Got a modeling offer, but am weirded out by it.

Buying your first camera and offering to take other people's pictures was my first red flag.

I can't think of a single father of an underage daughter who would allow her to be photographed in lingerie by a stranger off the internet.

Way too many red flags here, you definitely made the right choice!

Unless "boudoir" photography is a field you're going to seriously get in to and research vigorously- forget it. There are TONS of gigs out there, you don't have to take them all. I don't use Craigslist for anything anymore - it's become a festering cesspool of crazy.

You're on the right track with the Facebook page for advertising; you can do quite a bit with it and reach a much wider (and more targeted) audience!

Again, he said that they would be "senior styled" not that they would specifically be senior photos to be used in a yearbook. The photos could have just been a portrait style. Furthermore, I was probably excited about getting my first potential client, that I didn't add all of the details up until later. And after realising the true kind of photos this person wanted, and then the model's age, that I was put off by it. Which resulted in me saying no, to the offer. Also You can still be an adult in high school, I was 18, making me an adult, during my senior year.

I'll just have to be more selective when it comes to accepting shoots! But I really do appreciate everyone's input here.
