First impressions: a plain port focused mostly beauty and portraiture
Your Skill level: aspired photographer
Your creativity:  model driven
Specific  style: still searching, nothing edgy
Your Work focus: portraiture
Your MM Profile usefulness: useful
Your challenges: This may or may not be important to you but I think you should try to get rid of shadow casts in outdoor shoots where light is uneven and some areas on the face exposes more then other parts. (see shadow cast on legs https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/40814958 +18 )
and are some examples.
Another thing to avoid is uneven background when using shallow depth of field.  In this you lack dynamic range and the blur makes the background even worst. Colorful busy background will create an outstanding bouket like this and I like it very much.
unless really wanted avoid  obstructions in front of the subject as it can create awkward tints  watch  the hair. it gives a feeling of a cut/injury on the side of the face in this photo.
Paid assignments: maybe
Your money shot: https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/40814960 +18
Suggestions/ Bottom line/verdict: watch outside natural lighting, use reflectors avoid shadow casts on unwanted areas.
Do you make my list?: no

Thank you very much! I really appreciate it and will try to improve paying attention to all your suggestions.
Thank you again!

What I like: 
What to delete:  it will not get you hired
not much flattering and pointless.
Delete all photos with has black dot censor marks on your nipples and elsewhere, they are an eye sore, the best is to delete if you don't want your stuff to be seen.
Suggestions/ Bottom line/verdict: I am not crazy about your poses like this
too synthetic.

Suggestions/ Bottom line/verdict: You created your own style but I am not sure they come across with the impact you are trying to create. I don't find your "male sub" compositions much of interest as an art form just the way imaged. however The "disturbing factor" you want there is indeed present with full effect.

Your MM Profile usefulness: to the point
Your challenges: your gaze to the camera doesn't vary a lot.

Your money shot: what a shame it is cropped too tight
What I like:  I like body taping better then body painting, in this case tedious but looks awesome
What to delete:  keep either color or BW version of the same photos,  you can ditch all the night photos with the dress and just keep this one
Suggestions/ Bottom line/verdict: you have too many redundant look of same photos in same outfits,  not only they don't add much to the port but become a distracting factor for someone who  has to scroll a lot to find what he would be interested in seeing. You would do great in pinups and fashion.

A review would be most sincerely appreciated. Your dedication to this is remarkable.

First impressions: Nice work overall with few caveats
Your Skill level: Good photographer bad retoucher
Your creativity:  some nice portraiture and fashion work
Specific  style: some artistic slant
Your Work focus: beauty fashion
Your MM Profile usefulness: very informative
Your challenges: some models need more directions but ultimately the photographer is responsible for avoiding deer in headlights syndrome in addition your high key removes all face details.in this arm hair is an eye sore upon close inspection. watch your shallow depth of  field  in portraiture I don't find the face in focus enough find your lens' sweet spot. lighting here is a miss your single light source low key work is a miss as well it was better to add a reflector on the left side of the subject. very bad skin smoothing on face. [delete]
Paid assignments: yes
What I like:  you definitly like glass backgrounds, it might add some zing to the photos but looks boring if it is repetitive in a port.
What to delete:  the wind here is not helping you
Suggestions/ Bottom line/verdict: I find some of your photos overly photoshopped.Contrast and tonality is in border line but tend to lose details. I have the impression that you manipulate /alter  highlights shadows and midtones often and probably (not sure ) you also add vignetting
indoor boudoirs are nice but I find some unwanted artifact seen here on nylons at least oñ m my monîtor https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/41576402
you should hide the flash in the background https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/41576399
.
reflection of lighting equipment in glass background should be also avoided

What I like:  but too much yellow hue for my taste
What to delete:  https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/41600379 faked shadows and bad retouch
Suggestions/ Bottom line/verdict: you have some strong and some weak photos in your port, perhaps you could consolidate and reduce your image count. Your nudes has some artistic trends but because I find in general the best artistic nudes somewhat boring, static and redundant in most portfolios I wouldn't bother to elaborate. Your light in studio/indoor settings is a bit flat, outdoor nudes at the border line as art.
Do you make my list?: no but if you had this https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/39317145 shot in the middle of a big hall furnished in french baroque style I would.

Keep up the great work!

Suggestions/ Bottom line/verdict: may want to add emphasis to boxing in your port and add some real action content.
Watch tight crops -> watch the hair, covering one eye won't add much to the story. High key -> is OK but again cropping this tight doesn't make it strong.
