I'm looking to expand my portrait portfolio and would like to hire some models or find people that would be OK for taking portrait. Where are you all finding your models?

Try Model Mayhem .... Look for models in your area. Many starting out are willing to trade a CD of portrait photos for their time (this is known as TFCD or TFP). They need to build up their portfolios too.
