She said everytime she tried to look sexy, when she saw the photo she looked mad.
We shot for a couple of hours with several props, just trying different expressions.
To me this one is sexy. (she doesn't think so but her husband does)

shot outside in the only available shade. Probably should have used fill and did for some but the shadows in this one add mystery, at least in my little mind.

comments welcome

the light on her face isn't my favourite.  I also don't like the way the front arm is posed, coming straight at the camera distorts her arm so it looks short and fat.  She is a pretty girl, but she looks more confused than sexy to me.  When trying to get sexy looks from a client I have them tilt their chins down a bit to make their eyes bigger and tell them to give me some intensity from their eyes, but tell them to relax their foreheads and mouths.
I know this sounds weird, but have your client look through some men's magazines, notice that most of the sexy expressions are all about the eyes.
