This gives me a good amount of time to get to know them and allow them to know me too and get more comfortable with the whole thing.
But this particular girl came along when my business was still really new, and circumstances just happen to bring her to my house for an initial shoot. She was terrific at that time, the pics sold instantly. Who knew that 3 years later she'd turn into little-annie-crackhead-from-hell??

heheh yeah.. thats a great process.. coffeeshops are great.. they are totally neutral meeting grounds don't have her thinking she's going to walk into a "den of porn" on her first meeting.. she's just "going for a coffee"..
Im about to get into sourcing model's a little more and PO's are great for model's sending in their pics.. also means their current or future anti-porn boyfriend's don't have your address as well
but yeah I guessed it was something early on or unusual for you and not standard business practice..
oh yeah the no. 1 reason i'd never bring a model back for a shoot at my place?..
you know those vids you've seen of guys nailing their sacks to planks of wood?..
my partner would give me the upside down jesus treatment so fast it would make my head spin
