Dunno if you've done so already - but you could let her see some of your models and express your concerns about her being able to convey those looks. It is a very valid concern though. I've found some VERY experienced models are just LOST when it comes to feet. They just can't make their minds comprehend, even when being given clear and straight forward direction. Or does she have any shots in her portfolio that hint she might be capable of the feel you're looking for?

SHOOOOOOOOT! Adam, you're a great photographer and most of your models always look as though they enjoy themselves during a shoot. I'm sure your charm and creativity will work no less magic here!

Well Trini, I did shoot, and where do I begin? I can use the words "train wreck" or "Titanic" to describe yesterday's session, but they would somehow not do justice to the debacle I had to witness.
I pride myself in being a pretty decent country photographer, able to get the best out of even the most difficult models, but I have to admit defeat, and tell you guys that this chick got the best of me yesterday.
I don't see the point in going into all the gruesome details, and I will also say that the girl has really sexy feet, and very high arches, but with all that, I ended cutting the session in half 'cause it quickly became very apparent to me that things were not going to get any better. At such times, it's just best to cut your loses, pack your bags, and hope for better days. There's a sample below, but that set is so below my standards, that I'm seriously considering "eating" the money, and not posting it at all.

Trouble as in posing, or as in like her attitude and such? You're used to dealing with more mainstream models than I am, since I only dab in that market.

Ha... I gotcha. I recently did a shoot with one of my site's popular girls and she was just so overly annoying that it made me wish I had spent the day shooting someone else. I won't name her as she's not a bad person, she just brought her no common sense in spades that day and it was a drag. LOL... I feel your pain.

Well, I can say that she does have some good arches.........But considering what you had to go through, it's best if you just, as you said, cut your losses and move on.

I can relate to the disappointment something similar happened to me in in May. We connected and things were cordial, but the model couldn't pose. So I focused on her feet which were quite nice.
Though her rates were reasonable, I'll skip a second shoot with her.
