You should let your fellow photographers know. Its a system of checks and balances. I refer my reliable model friends to good photographers that I have worked with and vice versa.

Accountability is essential in a business relationship, and at some point people need to recognize that that is what this is.

Ok, here's my advive to the OP and all the other photographers. Hire Aestival, or other models in your area who are just like her. She is not only beautiful and works great in front of the camera, but she will show up every time no matter what.

I think we can all do each other a better service by letting everyone know who the great ones are. Forget about the bad ones, learn from the experience, and just move on.
