Katie, The images you posted are very nice.. and you are a very beautiful lady.
I cant pm you, but I wanted to offer some info for you and other gals to be aware of (in case you werent).
If you pay for a shoot with a professional photographer, All of the images are basically yours. Not the copyright, but the use of the images. When paying for a shoot, you need to be sure that anything you and the photographer agree to is spelled out in an agreement. That mean usage, number of images you get, etc.
If you did what is in the "industry" called a TFP or TFCD shoot (TFP=Time For Prints, TFCD=Time for CD of images), Again the photographer owns the copyright, but usually the written and signed Model agreement or usage agreement, will outline what you can or cannot do with the images. As well as how many images you get, be they prints or on the CD.
When I do a TFCD shoot for someone, I give them a CD of all images cropped for use on the web. I edit and clean up anywhere from 10 to 30 (depending on how many images were shot, and how many different outfits/settings we shot). In most cases I give the "model" anywhere from 20 to 50 images. Again, it just depends on the number of images I took. I do not include images that were dark, blurred, or totally crappola.
I have shot a number of T-gals, and GG's. I have shot performers, both in the clubs performing, as well as in studio settings, outdoors, and also in hotel suites or private homes. I have shot with providers, professional models, as well as women I have met out and about....
I used to shoot stills for a couple of the Adult video companies in L.A. in the past, and some of them used my images for posters and or box covers for the videos.
It has alway been my passion to shoot with beautiful Ladies of any type. As to your images and your comment about smiles... Yep they can enhance an image or detract from an image, it all depends on the total look of the image as shot. All of yours are beautiful. Ok, I lied.. all are beautiful, but a few are exquisite.
Yes, as someone else pointed out.. they are all very similar as they were all shot in the same place/"bed": 3 with your lingerie outfit on, and 2 of those on top of the bedspread. Using the same "set", outfit and lighting will of course make them all look similar. But they are all very good images, showing a very beautiful young woman.
Using a MUA (Make-up Artist), is a choice you make, I usually have one available, or let the model do her own for that natural or girl next door look. And I never limit myself to only one "set" or backdrop. Remember.. variety IS the spice of life.
Sorry this is so long winded.. but I tend to ramble on when I see such a beautiful lady with beautiful images.
Have a great week. (come to Arizona soon)
