Krissy Krissy Krissy, I never woulda thought you would stoop to posting such insinuating pictures of yourself on the internet like this 
J/k, they are fabulous pics and im very impressed with your professionalism and taste in the matter. Definitely respectable
Ill have to check out your site to see the others.
Btw the 4th pic (first of the 2 in black dress) reminded me of the stacy keibler chick.
Edit: Something that slipped my mind (imagine that), in your day shots, try shooting either on an overcast day where the sun light is difussed or early in the morning or late in the evening... even shooting in a shady spot (DSLR's will pick up light that may look to dark to us) will help. The reason im saying this is because the sun is the harshest light imaginable (aside from non-difused flashes) and it does nothing but cast hard shadows and washes your colors out tremendously. If you shoot at dawn/dusk, shade or overcast, you'll get much more contrast and "pop" to your colors. Just a thought of something for you to try out.
For an example, this pic clicky wouldnt have your face so dark and unrecognizeable if that makes sense. It would be a share darker but not such a drastic contrast from the non-shadow part of your skin.

Haha funny! Thanks for the tips though, I do appreciate it. I was trying to find shots I liked and immitating the lighting and effects, while also just coming up with stuff on the spot. Part of me likes the over-exposed look, but some of it wasn't meant to be that way. While we were there we realized we needed one of those large deflectors to try and cancel out the shadows...we found some big white cardboard but it didn't really do the trick so we just shifted the car and me around a bunch to try and fix what we could.
Next time I'll def take this into consideration. Also, those reflectors can be purchased for a reasonable amount of $$ so that's an option too. Maybe then people walking by will think it's more legit, instead of looking like a web **** shoot! haha
Ed, David, Joe...thanks for the kind words. Seems like most people get what I was going for.
Marc - if you have any more questions about the Brembos and the Fanblades let me know. Nutshell: you only need 1/2" spacers up front!

PS - those are shorts I'm wearing not a dress!

Krissy, you can get reflectors and all, but you'll need a flash system to use on them as just sunlight bouncing off isnt going to be enough to kill the shadows. Thats why I say shoot in overcast days, not direct sunlight. You'll be alot happier with the turn out.
Oh and you wont need reflectors or extra flashes for the most part if the sun isnt direct and casting the shadows

Something else I meant to say.. if you want a GREAT small fairly inexpensive book to read that I got and it helped my photowork tremendously, check out http://www.scottkelbybooks.com/produ...otography-book. Its a great read and basically each page is a tip or trick or how he would shoot something.

I was playing around in iPhoto after Ed commented on the B&W - its hard with the overexposed photos because everything just blends into itself!!
Anyway, thanks agian everyone...!

VERY NICE!! Just drove thru your beautiful city too, for the first time ever!! Some very nice archtectual(sp?) spots and if the rest of the female residents are as fair as you, well.......What can I say? Just, very beautiful photos, do try Scot's overcast idea, and its good to plan out the shoot, but also leave some time to be spontaneous!!!
