I've been contacted by a potential client who saw some photos I shot from another client. I've photographed 2 woman (in their 30's) last year for some boudoir photos. Personally it's not my thing, but money is money. They liked my work and have recommended this 18 year old high school girl to me. So she reached out to me and I've indicated I would need to check my schedule and get back with her.
Even though she is 18 years old, it still seems more on the wrong side. Plus I'm not sure what sort of legal issues could be lurking around.
I would really appreciate your feedback on this.

Even doctors have another person in the room when examining someone of the other gender.robbie wrote:

Maybe something is telling you this is iffy, perhaps you picked up on some comment or inference that is making you question this, or then again maybe it's just that the age is young as an adult and that's causing you to wonder about doing this.
