Hey, hey!  My name is Monique and I am making a come back from a mom-hiatus.  I would like to get my portfolio back up and running and am currently looking for photographers who are wanting to "fine tune" their portfolios and willing to do some TF work. 

A little about me...  I am totally open minded, creative, fiercely confident but always looking to improve.  I love some good constructive criticism and take feedback like a champ!  I am not interested in becoming the next Tyra because I want to stand unapologetically in my own light.  I'm not a flake and I work hard for my photographers.  I am definitely goofy at times and love to laugh and joke with people.  And even though I may be an "older" model (at a whopping 38 years old), I do it because I love a good creative outlet.   

Since you all have YOUR list - Here's MY list of don'ts:

1.  Don't show up naked.  Please.  The last time that happened, he got arrested and it was aired on To Catch a Predator.  (That's a lie, btw... but seriously, don't show up naked)
2.  Don't ask me to get naked.... I know my boundaries and have no problem standing my ground.
3.  Don't contact me if you are notorious for ditching when it comes time to produce the pictures, OR it takes you months to edit them.  I can only be patient for about 2 months.  Maybe 2 months and 4 days.  (Unless prior arrangements have been made)
4.  Don't be a flake.  You don't want flaky models.  I don't want a flaky photographer.  I'm more than understanding as long as you communicate with me!  I'm not your spouse so I don't need reasons - just common courtesy so I can make other plans. 
5.  Don't be scared to ask for ideas, give ideas, ask for TF, or contact me in general.  I'm not conceited, close-minded, bashful, or snobby.  I'm here to have fun, do what I love, meet people, and gain experience. 
6.  I can't think of any more don'ts.  That's good, right? 

Ok.  There ya have it.  I look forward to collaborating with you and anybody else that wants to get creative together!  <3
