So many photographers after so few models. Really hard to get models to say yes to a shoot. At least it is for me.

Hmm... how much money were you offering?

Been through this discussion before on another thread about inexperienced models wanting $$$, yada yada yada

I contact many about TFP and that is what they are happy with but they just won't commit.

keep in mind that some of us are just really busy with other obligations--and yes, i am more willing to shuffle my schedule when i am getting paid to do so

You are right Phoenix, models are busy and many that are in my area (Columbus, Toledo, Cleveland) are not pro's so I know they have jobs, boyfriends, etc. But photograpers are busy too and don't want to spend so much time messageing back and forth and back and forth for a shoot.
