet a gentleman, however I have been seriously considering to do them though. If nothing else, just for me to look at...lol. Good luck in finding the right girl.

You have raised quite a number of questions within your post.  My first comment is that there are a great deal of local providers here in the Valley that have incall locations.  Where are you looking?  I am sure should you choose to utilize Phoenix411.net you will find that over half of the local girls present on that board have their own incall location.

I should point out to you, also, that there are a good deal of amateur photographers in The Valley of the Sun.  Are you wanting to build a portfolio or just take pictures of the girls you see.  Are you expecting to barter your services?  If so, I would doubt that you would get much of a response from a reputable indy.  We are innundated with such requests already and tend to hit the delete key rather than respond.  

It's wonderful that you prefer longer appointments, there are many lovely local ladies who are able to accomodate your requests.  

Good luck with your search!

I think everyone misunderstood my question about photographing a provider.  I do not base my decision on whether or not I see a provider if she allows me to photograph her.  I just enjoy doing so.  I only wanted other provider's opinions and how they would feel if someone asked them to be photographed.  That is all.  I also know there are a lot of providers that offer incall.  There are a few in the Phoenix area that have great reviews but do not offer incall and I feel I am missing out.  I guess if I REALLY wanted to make an appointment with them so bad I could figure out a way.  lol  Thanks for all the help.  =0)
